3D Plot Color Ramp - Colors to Values

Hi all,
The Color Ramp for 3D plots only displays 3 values; not all values for every displayed color is shown (see below).
The actual values associated with each color is available via the 3D Plot Properties dialog (during edit).
How can I access the values for these colors programmatically such that I can display them to the user?
Thanks,
Battler.

You're right that they don't match the values exactly. It also is completely dependent on how the values are set for your particular color ramp, especially whether or not they are evenly spaced. In your first post, you showed a picture with the colors distributed according to the default. The method I mentioned in the previous post gets pretty close to these values (really a little under each of them - has to do with how the default is distributed).
You're also right that this isn't a very good solution. It's a work around to a functionality that I don't think exists. There are probably better work around options - that's just what I came up with.
One question please Alisha.
Are we to accept your work-around as the best answer NI can offer?
I would think a CAR is called for to ensure R&D is at the very least aware of the issue.
A little concerned this will get swept under the rug,

Xy graph plot color

Hi!
I have a XY Graph with 2 plots. For screen displey I have the Graph with black background color. But for printing I set the BG-color to white and the Plot colors to black.
Before changing the Plot colors I save the colors with a property node (setting active plot and reading plot color). After printing I try to restore the colors (same way, by setting active plot and writing plot color).
My problem is that the colors get only restored if I have set them manualy before. Otherwise the value gets saved but not restored and the plots stay black...
Anyone knows why this happens?
thanks

Plot.Plot Color Bug?

I am puzzled about this. Check out the two almost identical VIs attached. Run the first one and try to change the Plot Color. The color property changes based on the color value. Do the same with the second VI (PlotColorWrong.vi). Try to change the color of the plot - it does not change!
Am I doing something wrong or is this a LV bug?

Background Color - RGB Value

Hello,
I have embedded a video in this post. I have a FCP background color RGB Value 102, 151, 202. YOu can see the bad results in the video. The text almost starts out gray, then fades into white - which it should just simply fade in.
If I place the background in Motion - I don't have this issue - but I use Motion for titling.
Keep in mind, this is simply a test project, not the real project i was working with, but I replicated the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Predefine plot color palette

Has anyone found a way to change the set of colors used by Labview to color plots in a waveform or xy graph? By default the color sequence is white, red, green, blue, yellow, purple, orange... I'm working on a waveform graph that plots a sequence of waveforms collected by daqmx. The user can select which signals to measure and plot - e.g voltage, current, light intensity. The user also defines a test sequence where they would like to watch the response of the DUT at each segment of the sequence.
Based on other posts on this forum, I've figured out how to toggle between two plots in an xy graph to get the colors, but it seems like it should be much easier and more efficient to just change the preset colors that will be used by the waveform graph. Why not just set the palette to something like red, white, red, white... and let the graph do its thing?
Any ideas?

Hi Matthew,
I've gotten this method to work with an xy plot (I can't use waveforms since my dt is a user variable). Its much more processor efficient than using property nodes but I'm bothered by the 2x increase in memory. So far this is the best solution, but I can't help thinking that if I could change the color set that the graph pulls from when plotting, then I could just set the colors I want and let the plot do all the work. When you create a plot indicator on a vi front panel and look at the plot legend, the color set is always the same - where does it come from? Maybe an ini file somewhere?
It just occurred to me - when you modify a plot, like change the axes or plot colors, where are the changes saved? They are persistent, even when the vi is compiled. So in theory, it should be possible to do programmatically before I start filling the plot with data.

Constraining the algorithm for assignment of multiple plot colors

I would like to know if there is some way to modify the algorithm that
LabVIEW uses to automatically assign different colors when a graph
displays multiple plots. In particular, given the default background
color (black), it appears that black is never used for a plot color.
However, if I programmatically change the background color to white,
for example, I would like the plot color assignment to not use white. I
would also like to know if it is possible to constrain the plot color
assignment to a single color a priori, without having to go back and
explicitly assign the colors of each plot via the property node in a
loop.
Thanks.
Lyle

I think you will have to create your own plot color assignment function to do this.
You can set the color of each plot by using the active plot property (index of the plot you want to change) and then set the plot color property (just expand one and the same property ndoe to set both at the same time).
You can then make that function check the background color and choose a color table that fits. If this is in a built application you would run this function when a color change is detected, if it's in the development environment you need this feature make the function ask for a VI and plot name (so that it can get a reference to the plot) and put it in your projects folder. That way whenever you need to set the plot colors differently you just select this function from the Tools menu of LabVIEW. An easier alternative though would be to just create the different graphs you need (with the colors for all plots already defined correctly for that background etc.) and save them as custom indicators...

Keeping plot colors with the right data

I have a vi written in 7.1 that has three traces in one plot. I have selector radio buttons so the user can turn on or off any channel. The problem is the color of the trace is automatically grabbed by the vi and chooses the colors based on which trace is turned on first, second and third. So, if the user turns off all of the channels and then turns them on one at a time, from top to bottom, they are correct, green, blue, and then red. But, if they turn them on from the bottom first, then the first and third traces no longer follow the plot color legend. Basically, I want to know how to lock a plot color to a given channel.
Regards,
Ron

I can't vouch for 7.1, but you are looking at plot.color property node similar to the one in this example. http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/C6BFD9BD5F01108C86256F8100638B29

To retain color space value for Monochrome images during flattening.

In our project, we are extracting image content from PDF file and doing some raster operation by using LeadTool and then flattening the processed image in PDF file.
Input PDf file: One page which has monochrome image
For extracting image content from PDF file, we are using below Acro Plugin API:
AVConversionConvertFromPDFWithHandler
After this, we will perform some raster operations by using LeadTool and then flattening will happen.
While doing flatten we are performing below operations in sequence:
1. Set bitspercomponent =1.
2. Create a new color table using DeviceRGB.
3. Create image by using below Acro Plugin API:
pdeimage = PDEImageCreate(&attrs, sizeof(attrs), &matrix, 0, cols1, NULL, &fil, asstm, NULL, 0);
4. Add image in PDF content.
Now flattening is successful, but monochrome(Original Image format) is changed to RGB. We want to retain the color space(DeviceGrey).
We have tried the below solution to retain the color space:
1. Using the old image's color space value for new image creation. But this gives inverted color(Black to White and vice versa)
Please help us to retain the color space while flattening.

We are using JPG file format.
Please find below the code portions which we used to add image in PDF file,

Different color for values in dropdown list

Hi All,

Hi,
the f:selectItem component does not have a style class or inline style property. Thus, I don't see how this can be done unless you write a custom solution like outlined here

Chart Plot Color change programatically

Hi,
May i know that for the graph plot in labview web ui design, can i change the plot color programatically ?

Hi Ceties,
There is Corrective Action Request:
CAR#36683
Though this is a bug and yet not solved, I prepared an example for you which show possible workaround - it is based on the fact, that the redrawing works correctly when you resize legend. Because this is not possible to do programmatically at ru-time for staced plots, this example uses SubPanel which display SubVI with only waveform chart. I know this is not convenient, but I guess you could use such a approach in order to improve yours customers' experience.

Plot colors mismatched with legend

Does any happen to know why colors on a graph would not match the colors indicated in the legend?
I am trying to use a property node to set the color and name for each set of data which is displayed. The colors and names are displayed properly in the legend, but the color of the plot itself does not follow.

The loop knows how many times to go due to a feature of LV called auto-indexing. If you pass in an array and let it autoindex on the boarder, the loop will automatically pull out the next value in the array with each iteration--AND set the number of time to loop before stopping. Compared to the hoops C makes you jump through to use arrays, this is indeed Very Cool...
Note that if you wire both the N terminal on a FOR loop, and autoindex an incoming array, the loop will iterate the smaller of the two sizes. For example, if you wire 5 to N and pass in an array with three elements, the loop will only go three times.
Finally, always remember that a FOR loop can iterate zero times. In that case any outputs coming directly from the loop will be
the default value for the datatype. Arrays will be empty, numbers will be zero'd and (this is a biggie) references numbers will be invalid(!).
In the case of your code, I modified the logic such that it generates an array of indexes that has one element for each signal selected. This array drives the loop that sets the plot properties. Note that if the operator selects more than 5 signals the higher-numbered plots will be undefined in terms of color and label because you only specify 5 colors in an array. (Input an array of 10 items and an array of 5 items and the loop only goes 5 times.)
Note that, although it's not used here, auto indexing also works with outputs. In that case though, the loop will automatically collect an array of the output values--one element per iteration.

Graph plot color

Dear all,
is there any way to have multiple colors in a single plot ?
here's a brief of what i am trying to do:
a graph is continuously running with a value '0'. when the stimulus is given, the value '1' is shown on the graph(just one value when the stimulus is given) and '-1' when it gets the response. the user sometimes gives response when no stimulus is given. that would be invalid response.
so if the response is valid i want to show '-1' as green and if it is an invalid response i want to show '-1' in red.
i am attaching the pic of the Graph .
how can i achieve that ??
Thanks,
Ritesh
Solved!

Hi Ritesh,
a single waveform can only have one color. Maybe you can use annotations. See the "Programmatically Annotate a Graph.vi" Example to get more information.

Correct!
So we have to resort to using a second plot to highlight the parts of the plot tht are out of spec.
I've used two methods
1)
Use second plot that has "naN' values for all points that are in spec and the actual values when out of spec. "NaN' points will not plot so the second plot will only paint when the values are out. Optionally set the "fill collor" of the second plot to "zero" and you will get blobs under that bad resposnses.
2)
More work but do what CC suggested in this thread where he uses the "NaN" trick on the first plot as well to shut off the normal plot while the value is out of spec.
Have fun!
