Hello,

I would like to show/hide an element in an svg graphic.

I looked at a few things about this and via cx\_hide it also works in template (with function "return {  
payload: msg.payload,  
topic: "xxxx@cx\_hide"  
};".

However, not in the svg.

Does anyone have an idea for me please.

thanks greetings

Hi @ninaaa,

In the [manual](https://github.com/bartbutenaers/node-red-contrib-ui-svg/blob/f10f2a313a4156ddb773ddc804880731d409efee/docs/msg_control.md#remove-an-attribute-via-msg) you can find a demo about changing the **visibility** of an svg element. Does that help?

Bart

Thanks for the tip.  
Unfortunately, something always doesn't work for me!

Since I work with S7 I get the message  
"A msg.payload is required (msg.\_msgid = '5c16bb24d2fe53cc')" always with a different msgid.

I couldn't recreate the error any other way!

The ON/HIDE works, but the error message always comes up.

I've just solved the problem.  
I used two changes, now I have solved it with one cahnge and two rules and the problem is no longer there!

Thanks
