Strange line in graph plot

Howdy all!
I'm doing a simple temperature/time graph using LabView 8.5.  The results look good except for an odd diagonal line that connects from somewhere on the x-axis to the latest point placed on the graph.  As the graph adds new points of data, this line moves along with the new data.  I've included a picture of the graph.  Anyone have any idea what's causing this?

It's a hectic day today, so I haven't had a chance to do the code changes you requested.  M'bad.
But I will give you this info - it's a simple serial communication with an external device that replies with temperature readings.  Roughly every ten seconds I interrogate the device for a temperature reading, which is read into the "Temp array".  I'm including another snapshot (a jpg!) of my latest run, and here are the values in the arrays:
array   time        temp
0         4.0          80
1         13.12      80
2         22.26      79
3         33.29      79
4         42.42      80
5         51.54      84
6         62.57      86
7         71.70      85
8         82.73      84
I stopped the run at this point.  All array values are zero from here out.
And I LIKE LOCAL VARIABLES!!  There!  I said it!  And I'm not ashamed!!

    I am using a table in Numbers to plot daily graph lines. Mood swings of how I am on the day, i"m a depressive.
    If I fill a cell with a step box at say zero it plots the graph. I can't actually set the cell value until the actual day but the graph plots it at zero when I don't want it to plot anything. Is there a work around. so thatbgraph only plots on the day?

    The answer is (sort of) in your subject, but edited out of the problem statement in the body of your message.
    When you use a stepper or a slider, the value in the cell is always numeric, and is always placed on the chart if that cell is included in the range graphed by the chart.
    But if you use a pop-up menu cell, you can specify numeric or text values in the list of choices for in the menu. Numeric values will be shown on the chart. Text values will not.
    For the example, the values list for the pop-up menu was:
    5
    3
    1
    Choose
    -1
    -3
    -5
    The first pop-up was set to display Choose, then the cell was filled down the rest of the column. Any text value (including a single space, if you want the cell to appear blank) may be used instead of Choose.
    For charts with negative Y values, the X axis will not automatically appear at Y=0. If your value set will include negative values, I would suggest setting the Y axis maximum and minimum to the maximum and minimum values on your menu list, rather than letting Numbers decide what range to include on the chart. Place a line shape across the chart at the zero level, and choose to NOT show the X axis.

  • Multiplot waveform graph plots are different colors when set to be the same with a property node.

    The graphs were working yesterday. I made a few changes to another part of the block diagram and now the graphs do not plot all of the plots the same color. I am using a for loop with a property node with the elements active plot connected to the iteration terminal, and plot color to a color box. My for loop increments programmaticaly from another part of the code to create plots as it runs. I have replaced the graphs with new ones and they will work sometimes.
    I am using Win2k and LV 7.1
    Thanks,
    Brett

    Hi bh3560,
    Have you tried chaging the color by right clicking on the line in the plot legend.  There is an option to change the color of the plot.

  • How to create static line in line bar graph in obiee 11g?

    Hello,
    I have requirement where user wants to see a line in bar graph.
    Now the line is just static line, we dont have data field available to draw the line in graph.
    is there a way to create a static line in chart and show it in Line bar ombo graph??
    Thanks in advance..

    e.g. i created the static line '10' in fx and now using this column as line in line bar report , but its not displaying the line at measure of '10' in chart.
    Drag the column to measures section of graph (Line - Vertical Axis) to change this static value create an edit box prompt and pass the value to the column using Presentation Variable (as said by Fernando)
    Thanks,

  • ALV Graphs: How to set line type graph as default graph

    Hi All,
    I need to develop a line graph. The fields on the X-axis will change dynamically. Some times they may be 10 field and some times they may be more than 100 fields. I tried with Function Module GFW_PRES_SHOW_MULT. But I can only display maximum 32 fields. Can anyone tell me exact program which helps me to full fill my requirement. It will be a great help if you could told how do display line type graph as default graph in ALV.  In REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY there is a Exporting parameter MT_CHART_TYPES but this help you only to enter description for X-axis and Y-axis.
    Many thanks in advance.

    I would call GRAPH_MATRIX_2D with options depending on representation you wish
    look at the program GRBUSG_1 to see how to use it
    there you have some options to display bar chart, but you could use other values (complete list of options is available in documentation of function module GRAPH_MATRIX_2D - click on parameter OPTS in help display to see full explanation)
    exemple:
    P2TYPE = LN to display lines

  • Sporadic strange lines in my screen

    It happens sometimes that strange lines appear in my screen for some miliseconds XD. It's a short time but it finishes being unconfortable.
    I'm using xorg with xf86-video-intel, i've got direct rendering and i'm using the gnome desktop. Any idea?

    i have the same problem. about a day after i got my ipod little lines appeared on the screen, when i have my ipod on it looks like i have little lines of water on the screen so it makes the pixles look messed up. i guess they must be sratches but i dont want a big protective case for my ipod. any suggestions?

  • OBIEE 11g - Line-Bar Graph problem

    Hi,
    I am trying to build a Line-Bar graph where the line represents target. My data is as follows:
    Dim1 Dim2 Fact Target
    A Z 10 2
    A Y 5 2
    B X 6 3
    B W 7 3
    Please note that, the target is same across same Dim1. Like A has same target, B has same target.
    Now if I create a stack chart with stack based on Dim2 (Dim2 is in the Vary by Colour), then I get mutiple line for target with the same value for each Dim1.
    I am not sure if I could explain it clearly.
    I want to show one line for the target since its same for Dim1. How can I do that?
    Please help.
    My chart config is as follows:
    Group By (Dim1)
    Vary Coulor by (Dim2)
    Bars (Fact)
    Lines (Target)

    Not yet, and I've been too busy with some SEV 1 issues to goof around with it. I also need to open a ticket about default pivot table formatting - i.e. removing the background colors under the non-data areas, and they also seem to have some sort of gradient fill at the bottom. I'll let you know if I hear anything.
    Thx,
    Scott

  • Strange lines appearing behind itunes

    I went away for the holidays, and when I got back I booted up my 2006 iMac. Today for the first time, there are strange lines appearing behind iTunes whenever it is open but not the active window. I tried quitting and restarting iTunes, but the lines come back. I wish I could upload a screen shot of what this looks like on my desktop, it's very weird. It does not happen behind any other program window. Only iTunes. The lines appear as if they are extensions of the iTunes window formatting, in line with the side bars, etc. Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips for getting it to quit?

    I just wanted to add that I am also seeing the same problem: strange lines around the borders of the iTunes window. The most obvious ones are a set of four vertical lines running parallel to both sides of the iTunes window, although there are other strange bits as well, mostly around the top corners of the window, as well as a single thin horizontal line above the top of the iTunes window. These unusual lines started appearing "out of the blue" sometime in the past few weeks -- as in, not right after an update or any other configuration change to my mac... The only change I can say I did recently was to update to OS 10.6.6, although I know others who are running 10.6.6 and aren't having this issue with iTunes. I also wanted to add that in my case, I only see these strange lines when iTunes is the active window. Further to that, updating to iTunes 10.1.2 does not fix the problem, unfortunately.

  • 3D graph plot properties - cannot be changed

    Hi all,
    I still cannot change the plot properties of the 3D graph.  I open the Plot Properties tab up and it gets stuck on the first page.
    This means that I cannot release any VIs which use the 3D graph - a big problem.
    Has anyone else experience this?  What do you suggest to fix it.
    Thanks,
    Battler.

    I have experienced exactly the same behavior (can not change 3D graph plot properties) with 3D plots (scatter and surface) in LabVIEW 2011.  The 3D plot properties page works correctly at first but then fails to switch pages after larger data sets have been loaded to the graph.  For example, my scatter graph contains 13 plots, each with 320 points of data.  Once the page "gets stuck" it is stuck for all 3D graphs until the offending graph is deleted and re-created.  To reproduce this issue create at least one 3D plot with a large number of plots in it.
    On a related note, if there was a programmatic method for deleting plots from a 3D graph then it's possible that this issue could be worked around.

  • Strange lines on my screen

    Recently I have noticed strange lines appearing on the screen of my MacBook Pro - they appear and disappear randomly.  I have noticed it especially on and around icons, as well as around the edges of Finder windows.  Today it escalated to the point where I couldn't see anything on the screen (see attached screenshot).  My computer is about 3 years old and I haven't had any problems with it.
    I just recently upgraded to Mavericks - could this have anything to do with it?  The problem started shortly thereafter.

    Hi,
    If i have understood you right, you want to save the AF graph plots.
    am i right? if not plz correct me.
    If i got u right, the simplest is to build a 2 D array by merging your 1D arrays and write to spreadsheeet file.
    Now, you can read it whenever u want and display on the XY graph.
    hope this help, if not, plz eloberate on what you are looking for.

  • Strange lines

    I create tutorials for a company. Ever since I started using
    Adobe Captivate 3 (over a year), strange lines appear in the
    rendered version of certain screen shots. These lines only appear
    in a consistent group of screen shots. I have tried every angle I
    could think of to get rid of them including:
    Exporting the existing backgrounds and inserting them into a
    new project.
    Taking new screen shots.
    Importing the project into Flash 8.
    Pulling out my hair.
    Again, these lines do not appear in the project until I
    render it into a flash file and run it.

    Welcome to our community, Scoot
    Have you tried the following? Right-click the slides
    exhibiting the behavior and choose Properties. Then adjust the
    Quality. Perhaps JPEG or something else.

  • Strange lines in JPG export. Artifacts?

    Hi guys,
    I've been having a problem recently exporting files as jpgs. I have a template for my blog -- one for a horizontal image and one for two verticals. I export these as JPG high at 72ppi.
    I've started seeing strange lines form on certain files. They're never in the same place twice and flipping anti-aliasing on and off doesn't change anything. I've created several different templates using different sizes and export resolutions and I'm still getting these lines. Any help would be appreciated.
    I've included a link to the original file without the red circles.

    2G iPhone users have to buy/install the entire assembly (glass, digitizer, LCD)

  • Strange line on my homepage

    Help. I can't get this strange line off my home page as it appears in Safari or any other browser. However, when it is open in iWeb, the line does not appear no matter what I do. Here is my url: http://web.mac.com/kerririchardson

    It looks like iweb generated a different CSS for the Welcome page than other page.
    You can fix that by changing the Welcome.css file, Welcome.css is located in Welcome_files folder.
