Changing line color on XY plot

This should be something really simple. I simple created a property node, set the active plot, and set the plot.color. What happens to some plots is the points change to my specified color and other stays as my background plot color which is white. I cant seem to get the line color to change with the point color. There are ways I can change it at run time, by right click on the plot and going into properties and setting line color in that tab.
What am I doing that I cant get this to work at runtime?
I attached the plot, just ignore all the missing VIs you should be able to see the problem.

It works just fine here using LabVIEW 7.1. Could you do us a favor and make a mini demo, just containing the xy graph, some data for it, and the related property nodes to demonstrate your problem.
Overall comment on your VI:
Sorry, but I am absolutely horrified by your code. I cannot believe that you need all those property nodes, especially the signaling ones, they should be used very sparingly. (For example the FOR loops on top center and in the event called "clear all points" are just pumping hot air, repeating the same action and signaling (!!) every iteration.) It also just cannot be healthy if a single event calls tons of signaling properties, such as in the above mentioned event case. Then, in the timeout event, you are rewriting the plot la
bels and names every 10 ms. Do they really change that often???
Please let us help you in your overall program design. It will make a big difference in your future, more complex projects if certain common desing misconceptions are not propagated. I think entire sections of your program can be deleted without loss in functionality, the code can be stripped to <20% and the CPU usage can be reduce to <2% of the current situation. Just my wild guess.
The above is well meaning criticism, so don't take it personal. I am much harsher looking at my own early code from 8 years ago. :-) Good luck!

  • Changing Line Color

    I have Acrobat XI. I have drawn lines on a PDF. The default color is red. How do I change the color of the line?

    You should be able to select a line, right-click (control-click), and select Properties. It's a bit easier if you show the Properties toolbar first by pressing command+E

  • How can I change line colors in HTML reports?

    I have a VI that is creating an HTML report based on a table of results. I change the back ground color of the line based on failed results. However this line color change is not seen in the HTML reports. Can anyone give me a good way of basically transferring the properties of my table to the HTML report? Is it possible? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Greg - Thanks for the reply. I figured this out doing some more research. The line that I needed was "<BACKLOG="#PAYOFF">Your Cell Text</ID>. The problem I was having was that line is needed in front of the rest of the font formatting commands. For example here is my original line:
    <ID WIDTH="200"><BACKLOG="#PAYOFF"><FONT SIZE=+0 COLOR="#OFF">8.3.12.1</ID>
    The bold part in the line above is what I added. With the cell color added like this it actually created another cell and pushed existing ones one cell to the right. It then colored the second cell in the row and left the first one blank. Through looking up more examples I found that I was actually putting the cell color command in the middle of the font formatting command. So I tried putting it at the end and it then did nothing. The only way I could get the cell in the table to change and not change anything else was using the syntax below.
    <ID BACKLOG="#PAYOFF"><WIDTH="200"><FONT SIZE=+0 COLOR="#OFF">8.3.12.1</ID>

  • How to change line color in line graph

    Hi,
    I have one 'on change of' field and has  three 'show value' fields.
    Crystal has assigned default colors for  these 3 lines..but i want to assign my own colors..is this possible?
    and can we adjust the line thickness?
    I am using crystal 2008 complete edition.
    And i am using formulae for the 'show value' fields..so the legend is showing '@' sign..how to get rid if this?
    Aprreciate any info...
    Thanks,
    Preethi

    If you click on the lines themselves, it should highlight the specific line you clicked on.
    Once the line is highlighted, right-click on the line and you should be able to "format the connector line" properties by changing the thickness, colour and type of line.
    The same can be done for the titles of the chart, simply click on one of the titles, once it's highlighted you should be able to change the title names, font colour, font type etc.

  • Changes from Visio 2010 to 2013 - highlighting entire line drawing document with text fields and changing line colors

    I work with very large visio drawings that are basically line drawings (network drawings) with text boxes indicating equipment location. We work in future and current drawings, future has colored lines indicating connection type and objects have text in
    them that indicate if they are new by having red text. Current drawings have all black lines and black text.
    Here's my dilemma, previously I would Ctrl+A and then change all text and all lines to black in Visio 2010, everything would change no problem. In Visio 2013 every text box now get's a black border around it, I've tried selecting all text boxes at once
    and trying to remove the line but no luck.
    These drawings are HUGE and it takes me a good hour just to change between future and current where previously it took me seconds. I have many coworkers and we're all experiencing he same issue with the move to 2013.
    Is there a macro or some vb script I can utilize to select all text boxes and remove the black outline?
    Hope you can help!

    try this macro
    Sub Simple()
    Dim sh As Shape, counter As Integer
    ActiveWindow.SelectAll
    For counter = 1 To ActiveWindow.Selection.Count
    Set sh = ActiveWindow.Selection(counter)
    If Len(sh.Text) > 0 Then sh.Cells("Geometry1.Noline").FormulaU = "IF(LEN(SHAPETEXT(TheText))>0,1,0)"
    Next
    MsgBox "All text borders set invisible"
    End Sub
    if in your drawings you have only lines and text label (NOT rectangles, circles and other shapesconteined text for example) this macro can help !

  • How to let the user define the colors for each plots in the graph (I use LabVIEW 7)?

    How to let the user define the colors for each plots in the graph (I

    Hi,
    Take a look at this example, it uses property nodes to select tha
    active plot and then changes the color of that plot.
    If you want to make the number of plots dynamic you could use a for
    loop and an array of color boxes.
    I hope this helps.

    I think you can use color box contants in a case structure, each case sent one color constat, so you can select colors when you select a case on case structure.

  • Change the color of the outer line of a shape

    Hello I'm trying to create a rectangle with a red border and no inside fill. It's only to highlight some text of a bank form.
    I know i have to right click the layer and choose blending options and stroke. But I've tried to change the color so many times and no matter what I do, the outer line remains gray and with rounded corners.
    I want the corners of the rectangle to be squared, not rounded but I'm having a hard time changing this.
    Please help
    I'm using Photoshop CS3
    thank you
    Could anyone please show a picture of where to change the color of the outer line? I've tried everything.

    Hi,
    With Ps CS3, you'll probably want to define a Layer Style for a Stroke and then use that with the Square Shape Layers.
    This is a Stroke of 4 px, 'Centered' (so a very slight corner rounding on the outside edge. 'Inside' will give you square corners for both inside and outside edges). To change the color of the stroke, go to Layer> Layer Style> Stroke and change the color by clicking on the color bar.

  • How can I change the color of plot in a waveform chart and graph?

    There are 4 plots in a waveform chart, from plot0 to plot3, and I want to chang the color of plots dynamicly up to my needs when the VI is running.
    For example, as show in the picture, i want to set the plot0 as RED, and plot1 is BLUE, plot2 is YELLOW, plot3 is GRAY.
    If there is only one plot, i can change it's color, however when there are more than one plot, it fail.
    How can I do it?

    Hello MilkyStone,
    first you have to set the active plot, then change its color (or other properties). All that is done using property nodes.
