Changing y-axis in chart stack plot

I am using LABVIEW 5.0.1f1:
I plot 8 values in a chart as stack plot by bundeling the values. During
running programm I want to change the y-axis of the 5th value (changing maximum).
But if a use attribute node of this char and select "active plot"=5 and "y
maximum"=40 only the 1st plot window of this stack is changing its y-axis.
How can I modify the 5th plot window?

I have the same problem, did you find a solution?

    STACKED PLOT Y-AXIS
    I have a stacked waveform chart showing four plots
    Each plot correctly appears on a different sub-plot
    I can use the set active plot property to loop through the four plots and change their names, visibility etc.
    I can also read which is their active y scale index which corresponds to the plot index (i.e.both 0-3)
    BUT
    When I try and change a y scale property (e.g. label>text) it only ever changes the top sub plot label
    I have tried forcing the active Y-scale index also to no avail.
    I have also tried an overlay plot with 4 different y-axis and have the same problem.
    HOW DO I SET TEH INDIVIDUAL Y-SCALE PROPERTIES ON A STACKED PLOT?

    I made 2 small modifications to your VI, take a look at the attached.
    First you needed to set the active Y scale rather then setting the index. But more importantly the property node you are using to set the values is linked to the wrong graph.
    Let me know if the attached does what you where looking for.

  • Change properties in stack plots

    hello
    I'm using a waveform chart in my VI (labview 6.1).I need to display three graphs with diffrent y-scales.
    So I chose Stackplots. The result is one chart with three diffrent output windows. So far so good - but now I need to change the properties of the graphs individually. Primarily I'd like to change the way the displayed points are interpolated.
    I've searched for the place where to make this changes but all I found was a way to adjust the first output chart. All other output windows of the stack plot remain with the standard looking. maybe a quite stupid question ...
    thanks in advance for any help
    Simon

    You need to use/set the "Active Plot" property as per the attached.

  • Change properties inside dynamic stack plots

    Is there any way in LabView 8.2 now to change the properties of indicators inside an array or cluster?  I want to change the properties of the waveforms inside DynamicStackPlots (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3024).  I see on this forum back in 2005 this was last discussed.  I have also tried making a cluster of waveforms (instead of an array of clusters) from which you can at least separately access properties (allowing you to make specific waveforms not visible, yielding dynamic stack plot functionality).  But you STILL cannot modify, say, the plot min range, label, scale... etc.
    All ideas welcome!
    Thanks,
    Adam

    Hi, Adam.
    This question seems to pop up every once in a while. The answers are different for arrays and clusters:
    Clusters
    You can access the properties using an explicitly-linked property node (IE, one that takes a control reference as an input). You can obtain a reference to the controls in one of two ways:
      - Right-click on the control (inside the cluster) and select Create»Reference.
      - Create a property node for the cluster and access the Controls[ ] property. This will give you an array of references to the controls inside the cluster, and you can pass that into the explicitly-linked property node. (You may have to use a To More Specific Class VI if you want to access properties that apply to only graphs.)
    Arrays
    Since arrays are for holding a large quantity of indentical data types, the properties for all elements of the array must be the same. If you really want to sidestep this functionality, however, you can always create an array of references to controls. If you wanted to do that, you'd have to create all your controls individually and then create references for them one by one. Once the references are created you can pass them into a Build Array VI. To alter the properties of any particular control, you'd use an explicitly-linked property node and pass in the appropriate reference.
    Let me know if any part of this isn't clear. Have a nice evening!

  • Dynamically stacked plots of chart

    In LV 2009 it is still not possible to set the number of stacked plots of a chart programmatically. Is there any useable workaround?
    Before I start measurement I know how many channels I will acquire – between 1-16.
    Before the measurement starts I want the chart to display as many plots as I have charts
    I am building exe in the end (in linked thread is proposed some workaround that doesn't work in executables)
    My only suggestion so far is to use 16 stacked plots and play with their height and position to hide and show them = not very friendly. Thanks for any suggestion

    If you somehow manage to execute the program with "overlayed" plot selected (with the number of stacked plots wired to the property node )and then switch back o "stack plots" progrmatically i think you can solve this...

  • Hiding/removing x and y axis in charts (11g)

    Is it possible to hide both the x and y axis lines (not the plot area major/minor gridlines)? For example, I have a stacked bar chart and only want to show the bar and hide the x/y axis and the grid lines. I am able to hide the gridlines by toggling the to 'specify' in the Plot Area and not changing the associated options however, I am unable to hide the graph x/y axis.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi Steve,
    To my knowledge, there is no direct method to hide the axis.You could try adding a background color (that matches your axis line color )to your graph(Graph Properties->Style tab) which in turn would hide the x and y axis lines.

  • Line chart to plot count of 2 date fields against calendar month

    Post Author: springle
    CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
    I would like to create a line chart with 2 lines.  I would like the x axis to be a calendar month.  I would like the y axis to be the count of a date field for that month.  I would like 2 lines, one the the count of applications recieved in a month and the other to be the number of shipments in a month.  I can make a chart to plot one or the other but not both on one chart.So in summary I want of a count of date1 and a count of date2 by calendar month in one line chart.Thanks in advance,Scott

    CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
    Thanks for the reply but I am afraid this does not solve my problem.  Your proposal make the month count of Date1 records in the fields and the count of Date2 in the month of date1 I am try to graph...In the month of Jan: 56 apps and 49 deliveriesIn the month of Feb: 76 apps and 79 deliveriesIn the month of Feb: 86 apps and 69 deliveriesThe change on date cannot be either app date or del date.  It needs to be independent from a calendar timeline.

  • How do you create stacked plots?

    Okay, I have tried for quite some time today to create a stacked plot, but without any success.  I want to be able to put in a max and min range for the x-axis on the front panel.  This x-axis will be used for three different y-axis.  Each y-axis will have a different scale than the other ones.  Also, each y-axis will have up to 6 different plots.  I have attached an example of what I hope the final chart/graph/plot will look like.  I have tried combining the x-axis values with the different y-axis values in an array (2D) and then plotting them but nothing seems to work right.

    Never had much success getting what I consider "publication quality" graphs out of LV, but that is not what it was built for.  It has a great looking GUI and the flexibility to get your data into a program to suit your needs.  Doesn't mean that there aren't some features we'd like to see added, especially when it comes to axes and labelling.  My advice to you is the following:
    1. take a deep breath and decide if this is something you really want to do.
    2.  perhaps try an in-between solution like stripping down the plots and stacking three XY graphs on top of each other.  You can programatically control the scales.  You won't have overlap of the plots like you show, and all of the labels will be on the left.
    3.  Try a standard XY graph and fudge the labels using Ben's very elegant trick. Ben is the go-to-guy (IMO) for picture control questions
    4.  Explore the Picture VIs to generate plots piece-by-piece.  You are in for a lot of work, but it is the only LV-only solution I know to get the results you are looking for.  (Perhaps there are new and exciting features in LV2009 that someone will enlighten us with).
    5.  Do what I do.  I use a MathLink connection to Mathematica when I need plots that I can't get easily in LV.  You can retrieve the graphics object and display it in a container or a picture control.  I use a picture control because the container seems to unload the image when I stop the VI.  If you don't have Mathematica, or similar program, sorry.

    Ok sorry I didnt explain well whats the point.
    There is no problem with properly "refreshing"  of subplot - works fine even without static reference(but thanks anyway, I missed that).
    I cannot changed the number of staked plots in the screen(constanly 1) - in editor mode it changes according as number of flaged plots.
    The problem is show in the pictures below.

  • Dynamically resizing stacked plots depending on visibility of scale

    Hi,
    is there a way to change plot width in a chart with stacked plots, depending on visibility of scales and number of digits of scales _and_ without resizing width of the chart when all scales are invisible?
    The problem: when all scales are invisible and the number of digits increases, the chart's width decreases and the scales move a little to the left.
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Cheers,
    Martin

    Hello Martin,
    Could you please attach some sample code of your question. Also, if would be really helpful if you could document the front panel of the code with what to do in order to see the problem you are seeing with the chart's width decreasing.
    Thanks.

  • Stacked plots

    Is there a way to have a stacked "Waveform Chart" with 8 stacked charts but display 16 plots, 2 on each chart?

    Ok I found a way to do this.  It is not exactly straight forward but the attached VI and control show what you want.  The secret is in customizing the graph and using the "Y Scale Index" property.
    Follow these steps and you should be golden.
    1. Create your stacked plot with the 16 plots.  So you will have 16 tiny little plot areas... no worries.
    2.  Take a look at the attached code and see how you can select the active plot and then the Y Scale Index associated.
        You at the moment have 16 plots and 16 Y scales.  Simple change the Y scale index of the last 8 plots to be 0-7. 
    3. Try that and notice you now 16 plot areas 8 plots with 2 plots on it, and then 8 that are empty.
    4. The last thing is to get rid of the 8 "blanks".
    5. Select the last 8 plots and make their Y scales not visible.
    6. Finally right click on the chart and select customize.
    7. Select window>> Show Parts Window.  In that new window you can find the last 8 plots, and set their hieght to 1, and change their location.  I suggest moving them under the top plot. 
    8. At this point you have a lot of free space.  Select one of the remaining plots and increase its height to what looks good for just one plot area.  Then select the 8 that you want to show and you can use the "Resize Objects" ring in the tool bar to make them all the same size.  Move them to where you want and bingo.
    9.  You should now have 8 visible plots, and 8 that are hidden.  Save the control and replace the one on your Front Panel.
    You should be done.  Let me know if or where you get lost because I know this is kinda strange.

    Start with chart that looks like a column + line chart with a left & right Y axis. It should be the one on the bottom left. After plotting your two series, go to the chart inspector, series tab, and change the second series from line to column. Go to the Axis tab and choose to show the titles for the Y1 and Y2 axes.

    Hello,
    I don't have LV 7 installed so I can't post the VI sorry.. here's the short answer to your question, you have to use property and method nodes from the ActiveX palette (see screen shot), item 0 is scale X, item 1 is scale Y and item 2 is scale Z.
    More generally there are loads of threads dedicated to 3D graph issues, just do a forum search .
    Hope this helps

  • "Fill base line"/"Fill to" problem within stack plots

    Hi there,
    I try to plot multi data sets within the stack plots waveform chart. But I can't control the Fill To option correctly for the plots other than the first plot in the window. As attached, even I set the fill baseline to zero for the second plot (the green one) in the first window, it performs like fill to -infinity. I am using Labview 2010 DS2.
    Any solution? Or, I made any mistake here?
    Thanks.

    Stack Plot Fill Baseline.vi ‏12 KB

    I agree things behave a bit weird if the number of traces is not a multiple of the number of stacked plots. Do you want three stacked plots or have two traces share one of the plots? Maybe you should use more defined data structures, e.g. an array where each element is a clusters of size=3.
    Try the following:
    resize the plot legend so 4 stacked plots show.
    Now resize it again for two stacked plots.
    In my case, the fill to zero is now correct.
