The CWGraph3D axis loose fit behavior

The CWGraph3D control's X,Y and Z axis behave as if they have a loose fit. That is, they do not make their axis minimum and maximum limits correspond to what their data values are but instead round the minimum down and maximum up to some integer increment. This often leaves significant empty space along the axis. LabVIEW's graph has a loose fit property to turn off this behavior. Does such a property exist for the CWGraph3D control ?

Steve-
I do not beleive that there is any property node equalivent to the Loose Fit option available on teh waveform graph.

Earphones aren't recognized by iPod (no light and the earphones are loose fitting inside iPod)

My earphones arent recognised by my iPod touch, no red light, does anyone know what to do?

If the earphones work in other devices but not your iPod you very likely have a worn-out or damaged jack in the iPod. There are third-party place that will replace the jack or you can do it yourself if so inclined.

LabVIEW 2009 3D Plot has no Loose Fit property and Axis AutoScale does not function at run time ?

I cannot find a Loose Fit property for the new 3D plots (waterfall, ribbon) in LV 2009. As a result, my data range of 1402 to 1407 ends up on a Z axis range of 1400 to 1500 and looks like a flat line.
The Z Active Axis properties Range Maximum and Range Minimum can be used to set the range but the Z Axis Autoscale property had to be changed to False using either the front panel Plot Properties at edit time or using the Range Auto Scale property at run time on the block diagram. It could not be changed at run time by popping up on either the plot border or on the Color Palette.
In edit mode, R-clicking on the Color Palette's AutoScale Z did not make that property toggle or stick and did not change its function.
At run time, there are two AutoScale Z selections shown. One along with the X and Y scales and another by itselfat the bottom. Again, clicking the one that is part of the X and Y axis did not make its setting stick and did not have an effect. What does happen though is that the other AutoScale Z shown at the bottom of the Color Pallete popup does toggle its state. But clicking on the AutoScale Z shown at the bottom does not toggle its state.
The grey border region of the plot area contains at run time, popup setting for X,Y and Z AutoScale that likewise have no effect.
Or am I missingsomething ?

Steve,
you should be able to successfully change the scales based on the min and max values as long as you explicitly turn off autoscale. In your program, I just right-clicked the Range Auto Scale property selected "change to write", then made a control so that I could set the value myself. Clean up the broken wires, and the program runs like it's supposed to - resetting it's scale range:
is this the result you wanted?

Where do I get the x-axis time from?

Everytime I run a VI, on the chart I get 295 milliseconds and if I run it twice, I get 591. (notice the multiple of two). What I am wondering is why is it 295 everytime? When I profile the VI's there run time is constantly varying. So how come the 295 on the chart or graph is constant? Where is this number so that I can change it and what does it mean?
I am going to attach some pictures of what I mean.

Unless you set the time the X axis will just display the number of samples, not the time. The name of the axis is by default time yes, but that's not what it will display unless you set the X scale offset and multiplier properties, and change the format of the scale to time.
If you use a chart it will hold the previous data so if you get 295 samples per run it will just add the next 295 samples when you run it a second time...giving a total of 590 (if the scale is set to be "Loose Fit" the scale range will be a bit wider than the actual number of samples displayed).
In the final application I would recommend that you redesign the user interface, it looked very messy. Get rid of all the colors, group and align the graphs and controls/other indicators that rela
te to eachother (or put them on the same graph), give them proper names, separate them from other groups of data either by having some front panel space between them, a border around the different groups or place them in separate windows to reduce the number of graphs in the same window (too much information at once is not good). You can find GUI design guidelines here on the zone.

How to i get the pages window to fit the screen

Just downloaded the pages app. How do i make the program fit the whole screen of the macbook?

Correct the Locked full screen IS windows behavior and has not been the way Mac OS has worked to-date.
Its a long standing bone of contention especially among early switchers that are so used to having IE/MS Word/ Outlook etc.. spread across their monitor with a swathe of white each side of the actual text.
OSx behavior is based on a true desktop and a genuine multi tasking metaphor (Also the reason Macs own range monitors have been wide screen for so long)
It is designed to enhance work flow and specifically take advantage of TRUE full drag and drop across the entire OS with use of the desktop as a conduit rather than simply programme launcher (The way many Windows users do)
Interestingly with the continued OS convergence today see W7 acknowledge that the locked screen approach being obsolete in a multi tasking work environment with "new" the snap to feature allow two windows side by by side
(Its actually not new but automated tile windows vertically that's be there since the dawn of time (hidden like much of windows - Right click over the task bar choose Tile Windows Vertically - Very intuitive !)
At the same time Apple are building in Full Screen functionality into OS10.7 Lion !
Personally not sure i'll be using it !

Loose fit in XY-Graph

Hi, all.
How can I get the "Loose Fit" Property to work properly in a XY-Graph?
I want the end markers of the Y-scale to be rounded to a multiple of the increment I set for Y-scale (that is 1). And I would like this to be working while I use the "PAN" tool. But I don't see any change when I set this property to TRUE, either I selected "PAN" or not.
What am I doing wrong?
By the way, I also want the plot area bounds to stay still when I use the PAN tool. I get changes in width when varies the Y-Scale.
Any suggestion?
I use LabView 8.6, and Windows XP.
Thanks,
Francisco

Hello:
The property "loose fit" works but in order to see this behaviour you must deal with a small scale, since it has not relation to the increment as you expected (and I also thought in the beginning). In the example I am attaching you can see this beahaviour and how changing the value of the increment does not affect to the result. Also, you do not need to modify the "active x-scale" o "active y-scale" since you have only one and that is the active. I have tried it on LabVIEW 2009. The VI is saved for 8.6 so that you can execute it but the behaviour is exactly the same in both versions.
I hope this can clarify the behaviour of this property.
Regards.

Moving the X axis

I'm creating a bar chart with a minimum value of -200 and a max of 300.
I need the X axis line to be at 0, but it's putting it at -200.
Is there a way for me to move it to 0?
Thanks

Hey Q*bert,
Thanks for the tip. I've also found that if you hold the Option key while dragging a point it seems to keep the coordinates at whole numbers. I was getting my problem with the snapping turned on as well, though I wasn't always at the beginning of the timeline when attempting a move.
I haven't been using keyframes just because I haven't really thought about it since getting Motion. The behaviors are just so much nicer to work with and the ability to scale and move them without worrying about the keyframe position is nice.

Custom the CWgraph3D Control

Hello,
Curretly I met
another challenge about the CWgraph3D control. I want to show a
background image on a fixed ranges/axes area of the CWgraph3D control
in the XY view (or any of the other two projection, does not matter).
What I mean is, I have my CWgraph3D control set for the XY (2D) view,
and for example, the range of x and y are both 0 - 10 (fixed). I want
to show a back ground image of the control so that when I plot things
on the control, I will see what I plotted + the background image. I
cannot find a way to do it, can anyone give me a hand? Thanks.

Hi,
Here is an example of what I am doing: Say, I have a sphere object sitting in the origin of the 3D Control and I am looking at it from the XY view (see the attached pic01). The X and Y axis is fixed (say, for example, both range from -10 to 10 crossing the sphere). The black line is there as a refernce. The task is to use a blade to cut the sphere along the reference black line. Assume I have a way to detect the movement of the blade so that I can show it in the 3D Control, my problem is how to show the sphere and the black line (which is the pic01 image) so that I know if I am at the right angle to cut my object. If it is complicated to custom the 3D control to show the image, is there a way that I can overlay an image on top of the 3D control and set its transparency to a level that I can see both the image and the plots in the 3D control?
BTW, the object to be cut is more complicated so that I want to just put the image in the 3D control.
Again, thanks all for your helps.

How To keep CNiKnob from going directly from the Min axis value to the Max axis value?

When a user drags the pointer on a CNiKnob with the mouse, he/she is able to drag the pointer directly from the minimum axis value to the maximum axis value.
This is obviously unacceptable. So is there a way to disable this behavior or a work around?

Unfortunately, there is not an easy way to do this with CNiKnob. One way you could work around it would be to handle the CNiKnob's OnPointValueChanged event and keep track of the previous value, then detect if the value jumps from the min to the max or vice versa and if it does, set it back.
If you migrate to .NET in the future, the Measurement Studio Windows Forms .NET Knob control lets you easily configure this and is the default behavior when you add a Knob to your form. For more info, see the documentation for the Knob.InteractionMode property.

Problem with the Z axis...blurred objects...what'd I miss?

Howdy,
I've got some vector objects in Flash that start out real small--like 20-30 pixels square. When I change their position on the Z axis to 'zoom in' on them, the larger they get, the blurrier they get.
When I just tween the x/y size, and not move the z axis they look fine.
For example draw a 20x20 square on the stage.
Convert it to a movie clip so that I can 3D it.
Scale it up to 300 pixels.
Looks fine.
Adjust the Z axis by 1.
Blllluuuurrrrrrrrr.
Did I miss a setting somewhere or is this just a limitation that needs to be worked around?
Thanks in advance,
-Ted

Rothrock, Excellent link, thanks for that! Have some points.
After reading it:
crap.
Looks like I need to learn about hand coding the 3d effects, or using scaling instead and adding switch when I need the z....
Hmmm...that'll require a little mor coffee.

I have all my music on an external media drive that has crashed. How can I get the music of my ipod touch back onto the comupter without loosing the music when it syncs. in order to start rebuilding my music collection?

You should be able to recover the media with the tips in this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That should switch the assocation of the device to the new library but it is not something I've personally tested.
When you get it all working, make a backup!

I have an alias of one of my external hard drives in my trash. When I click on "show original" all my external H D 's and my Mac hard drive show up. How do I delete this icon from the trash without loosing all my files?

I have an alias of one of my external hard drives in my trash. When I tried to delete it, it showed that I was deleting 80,000 files and counting. I stopped the delete process and when I clicked on "show original" all my external H.D.'s and my Mac hard drive show up. How do I delete this alias from the trash without loosing all my files? When I tried to drag it back to the desk top, it just made a duplicate and remained in the trash. When I turned off the external H.D., the trash was then empty. Tried rebooting the computer and then turning the external hard drive back on and the alias shows up in the trash again. Much help appreciated.
Rich

In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes". (no quotes)
Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.
If it does contain data...

How can I change the Y axis to show my values in a descending order in Numbers. eg zero at the top and the maximum value at bottom?

Hi,
I'm just about getting to grips with Numbers, but I'm stumped at the moment with this problem.
I want to show zero at the top on the (y) axis, as zero is the goal and 100 is the starting point?
can it be done? i would really appreicate some help on this.
Kind regards
Rob

Is it so difficult to read given answers ?
Barry described the correct scheme.
In the table "to_chart", the cell A1 contains :
=ROUNDUP(ABS(MIN(Tableau 1 :: B:E))/10,0)*10
The cell B2 embed the formula :
=$A$1+Tableau 1 :: B2
Apply fill down and fill to the right.
On the left edge, the colored rectangle is a text block in which I inserted the label values.
Of course if you dislike this scheme, you are perfectly free to use an other application.

How can I scale just one dimension of a pic? I need to shrink the width only, to fit the frame.

HELP! How can I shink only one dimension? I need to shrink the width slightly to fit the frame; the program only allows scaling that is proportional, so when I shrink the width the heigh becomes too short. Father Mike

I'd recommend using the rectangular marquee and the crop command. This will crop the image to an exact size without any resampling or distortion. Cropping without constraint can cause distortion...like giving someone a cone head.
Check the size of the image first by either looking in the Image<Resize<Image Size. Make a notation of the height since you don't want to change that in this case. (While you are there, change the resolution to the desired output...make notation of height after this step if you changed the resolution.)
Select the Rectangular Marquee tool. Change the setting in the options bar to "Fixed Size" and input the desired size. (Along with the numbers, specify in this box in what units you desire...px, in, etc.
Drag the marquee to the desired location. (As long as the marquee tool is selected, this selection box can be moved around).
Go up to the menu bar and select Edit<Crop.
