Xy graph legend background transparency

I have a strange problem with LV2009. I put an XY Graph on my front panel. The legend looks like the attached pic. I can't figure out how to make the gray button backgrounds go away. I want to make them transparent.

Hi jc,
I'm running into the same situation that you're seeing.  It seems that when we try to modify the gray button, it modifies the color of the legend for that plot instead of the gray button.  Attached are some examples of what I mean.  However, with that being said, it may not be possible to modify that portion of the control.  I'll do more investigation but I wanted to give you a heads up on my progress.

  • 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 cut out imported objects and make background transparent?

    Illustrator CS3.
    I have embedded a jpeg picture which I need to cut out and make the background transparent. How do I do this? An opacity mask? How do I create a mask the same shape as the object I need to cut out? The object needs central pieces cut out too. Please help!

    Opacity mask of clipping path are the two ways to do this in Illustrator. Photoshop is the ideal program for this task.

  • Background Transparency?

    Hi all,
    I'm working on a game project just now and I'm trying to get
    thought bubbles come out of characters' heads. I could do this via
    code and drawing a circle at runtime, but I want to be able to
    'tart it up' by creating proper nice bubbles using the normal
    drawing tools in flash.
    The problem I'm having though is that the stage is always
    rectangular and I can't see how to make the background transparent.
    Meaning that when I load my thoughtBubbles.swf into my main
    movie clips, it comes in with ugly white corners and the whole
    thing just looks daft!
    Can anyone help me here? Surely this problem has to have been
    solved a million times?
    Cheers,
    David

  • Setting image background transparent

    I want to know how can I set the background of an existing images to transparent. I am a web desginer and currently i want's to change background color of one of my site http://twxdroid.com but here the problem arises that some of my used images background won't match up site background, so someone plz tell me how to change existing image background transparent. I heard about using magic wand selection tool or quick selection tool to make transparent but still can't figure out how to use them.

    • if the Layer is a Background Layer change it to a regular one by double-clicking it
    • make a Selection with whatever Selection Tool is appropriate
    • if you selected the background use Select > Inverse to invert the Selection
    • Layer > Layer Mask > From Transparency
    • if further corrections are needed paint on the Layer Mask – black to hide, white to show the Layer’s content
    • save the layered file as psd, psb or tif
    • File > Save for Web … to save a copy a format that fits your needs (png-24 for example)

    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.

  • 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");

  • How can I keep logo background transparent when flattening for web?

    Hi, I have a logo designed in Illustrator which I'm bringing into Photoshop to save it for the web. It comes into Photoshop with a transparent background, but when I save it for the web or flatten it, it gets a white background. Can you tell me how to keep the background transparent?

    File > save for web (& devices). That will give you the best and smallest web-ready graphics. With save as you're embedding all kinds of info that doesn't need to be in the image. File size can bloat ten-fold quickly. Use save for web.

  • Making the background transparent in export from cinema 4d to AE CC

    I'm using Cinema 4D to create a 3d object and then import it into AE CC.  When I import it in, the grey grid in the background is visible. I want to make the background transparent, so that all you can see is the object in AE.  How can I do this?

    This is not a matter of transparency. You are seeing what you are seeing because you are looking at the draft software rendering result.
    Choose Standard (Final) from the Renderer menu in the Cineware effect.

  • Export and re-import in to project keeping background transparent.

    Hi guys...
    I have had some joy and some no so joy... maybe I am doing something wrong..
    I have been using a smoke emmitter and "flattened" this and re-imported back into project to save ram or to duplicate the layer (for more smoke) and also again save ram. But sometimes the new import has a transparent background layer sometimes it is black. (Always I set all the other layers to not viewable) I have tried using keying to get rid of the black. But possibly there is a setting to keep any export/import back into project background transparent, if in a group above the bottom one. I am using QT animation setting for exports. DVC PRO HD 1080p
    Thanks.
    Cheers for all this great help... invaluable for neubie..

    Set your background to transparent (press apple+J to open the window you need) as it may currently be set to "solid" and render the movie out using Animation, as this preset will support transparency. That should do it.

  • Title Background Transparency Doesn't Work

    Hello,
    I can't get the title background transparency to work. I'm running Premiere CS6 6.04. Clicking on the background button does nothing. Sometimes, I can randomly change the background settings to get it to become transparent, but that is not working now. Very frustrating.

    This is me setting up a title. The cursor is on the spot on the timeline that has a red christmas background. Everything appears normal.
    When I close this window, and move the title onto the timeline this happens. I haven't touched anything else (including the cursor location)

  • How to turn logo background transparent?

    I need to change the logo background transparent so this logo integrates seamlessly on my website instead of looking like a big black box with a logo in it.
    Is it possible to remove the black background from every where except behind the lettering?
    Here is another similar variation:
    I dont mind the white letters, but I would want the green glow to be more apparent like the 1st one.
    Ideas?

    Is this the look you're going for?
    A sample layered psd file with your logo (as pixels; I didn't take the time to redraw it) and Outer Glow layer style, along with several test backgrounds, and the logo itself saved as a .png with transparency can be found here:
