How to alter XY graph label according to property node?

I have tried to alter the XY graph label (title) programmatically by making a property node of the XY graph and going to label/text. Then I created a constant to rename the graph, ran the VI but it refused to rename the graph. I have consulted the manual and have searched the forums trying to find an answer. All of the other properties seem alterable, the font of the title, color, etc. but it will not rename the title with the text. Does it have something to do with the owned labels and free labels? If so, is there a way to get around this so I can enter the title through a property node? I am using version 6.1 and would appreciate any help that can be provided. My complements to the forum surfers who ans
wer labview questions, most are extremely useful and have accelerated my labview learning greatly.
Thanks,
CYung

The help for label>>text property, states that it is not available when the VI is running.
If the text string is a free label or a caption, this property is settable when the VI is running and is available in the run-time engine. However, if this text string is an owned label, this property is not settable when the VI is running and is not available in the run-time engine.
Attached is an example how to chnage the title/caption of the graph.

How to override pie graph label

Hi,
I have a dvt pie graph component on my page. I want to programatically set my pie graph label in a java bean.
For example, in my pie graph, there are 2 values, paid and unpaid. In my bean, I programatically format my paid amount, and I want to set the paid label to be "Paid (<formatted amount paid>)". I want to do the same for Unpaid.
How to I access and set the label for Paid and Unpaid series in my code? I could not use EL expression to do that as the label field of the <item> component of the graph do not understand EL expression.
Thank you for your time.
Any input is much appreciated.

Hi,
How are you passing data to the graph? Are you trying to format the labels shown next to each slice of the pie, or the tooltips (shown when you mouse over the slice)?
You can use the dvt:sliceLabel tag to format your pie labels.
For example:
<dvt:sliceLabel textType="LD_TEXT">
<dvt:numberFormat decimalDigit="0"/>
</dvt:sliceLabel>
This will show text in the pie labels, and format the numbers displayed in the tooltip to have no decimal places.
Valid values for text type are:
LD_TEXT, LD_VALUE, LD_PERCENT, and LD_TEXT_PERCENT.
Hope this helps

How to add context help text to a property node of an XControl?

Hi
anyone knows how to add description for a property node of an XControl which should appear in the context help window of LV?
In case of a method, the description of the method VI appears on the context help. But not for property node
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Vsh,
You can set the property context help by right-clicking the xcontrol in your Project Explorer, selecting Properties, selecting the "Item Settings" category and clicking on the Property that you wish to write context help for. You will see a box titled "Description" on the right; this is where the context help is defined.
Let me know if you have trouble finding this.

How to change value of constant for "Disabled" Property Node?

Hello all,
I'm attaching a vi example of what I'm wanting to do. It is happening during the event for "Left Selectorrogrammed 1: Value change.
Basically I've created a property node for a LED boolean control. After it is clicked, I am wanting to disable it so the user cannot change the value (I have a reset all button for use on that).
I've created the property node for this control for Disabled. When I am in the block diagram, I change it to write mode.
I've rt clicked on it, and said "create constant", which it does. However, the constant comes up every time as "Enabled". I've tried clicking all over this constant, and looking through all the properties, but I cannot figure out how to toggle through the values or set the value of this constant from "Enabled" to "Disabled".
I see where you can edit the items of this constant...but I'm guessing there is some way to toggle this constant to the value you wish....any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
cayenne

To change a constant value your cursor needs to be in the "finger" mode.
You can select this by holding down shift and right-clicking on the diagram - then select the finger.
Another way is to set Automatic Tool selection:
Tools >> Options >> Environment >> Lock automatic tool selection
With this option, LabVIEW will choose the tools for you.
Play with it a bit to see how it works.

hmm, it is more complicated as I thought )
edit: just to be CLEAR: so you want to create a new selection LIST for each of the array elements (comboboxes)) OR you just want to set all the comboboxes to a particular value which is ALREADY in the combobox list??

Why the 3D graph control shortcut menu is disabled?And how to set 3D graph to default view when running?

1).Controls have shortcut menu,but the 3d graph's shortcut menu cannt be able. why? how to make it able?
2).3D graph can be rotated free by dragging, and when it is not running,right click ,select default view, the graph go back to initial view. But when the VI run, the shortmenu is disabled, how to make it to defaul tview. the property node and method seem have none about default view

The 3D Graph control is actually an ActiveX control (in Windows), so it's not a "standard" LabVIEW control with the "standard" run-time popup menu. Consequently, to access most of the properties and actions you actually have to use the Property Node and Invoke Node functions in the Application Control palette:

Xy Graph property node:apply to all plots

I have an xy graph with multiple plots and am using property nodes to give each plot a different color. My problem is that i would like to set the "point style" for every plot to be the same, in other words: create a default point style that differs from the XY graph default.

Don't forget Kudos for Good Answers, and Mark a solution if your problem is solved.

You can do this statically on the "Plots" tab of the graph properties dialog box. You can also get a property node to alter this dynamically by right-clicking on the graph and selecting Create >> Property Node >> Plot >> Point Style.

Numbers '09 : How do I split a label in a graph

How do I split a label in a graph into 2 lines of text. Right now, in the inspector, Axis tab, Category Axis Y, the label is "Asset Value" and shows on 1 line, I want it on 2 lines but there is nothing I can do.
Is there some sort of code within the label that I have to put?
Thanks!

Is this what you want ?
If it's that, just insert a line break in the header thru option + return.

Automatic Cursor Movement in one Graph, in accordance to the cursor in another graph

I am using two XY graphs each with 4 cursors. I want to assign each cursor of graph A to each cursor of graph B such that the corresponding cursors in graph B moves in accordance to the cursors in graph A.
I have used Active cursor, Cursor.PosX and it works for one cursor. However when I use the same concept to change the active cursor value and faciliate the automatic movement for all cursors they do not work.

Hi,
As requested I would like to post the solution as to how I tacked the problem. It was actually small mistake on my part. When I connect the two property nodes for each XY graphs I should connect ActiveCursor to ActiveCursor and Cursor.PosX to Cursor.PosX. What I did was connect the Active cursor of A graph to the cursor.index of B graph. I have attached a small screen shot of connecting the first cursor of A graph to the 1st cursor of B graph so that the cursor in B graph follows the cursor in A graph.
In order to connect more cursors as in my case, the only change to be made is the change in the Acitve cursor constant to, 1,2,......

Translating graph labels to different locale

Hello to all you Gurus.
We are in the process of localizing rtf BIP reports using different xlf files. After being successful translating everything (text, table headings etc), we've noticed that we were unable to translate graph labels. Those labels have been entered in the graph label dialog of the MS Word plug-in.
Any ideas how to resolve the above mentioned issue will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Struggled with this my self a few weeks ago. Unfortunatly chart labels and titles aren't exported within the XLF file.
You may solve this issue by adding the titles and labels within you XML dataset. In other words: create a view or table which contains these values and results in something like this:
<CHART_LABELS>
<CHART1_TITLE>Grafiek 1</TITLE>
<CHART1_ROWLABEL>Eerste rijlabel</CHART1_ROWLABEL>
<CHART2_TITLE>Grafiek 2</CHART2_TITLE>
<CHART2_ROWLABEL1>Eerste rijlabel</CHART2_ROWLABEL1>
<CHART2_ROWLABEL2>Tweede rijlabel</CHART2_ROWLABEL2>
</CHART_LABELS>
Within you graph xml select titles like this:
<Title text="{//CHART_LABELS/CHART1_TITLE}" visible="true" horizontalAlignment="LEFT" />
Row labels like this:
<Label><xsl:value-of select="//CHART_LABELS/CHART1_ROWLABEL"/></Label>
Don't forget to add a language code or something like that. This should do the trick :).
Kind regards,
Machiel

How can I print address labels from numbers spread sheet

How can I print address labels from numbers spread sheet

CAB,
The 5163 template has the following dimensional specs:
Dimensions & Info
Length: 4.00000"          Height: 2.00000"
Top Margin: 0.50000"          Bottom Margin: 0.50000"
Left Margin: 0.18000"          Right Margin: 0.18000"
Hor. Spacing (gutter): 0.14000"          Vert. Spacing (gutter): 0.00000"
Intended Use: Mailing Labels, Shipping Labels, Address Labels
There's a great vendor site with this data readily available, better than the Avery site in my opinion. But, you can get the same info in the Contacts Print dialog pane.
You can grab a template matching these dimensions from that vendor site, Copy the table after opening the Word Template in Pages and drop the into a blank Numbers Sheet.
I found that Sheet side margins of 0.15" worked better than 0.18. For some reason the table wanted to flow to the next page to the right with 0.18". Turning off the Headers and Footers and setting Top and Bottom Margins to 0.5" worked well. These adjustments are made in the Sheets Inspector.
So, that will put the template you specified into a Numbers document and you can print labels properly aligned from there. Since your problem statement is a bit lacking in detail, that's all I can offer you at this point.

Label Printing Using Address Book - How can I Print multiple labels of the same name?

Label Printing Using Address Book - How can I Print multiple labels of the same name?

I used to be able to print multiple copies of the same picture on one page using iphoto. There was a customise button when you went through to print and it was there somewhere. I can't see it anymore - maybe since an upgrade.
It's gone. But as a work-around, duplicate your photo (⌘D) to create as many versions as you want copies and select all at once. Then use the "Custom" print layout and set the photo size you want.
After printing, trash the added versions.

How to get bar graph in word in labwindow/CVI ?

how to get bar graph in word in labwindow/CVI ?

ashwinic9,
spawning your question over more and more threads (the present one, this one and this other one) won't give you a faster answer; instead, it will irritate forum users!
Especially if you have at your disposal a fast way to perform a test. I pointed you some days ago to word report example, that writes a table to a word document: did you tried changing the graph into a bar graph and generating the report? I have done it for you and the result is OK, as you can see in the attached document.
Now, since the example works well, there must be something in your particular situation that prevents the graph to be shown; that is: you must add some more data on your actual problem and maybe a small example that exposes the problem.
But please: keep active only this discussion and let the other threads die!

How can I change the label of iCloud mail in Mail?

I have an iPhone, where the iCloud account in mail is shown as "Name @ iCloud". I've just been setting up a new iPad Air 2 and there in Mail the label shows just as "iCloud". How can I change that label? I've been digging around but haven't found a way.

Most of us just use names for the folders which seems to work fine unless you're not alphabetically inclined.
It really doesn't make much difference who else may want a feature like that, it still isn't going to magically appear. If you wish to submit it as a feature request you can do so here: Feedback.
There aqre third-party programs that may provide a similar function although not colors: DockStar and Mail Badger.
