Determine why legends are no longer appearing in line plots in v6.0 release

[bikegeek]

Replace italics below with details for this issue.

Describe the Problem

The METviewer v6.0 line plots are no longer displaying legends. Based upon preliminary troubleshooting, it appears that the YAML config file created by METviewer is setting the show_legend value to '1' rather than 1. The METplotpy plotting code is expecting the numerical value of 1 (to display legends). The XML config file indicates value of c(1) for show_legend.
