I don't believe any of this is handled automatically by the EQ_SLOW flag in the C++ code. I think you always have to manually create the history plots, normally using the webpage interface.

There is also a function in the python code called "client.hist_create_plot(group_name, panel_name, variables, labels=[])" that can slightly automate this, though you do have to know what midas is internally calling your variables. 

You can find out what the variables are called either through the webpage interface when creating a plot, or via the python script at $MIDASSYS/python/examples/basic_hist_script.py
