Programmatically display graph legend

I have a waveform graph to which I input a set of files using another subvi and the plot is shown in the mainvi where the waveform graph is placed.How to programmatically display the graph legend so that it shows all the plots that have been plotted. Manually this is done by resizing the legend.Is there a way to do that programmatically?Help please.

You could try use Property Node [right mouse button &: 'Create > Property
Node']. Waveform Graph has section for legend: right used LegPos and
LegPlots sould get you sattisfaction.

Excel Graph Legend Formatting - Report Generation Tool

Hi all,
I'm currently using the Report Generation Tool for Labview '11 and cannot seem to figure out how to edit the font properties for a graph's legend. Attached is a screenshot of an example output.
The Excel Graph Font.vi's Help file says that it should be able to modify the legend, yet I can't seem to figure out how to configure it to do so. If anyone can walk me through the steps or tell me what I am missing, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Solved!

Hello again,
It seems my team has decided to change direction and use Word instead of Excel. As such, I've been attempting to convert the VI ben64 provided, but I'm stuck on the ActiveX references... I've attached what I've done so far, but could someone help me (or instruct me) on making this VI work with Word?
Thanks.
The Word object model is probably the most complicated of the Office suite and you are loosing the calculation ability of Excel.

Graph Legend problem

Hi all.
I am using Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.0.1 and got some problems with graph legend. I have a Pie chart and a bar graph which are made from the same read only view object and I can´t understand why the legend on them don´t show the same things when they are made from the same view object. The pie has a status attribute choosen as slices and the bar graph has the same status attribute choosen as bars and it is these things I thought decide what names are shown in the legend. The values for the status are shown in the legend names but the pie shows the legend names in the same order as the query in the view object while the the bar graph show them in the opposite order. How can I make them show the legend names in the same order?

GRAPH LEGEND LABELS NEED TO BE USER MODIFIABLE

GRAPH LEGEND LABELS NEED TO BE USER MODIFIABLE FOR DYNAMIC PARAM INPUT CONTROL
I've been told on Metalink that my problem can not be resolved in Reports 9i or 10G but a Internal enhancement request 3071917 has been logged.
Is it possible to have some timescales on this limitation?

I'd suggest that the easiest approach would be to add a trigger to the table:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER trigger_name
BEFORE UPDATE OF comment_txt ON table_name
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
:new.last_updated_by := USER;
:new.last_update_date := SYSDATE;
END;This trigger will only fire when the COMMENT_TXT field is being updated and will set the LAST_UPDATE... values accordingly. The only downside to this approach would be if you want to store the OBI user and not the DB user. Effectively, you'd need to pass a parameter from OBI to the trigger to use instead of USER - bit more tricky...
Going back to your suggested approach, I don't think you need to worry about the RPD; the SQL that you define in the XML will bypass the RPD completely. In terms of what to use for the criteria for the report, you should be able to select the OBI user from a session variable and reference SYSDATE, SYSTIMESTAMP or the OBI equivalent to get what you need.

Illustrator Graph Legends change location on refresh

I have just upgraded from Illustrator 10 to Illustrator CS4. I have thousands of repeating graphs we use for production of newsletters, books, etc. With Illustrator 10, I would use the Group Selection tool to move a graph's legend and text to the position I wanted them, and they stayed put every time I edited the data. Now, after importing into CS4, I'm discovering that although the graph parts of the legend stay put (lines, squares of color for columns), my text for the legends moves with every refresh. This is a major problem for me, since we can't be moving these manually over and over every time I add data to a graph or make changes.
I knew the text is handled very differently between 10 and CS4, so I tested recreating some of my most used graphs from scratch in CS4 to see if this would solve the problem. It's actually worse; the text moves position far to the right or to the top, depending on whether Add Legend Across Top is selected or not. I never use legends in either of these spots, we always put them inside the graph, or outside on the bottom.
I think I must be missing something in now to update these graphs in CS4 to keep the legend text from jumping all over the place. Please tell me I'm missing something!

OK, no answers to my specific question as of yet. So can I just ask if those of you who use the Graph tool fairly frequently can answer this. Once you create a graph, do you move the legend? And if you do reposition the legend manually in a custom position (not top or left in the default position), and then update the data with changes, additions, etc., do the graph legends stick for you, or do they move?

How do I programmatically display jpeg files on the front panel

Hi,
I would like to be able to programmatically display various jpeg images on the front panel of a VI. I would mostly like to be able to display one image at a time and have the ability to programmatically change the image to different ones under program control. I found a picture indicator but not sure how to use if or if this is the best way. Thanks for any help.
Dave Adams

Yes, you can use a picture indicator.
The attached simple codelet shows how to display a jpeg image on it (Make sure the image indicator is big enough).
Let us know if you need help with the rest of the coding.

Graph Legend text size

Hello,
i cant find an attribute to set the text size of the graph legend.
There are som Plot Attributes to set the font and font length but no Attribute for the size?
How can i set the size of the grapg legend?
Thanks
Norbert Rieper

You can use a metafont that you create yourself, and thus use a custom size. For example:
CreateMetaFont ("my font", VAL_DIALOG_META_FONT, newSize, 0, 0, 0, 0);
SetPlotAttribute (panel, PANEL_GRAPH, plotId, ATTR_PLOT_LG_FONT, "my font");

Function modules to display graph in a container

Hi,
   Can anyone suggest me is there any other function module to display graph in a container other than "GFW_PRES_SHOW_MULT" why because when I am displaying the graph using that function module I am getting boxes in the graph display which is not needed so please send me other function module or tell me whether there is any way to remove the boxes in the graph at the time of display by using the same function module given above.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
To add a graphics functionality to ALV Grid;
1. Add a user button on the ALV Grid control, utilizing "toolbar" event and "set_toolbar_interactive" methods of the class "cl_gui_alv_grid".
2. As the function of this button, your routine should use GFW objects or "GRAPH_MATRIX..." function modules to display your graph. You implement your routine at the event "user_command".
Additionaly, you can have a look at this

How to programmatically change plot legend

I have a chart on which I'll plot one or more signals. I can't predict
the signal names in advance so I'd like to programmatically change the
legend(s). Is there a way to do that in LV 6.1?
Thanks,
Dave

Yes.
- Create a property node for the chart
- add elements for "Active Plot" and "Plot -> Plot Name"
- Wire an index of the plot name you want to change to "ActPlot"
- Wire an string with the new name to "Plot.Name"
A simple implementation would be to make an array of new names and then auto-index a for loop with the increment counter tied to "ActPlot".
Good luck.

Scheme for Displaying Graphs in Host.VI using SIT?

I am wondering how others tackle the problem of displaying graphs and other indicators mapped from the the .dll running in RT to indicators on the Host.VI when you cannot edit anything in the "green" area on the host that is autogenerated with SIT Connection Manager.
My problem is that if I have 15 graphs and 50 indicators (just a guess right now, but I would think this wouldn't be uncommon for other users) I cannot display them all on the Host.VI at once besides filling a gigantic area that I have to scroll through. A better approach would be to use queus or variables to pass between other .VIs to categorize different pages of graphs that the Host.VI can call, but I cannot edit anything in this mysterious green area so I cannot save the data to any kind of structure.
Ideas? I am still new to LabVIEW so there may be an SIT trick that is obvious that I don't know about.
Thanks!

Hi gdubb85,
As far as the "green" uneditable area is concerned, there is actually nothing that restricts you from editing or modifying the code in those areas. The reason they are different from the rest of the code is that that area will be rescripted (i.e. overwritten) if you change anything in the SIT Connection Manager. So, you can edit those areas if you wish, but just be aware that if you use the SIT Connection Manager again after editing those areas, it will be overwritten.
As far as displaying your 15 graphs and 50 indicators in an organized fashion, you can accomplish this by using a Tab Control. For more information on this, please check out this link.
I hope this is helpful.

Bug in Graph Legend Height Property

Hi All,
I am trying to set the height of the graph legend via property node and it seems it is not setting it to the input value. I set the value of the height and read it back and they do not match.
Is it a bug in the property node?
I have attached the vi to this post. Pls take a look at it.
Thanks,
Ritesh

I don't think it would be a bug. The legend height probably needs to be some multiple based on the font size of the legend.
