Scale Circle on XY Graph

I found a post from 2005, showing how to plot a circle on an xy-graph knowing the center and radius,
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=146782&query.id=2708998#M146782. My xy grid is rectangle and Altenback mentioned a solution when your grid is not square but I'm not able to follow. Any suggestions out there?
Thanks.

If the grid is not square, you need to decide if the circle should follow the actual grid or be round no matter what. You could simply scale the circle accordingly, but an easier way might be to sue the "plot images" overlay using picture commands. Open the example finder and look at the example named "Plot Area Images". See if it makes sense and ask again if you get stuck.

How to set minimum and maximum X scale in the XY graph if i have a X scale time format ?

Hi,
i choose in the picture enclosed, a time format for the X scale of the XY Graph.
The problem is that i am not able to set the minimum and maximum of the X scale: In fact the property nodes of the minimum and maxinum X scales ask for double as input.
But i need to set my minimum and maximum X scale to be a time (because I already set the X scale format to a time)
Could u help me please ?

please i have another problem:
i put the XY Graph in a while loop with maximum and minimum Xscale as property nodes inputs.
The problem is that when i make a zoom i can just see the zoom for a little while and then (because of the while loop) the Xscale is updated.
is there a method so that the Xscale be updated just when i change its value ?
or Could u tell me how could i zoom properly ?

INVERTING SCALE LABEL IN XY GRAPH

Hi All
Is there any way to inverse the direction of scale label in xy graph?
If we duplicate Y scale and swap side then the scale label appears in different orientation in the y2 scale (compared to y1)
If y1's label is voltage1 and is appeared frm bottom 2 top then the label of y2 say,voltage2 appears from top to bottom.I want the two scale labels to be identically oriented.Is there any way to do that?
Thanks in advance.

There is a very simple solution : create a free label (use the text tool) and place it over the scale label. A right click will let you choose the label orientation. That what I did on the attached front panel. Of course you'll choose the right back ground color !

Edit scales without resizing a graph

I'm using an intensity graph in order to show an image acquire by a camera. The size of the 2D array linked to the graph is related to the number of pixels of the image. But I do not want the scale to be in pixels but in µm, knowing that 1 pixel is 5.29*5.29 µm.
How can I change the scale of the intensity graph in order to show µm without changing the plot area?
Thank you.

zyl7,
the parameters you are looking for are properties from the graph itself. Therefore, you have to look around a bit in the property node from a graph... i am sure you will find out quite quick what i mean.
There are some examples provides with LV, but they are commonly focused on a special control; sadly i havent found one for intensity charts/graphs.... but this link can help you.
hope this helps,

Changing time scale for mixed signal graph

I want to change time scale for mixed signal graph 1 day or 5 day of realities?

And what exactly are you having problems with? If you want to use a property node, it's Xscale.Maximum.

Off scale data in a graph

Numbers documentation states that when plotting data that the Y axis must include every data point. This makes it impossible to plot a graph that has a small portion of irrelevant data that is off scale while the relative data is on scale. Does anyone know of a workaround for this other than munging the data set?

Hello
Assuming you are charting scholar notes, create an auxiliary table containing formulas like these ones:
in english it would be
=IF(Tableau 1 :: $A3<=20,Tableau 1 :: $A3;20)
or perhaps better:
=IF(Tableau 1 :: $A3<=20,Tableau 1 :: $A3;21)
With the late one, foolish values would be displaid as 21 so they would fit is a reasonable range.

Y scale flip in waveform graph when using property node.

I'm having problem with property node. I'm trying to build a stackable scope with Waveform Graph And dynamically change the number of plots. It is working. But The Y scale is flipping. The minimum goes on the upper part and the minimum scale goes down. when I change it appearance it's not very fast. It take about 1 or 2 second on my computer.
The way it is build actually is:
Cluster_1 is containing 8 clusters. And each of the 8 clusters are containing a Waveform Graph. By reference I change the property of each Waveform to make visible or not each of the Waveforms.
First I would like to solve the scale problem and second accelerate the redrawing of my scope.
Maybe there is an other way t
o do what I need.
Thanks.

Wow, you have a neat program! The problem with your y axis flipping is because the last four charts in the cluster were programmed with a flipped axis. I relabeled the charts and it worked correctly.
From what I could tell with your code, you do not need the sequence structures. The one inside of the even actually runs the same code twice. Remove this duplication and you should see improvement. Also clusters are slow, so you should not expect it to blink back with additional coding. Use defer panel updates to get that behavior. I incorporated these changes and attached the program.

How can I customize the scale of my waveform graph to suit my waveform?

I am trying to display a sinusoidal waveform on a waverform graph. I want to make sure that the graph displays only 5 cycles of the sine wave and thus changes the x-axis scale accordingly. Hence this would mean that me plot remains the same no matter what the frequency of sine wave I input, only the scale changes. How can I do this? Also once this is done, is there any way in which I can manually change the scale while labview is running to change to plot?

Here is an example that changes the scale of a graph. I think it is what you are looking for. Post back if it is not.

Can I use two different scales in the same graph on LabVIEW5.11

I found that this can be done in LabView6i but I'm using 5.11. Can I do that also?

ctbiu,
After playing around with LabVIEW 5.1.1, it appears that the addition of a second scale was a new feature introduced into the graph and chart controls in LabVIEW 6i. It does not look possible in LabVIEW 5.1.1. If you need this functionality, I would suggest upgrading to LabVIEW 6.1, the current version of LabVIEW.

How to reduce the scale size of HTML graphs

Hi All,
i created HTML Graphs in apex 4.0. Can any one tell how i decrease scall size of the graph beasue i saw the options there is min 200 scale size. How to reduce below 200 ?
Looking forward for the valueable response.
Regards,
Omzz

Have less photos? Really the question is a bit vague and there is no way to redice the size of the library. You can move a library to an external disk:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Fill circles on xy graph

Hello,
I have a VI that draws circles on a XY graph. These circles represent the position of a microscope objective. The dwell time of the objective is increased, and I would like to fill the circles with color intensity that is related to this increase (I am using LV 8.0).
Thanks in advance,
Gaby

draw circles loop.vi ‏28 KB

Your VI using something called Stuff:\LabView games\Control Program\Linspace.vi
When I load it into LV 8.6.1, it finds a different vi called "Linspace" deep in the VI lib, which does something completely different.
I suggest you rename your VI to not conflict with the system, and possibly include it here.
That having been said, an X-Y graph is perhaps not the best place for a filled-circle type of drawing.
I'm not sure when the feature was introduced, but there is now a PLOT IMAGES property for graphs, where you can insert a picture in front of, or behind the plot data.
Consider using a PICTURE control to plot the data and the circles.
If you must use only an X-Y graph, then you have to create a separate plot for the FILL part, consisting of concentric circles around the center point, and colored the way you want.

Several curves with several scales on the same graph

Hello,
I am currently working on a project which include a data acquisition VI. I would like to display two curves with two different scales (0 to 1 and 0 to 200) on the same graph.
I have been trying nearly all the options in the properties menu, I can not find anything that corresponds to what I want.
Do you know how to do such a thing?
Thanks in advance,
Gabriel.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Right click on the existing scale and click Duplicate Scale.
EDIT: I should add that you'll need to set ActYScl through a property node to switch between the difference scales if you want to run operations on them.

Customize multiple Y scales in one wave graph

Hi,
I am trying to show two channels in the same waveform graph but with seperate Y scales. And I want to customize the two Y scales independently using property nodes. But I found under the waveform graph property node there is only one Y scale.
Does anyone have the experience to customize them independently using property nodes?
Thanks,

Use the property "Active Y Scale" to select the scale you want to act upon.
Set Active Y scale to 0 (the first Y scale), then set all the properties as you wish for that 1st Y scalethen set Active Y scale to 1 (the second Y scale) and again set all the properties you wish for that 2nd Y scale.
Hope this helps

Programmatically changing the x scale range of xy graph

Hi,
from a subvi I need to access the x scale range of an xy-graph on the panel of the main vi. I tried the code shown in the pdf attached to my posting. How can I restrict the general property node for an unspecified control to a more specific property node that offers the property "x scale range"?
Thanks,
Peter

You can use "To More specific Class" from the application control palette.
Of course make sure to handle errors gracefully. This is just a draft

Multiple y-axis(with different scale) on a xy graph

i have an xy graph in which i have three y-axis with 1 x-axis. iam able to name each of the axis as well as set the x-scale min and max each.
finally iam able to see the three plots

maybe this pictures can help to see my problem.
note1 before taking the first picture i changed the range of one plot from right on the graph from -50000-50000 to 0-5000 as a result on pict#3 the black plot looks a bit bigger.
i would like to be able to see both plots the same size. (example the size of plot color black on the pic#1, or the size of plot color purple on the pic#3)
regards
