I would guess that there is, but it would be a word automation function.

How to display an image and add axis labels

Hey everyone,
I just had a really quick question on a program I created. It uses the vision module to open a file in a new display window, and I would like to add axis to the image simlilar to the picture below (With both the x and y axis labels as pixel, and a cursor which displays the pixel value or intensity). I have attached the simple program, as well as an example of the type of image I would like to open. Thank you for the help! =]

I've updated the open_img.vi file so that it works with the generic sample picture provided, but the program does not work with the image within the ZIP file from the previous post.
Or if anyone has any other ideas how to add axis labels to an image, I am by all means open to suggestion. Thanks

Can I align the orientation of axis labels in a graph generated with the report generation toolkit (Word)?

I was wondering how to align the axis labels, i.e. 90 degree or such when creating a graph with the report generation toolkit in word.
I can do it after the document is created through Format axis title -> alignment but is there a way out of LabVIEW?
I'd especially like to rotate the y-axis label by 90 degrees.
Thanks a lot,
Juergen

I think he means he can modify it by hand after the report has been generated... But what I want to do is generate the word graph out of labview already with the rotated axis label...
After I posted this I found out that we can do this with a macro and use it from labview, but unfortunately I don't know VB, or VBA...
Like this:

Setting the title font and axis labels in a graph created with the Report Generation Toolkit

I'm using the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office to generate Excel worksheets containing plots. Unfortunately, the default font size used in the plots is huge (see attached worksheet). I was able to use Excel Set Graph Font.vi to reduce the size of the axis labels, but there does not appear to be a function to do this to the title and legend. In addition, there does not appear to be a function to set the axis text labels. Before I write my own, has NI released additional functions to perform these tasks?
Thanks for your help,

Hello Zeidan
The graph title and legend font sizes can be changed by accessing a low level VI (Excel_Insert_Chart.vi) that is part of the excelsub.llb that is located at (C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\vi.lib\addons\_office). This VI is called dynamically from within the Excel Insert Graph.vi and it uses VI server technology to access the Excel exposed properties. Attached to this post is an image of the block diagram of this VI after I have modified it to set the font sizes of the title and legend to 15. The circles in the image represent what I had to add to accomplish this.

How can I add axis to an XY-graph programmatically (in LV 6i)?

I am currently using LabVIEW 6i to make a flexible graph window, which can be called and controlled from another VI. It's easy to send commands to the graph window over a queue interface (enabling things like adding and removing plots, changing the names, etc.)
However, I would also like to add/remove/assign axis like this (i.e. when the program is running). It seems to me that there isn't an attribute or method available on the XY-graph that will allow this.
My best solution so far is to have a maximum number of axis present, and then hide/show them when axis are removed/created. However, this triggers a bug in LV (AFAIK) when the axis are shown/hidden out of order (they will be shown
on top of each other). Now this can be solved by setting the positions/sizes of all axis every time, but that seems like a lot of work...
Is there a way to add/remove axis to an XY-graph programmatically (in LabVIEW 6i)?

I have not found a way to programmatically create/remove scales in LabVIEW.
In regards to the error, I would suggest updating to LabVIEW 6.0.2. I wrote a simple VI that tested this funcitonality and did not have any problems. The link to the 6.0.2 update is:

This is not an Idea on how to improve LabVIEW. It is a general LabVIEW question asking for help.
You need to post it in the LabVIEW forum.

Axis label, Legend and Title

Hi,
I am new to DIAdem, I have been struggling for too long so I have decided to ask for some help, I hope someone can help me.
I am writing a script to plot a graph and add axis labels, Legend and Title.
So far I have just been able to draw the graph but no success with the rest. I have found a few answers to my question but none of them work, I don't know why. I am using Diadem 2012 and this is my code:
Can someone tell me how I make the changes I need?
Thanks
Call PicDelete() 'Deletes all objects. Without this I won't show the curve but with it it deletes the Picloaded previously
Call GraphObjNew("2D-Axis","New_2DAxis") 'Creates a new 2D axis system
Call GraphObjOpen("New_2DAxis") 'Opens the axis object
D2AxisTop =25 'Sets the position
D2AxisBottom =30
D2AxisLeft =20
D2AxisRight =30
Call GraphObjNew("2D-Curve","New_Curve") 'Creates a new curve
Call GraphObjOpen("New_Curve") 'Opens the curve object
D2CCHNX ="Y_Accel" 'Defines the x-channel
D2CCHNY ="Strg_Angle" 'Defines the y-channel
D2CurveColor ="red" 'Defines the curve color
Call GraphObjClose("New_Curve") 'Closes the curve object
Call GraphObjClose("New_2DAxis") 'Closes the axis object
Call Picupdate

Hi Leillo
If you are using DIAdem 2012 you should use the new API. To get a starting point create the layout as you like and then open the corresponding dialog box and press CTRL-Shift-C. Then you have a lot of code in your clipboard, which you can past in you script editor and edit. The contents of the clipboard depends of the dialog box you opened.
You can also select an object in Report and press CTRL-Shift-C
For the new API you will also find tons of small scripts in the help, which shows you how to create labels, legend and titles:

X axis labels. How to reduce information.

Im having trouble finding how to reduce the number of x axis labels, (time), My graph is of temperature every 4 minutes over about 10 hours. I would like to have the x axis in hours, but Numbers seems to insist on labeling all 250 points. Is there a way to get Numbers to place x axis data labels only at every 25 data points? The Numbers Users Guide does not seem to address the problem.

If the intervals between x-values are the same, then a line graph will plot the data in the same fashion with correct distance between values. If the x-values have inconsistent intervals, then a line plot will not display the data properly.
But it appears that I did not look at the graphs close enough as X-Y Plots can set various intervals between x-axis values while Line Plots cannot change the x-axis intervals (but can change the y-axis interval.)
Here's a screen shot:

CR4E Chart Axis Label

I have a report developed with Crystal Reports XI Standard that includes a chart. The axis labels for the chart have been set (via Edit Axis Label) and appear correctly in preview mode of the Crystal Reports XI designer (e.g. "District" instead of "Sum of StateReportsView.District").
When this report is exported to a PDF file via a Java program (using Crystal Reports for Eclipse), the axis labels revert to their original values (e.g. appear as "Sum of StateReportsView.District").
Can the axis labels be set before exporting the report via the JRC API?
Or is there some way to save the axis labels to the report using the Crystal Reports XI designer?
Thank you...

Thanks so much for following up on this. To clarify, converting month numbers to names is nice, and I did that using the specified order suggestion, but it doesn't effect the order of say, May, when Jan thru Apr are missing, and in fact created other issues of data misintrepatation I didn't bother resolving at the time.
I suppose the best solution would be something that supplies a placeholder for blank months, so that the Jan-Dec order remains constast and the data graph bars appear in appropriate months, Jan-Apr no bars, May-Dec with data generated bars.
Does this help?

Does not display axis label in graph when exported to excel

I have a wierd issue.I have a report with graph with coloum chart and axis labels description on x axis.WHen i export the report to PDF everything looks OK.But when i export it to excel few axis labels disapper.Out of 12 labels only 2 apper when exported to excel.Has anyone encountered this issue.
If so is there a way to fix this.
PS: I am using BO XI 3.1 Webi.
Thank you,
Sanjeev

hi,
I have tried this out with a sample.
In WEBI preview mode and PDF, all axis labels will appear fine.
But when exported to excel, some labels will disappear.
Workaround: We have to increase the chart size in Excel till all axis labels appear clearly.

How to avoid repeatition of axis labels in Graphs in WebI 4.0??

Hello All,
I am working with graphs in WebI 4.0. In category axis, the labels are being repeated thrice ,twice and so on based on the filter which I have placed according to my requirement.. I need them to be displayed only once. I have used axis label delete factor from Format chart. But then it solved only partial problem. Appreciate your help.
Regards,
Anila.

plz
try this
create a one more vertical table
and check that location-text and location-key are some .
we think it would be like this
location-text     location-key
can                          01
cbg                          02
det                           03
txc                           04
txc                           05
bec of different key and some description the axis is getting repeating.

Graph X-Axis Labels are appearing in middle for negative y-axis values

Hi,
In my Graph Output, the X-Axis Labels are appearing in the middle (where zero is appearing) if the Y-Axis values are negative.
It's a Line-Graph.
Can anyone let me know how to move the X-Axis Labels to down?
I'm using a custom Function module same as 'GFW_PRES_SHOW_MULT' wherein I'm modifying the line colors and appearance. I have to edit in this Function Module to make the X-Axis Labels appear correctly (below) even when there are negative values.
Please let me know which Parameter of the Class CL_CU_AXIS I've to use.
Here's the piece of code:
CALL METHOD graphic_proxy-ref->add_cu_bundle
            EXPORTING
              port   = if_graphic_proxy=>co_port_chart_y_prim_axis
              bundle = bundle_axis
            IMPORTING
              retval = local_retval.

Hi Sowmya,
Im Lakshmi working as an ABAP Developer. I have seen your profile in SCN. I saw your postings about OLE charts.
I have a requirement to
1) Output data from an internal table into excel, and
2) Create a chart from the data in excel
So far I have been able to export the data using OLE calls, created a chart object,.
My question:
1. How to put Data Lables
2. How to put Data Table under the Chart
3. How to rename the series names.
Below is the recorded Macro. I don't know how to convert it to ABAP.
Sub Macro1()
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlColumnClustered
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Range("B1:E4")
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Name = "=Sheet2!$A$2"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2).Name = "=Sheet2!$A$3"
ActeChart.SeriesCollection(3).Name = "=Sheet2!$A$4"
ActiveChart.SetElement (msoElementDataLabelOutSideEnd)
ActiveChart.SetElement (msoElementDataTableWithLegendKeys)
End Sub
I have attached the current output and expected output.
I have searched about this in google but i could not find any solution for this.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lakshmi.

Rename cursor axis label for a XY Graph

Hello,
I am using Labview 8.2 and would like to relabel the axis of the cursor legend for a XY graph. Presently the cursor lengend contains X (for the X axis) and Y for the (Y axis). I would like to be able to rename the labels of the X and Y axis of the cursor lengend to give the user a more accurate description of the axis labels.
Regards,
Kaspar
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The changes that were made changed the names of the cursors, not the name of the X and Y axis. Think of it this way suppose that I have a X Y graph of Frequency (on the X axis) and Amplitude (on the Y axis). I create a cursor on the graph and move it around the waveform to examine the characterictics of the signal. When I move the cursor I would like the see the frequency and amplitude where the cursor is at on the signal. Right now the user has to remember (not to difficult) to figure out that the X axis is frequency and the Y axis is amplitude.
So I would like to be able to rename the header of the cursor location from X to Frequency and Y to Amplitude.

Kaspar

Graph axis labels

How do I change the graph y-axis to display the values 0 - 100% of my data?
I've have some 2D arrays each containing sets of data which I'd like to plot against a % label (not % of the data!). The data within each array are all the same length (because I have re-sampled the data within the array), but no 2 arrays are the same length. The first element represents 0% and the last 100%.
Thanks

Hi Graham,
- you can change the Y-axis label to whatever you like, "Amplitude [%]" would be possible...
- you can switch off autoscaling and set your own scale range from 0 to 100
Easy as it is.
Do you want something else? Could you show a small example?
