Line color/width/style picker as in graph legend

I am looking for a control similar to what is shown in the legend of a graph and which is used to set the line thickness, color and type. Does anybody know if this graph control is available as a sort of custom control so that I can use it in other parts of my code apart from the legend ?
Thanks in advance
Martien

Martien,
I understand your frustration and have requested (for years) that NI share (i.e add to palettes) these and many other controls.
The simplest part of your question to answer is for color selection, just use the Color Box control.
I have created several custom controls (picture rings) I use for setting other plot/cursor properties.
The images are transparent for flexibility in use, but you can color the control background if needed for visibility.
If they are useful, I work for Kudos!

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!

Adjust width of bar in bar graph

Hi,
I am trying to increase the width of bars in bar graph developed in 10g reports. I found your thread which says please find in my previous posting.
I could not find. can you please enlighten me on this question
You help will be truly appreciated.
Thank you,

If you are refering to bar plots, you have 3 bar styles (thin, wide but not connected, wide), accessible using the plot.barstyle property node, or directly witha right click on the legend.
Not sure that this is what you are looking for...

How to configure the outline color of a bar in a graph

I have a user who has a graph with many datapoints. He wants these to be bars, but with so many datapoints on the graph, the bar outlines are more prevalent than the set bar colors. I am unable to locate where the outline color of a bar in a graph is determined. I have reviewed available graph styles, but there are no graph style without borders. Also, I cannot find where I can create a custom graph style to see if I could create one without borders. I'm using 10.1.2.3. Does anyone know how I can remove the outlines?
Thanks,
Victoria

Any takers? This is still an issue.
Thanks,

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>

Line color in JTable

how can I change line color in JTable.

Then you need to do custom painting. Something like:
JTable table = new JTable(...)
     public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
          super.paintComponent(g);
          g.setColor( Color.RED );
          int y = getRowHeight(0) - 1;
          g.drawLine(0, y, getSize().width, y);
};

Can the single line's width add?

In my EDD,the following is the element's definition :
Element (Container): editItem
General rule:<TEXT>
Attribute list
Name: edit String Optional
Text format rules
In all contexts.
Text range.
Font properties
Underline: Single
I want to add the single line's width and modify the color.How can I deal with it?

The underline's color is always the same color as the text color. You cannot control the line thickness or baseline offset (but selecting Numeric instead of Single will result in a thinner, lower line).

Hi Danilo,
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.
Regards,
Well that is part of the story but the picture input tunnel should be changed to a SR if you wnat more than one plot.

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
use LabVIEW 7)?

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.

How do I change the line color in a chart in Numbers on my iPad?

How do I change the line color in a chart in Numbers on my iPad?

Whenever I try to shift+direct select it thinks I want to move the line, so as I shift + direct select and drag my mouse across the line (to highlight it all) it moves a chunk of the line and turns it into a near perpendicular line.
I found the appearance window, it just says "Path" (the color I want it to be that it's not)
"Stroke" 4pt
"Fill" (the color I want it to be that it's not)
"Opacity": Default
And some other buttons. I think I'll try the help line tomorrow, I know I saw a customer service number somewhere and I'm only here because the chat was unavailable. This is only one of my 3 problems with my assignment so I'll search here for answers to the other two. Learning new things is rarely fun.

Setting line color of JTree's

Hi,

3d painting issue - why is my selected value showing up different then the actual color I'm picking?

Love the CS5's 3d painting features but I'm running into a really frustrating issue:
When I select a value from the 3d object and try to paint with that value, it's showing up as a different value altogether (the image hopefully illustrates this much better than words).
Not sure if it's got something to do the the lights setup or something else but I cannot figure it out. Anyone else running into this or have a solution?
Thanks!!!

Ok, let me try to be explain the issue in more detail.
Note:
All 3D layer settings are default. No lights, ambient color setting, etc have been tweaked.
Description:
In order to paint out texture seams on a 3d character model, I have imported an .obj of the model into PS CS5 and applied a texture map to it which I have previously painted.
Using the eye dropper I have selected a color value from the sides of the seam and have attempted to paint that value over the seam to remove it.
Results:
The color value picked from a texture applied to a 3d model which is 161,161,173, is not the same color value when painted directly back onto the model. It has now mysteriously turned into 152,152,177.
Expected results:
When a color value is picked from a texture applied to a 3d model (161,161,173) and painted back onto the textured model it should remain exactly the same (161,161,173)
I hope lighting/shading is not figured in when color picking. That would make your results completely unpredictable. It could possibly be what is happening but is there a way turn this off or work around it?
Thanks for the help.
