Xy Graph problem

I have one XY graph, in that i am drawing graph according to the values from inputfile. it is drwaing properly from left to right. But after some time another curser is removing my graph.Why it is happening?

Seems to work for me. I don't see any problem with cursors. Try the attached - slightly modified. Your file contains about 3500 points, so I set the buffer length to 3500. Also, make sure to reset the buffer on first iteration, otherwise "old" data is retained.
I moved the Axis properties out of the loop. It seems to improve the display.
It seems your x axis wraps around a couple of times, but that's a result of the data, not the plotting technique.

One-to-many graph problem

Hi,
I am haviing a crystal report problem. The problem relates to a one-to-many relationship involving two tables.
I have a similar setup to the following:
I have 2 database tables: table1 & table2
table1 consists of 3 fields:
{id#}, {yes/no},{up/down}
table2 consists of 2 fields:
{id#},
the field can contain any of the following values: 'open', 'closed', 'final', 'complete'.
The problem is that there exist many states to one id#.
I have a bar graph in my report that displays a bar for the count of the{yes/no} field and a bar for the count of the {up/down} field. I want also a bar for the count of when the field = 'final'.
What happens when I write a formula for the field in the second table and place it in the 'show values' section of the chart expert, is the count displayed in each bar on the graph increases significantly. I am assuming this is because there are multiple records in table 2 for each record in table 1.
What I want to happen is that the graph displays bar 1 and bar 2 correctly and then when I put in the formula for the third bar, it simply displays that bar with the count for when the field = 'final'. I dont want it to affect the whole garph.
Has anyone got any suggestions on how I can do this?
I have tried messing around with the distinct records setting in crystal and also by writing an sql query specifying DISTINCT keyword instead of using the select expert, but to no avail.
Please please can someone help me with this issue.
Thank you.

You can add a 1-1 query key through the code API in a descriptor amendment method. You could also define a selection criteria on the 1-m mapping to filter the type=2.
Example: (see Foundation Library manual 8-17)
OneToOneQueryKey queryKey = new OneToOneQueryKey();
queryKey.setName("organization");
queryKey.setReferenceClass(Organization.class);
ExpressionBuilder builder = new ExpressionBuilder();
queryKey.setJoinCriteria(builder.getField("ORGANIZATION.ORG_ID").equal(builder.getParameter("RELATIONSHIP.PARENT_ID").and(builder.getParamater("RELATIONSHIP.RELATIONSHIP_TYPE").equal(2)));
relationDescriptor.addQueryKey(queryKey);
Example: (of 1-m mapping with selection criteria)
OneToManyMapping mapping = new OneToManyMapping();
mapping.setReferenceClass(Relation.class);
mapping.setTargetForeignKey("RELATION.PARENT_ID");
ExpressionBuilder builder = new ExpressionBuilder();
mapping.setSelectionCriteria(builder.getField("RELATIONSHIP.PARENT_ID").equal(builder.getParameter("ORGANIZATION.ORG_ID").and(builder.getField("RELATIONSHIP.RELATIONSHIP_TYPE").equal(2)));
orgDescriptor.addMapping(mapping);

Hi,
Not directly. You have to edit graph.xml file (in property pane of your graph). Some details about this file you can get from How to... topics on Products page

Excel & ActiveX: Insert arbitrary columns from 2D array and create graph problems

Hi there,
I want to insert data from either a 1D or 2D array from LabView into Excel and create graphs.
I used the information from the following example:
http://www.ni.com/example/28934/en/
and was able to create a new Excel file (I'm using Excel 2010), writing data from an 1D array to a column in excel by creating a while loop and using the first element of the array to write it to a specific cell. I use the counter of the loop to write to the next cell when the loop starts over and always delete the first value, which I write to the cell, from the array until it is empty.
Now I also would like to write a 2D array - so the first column in Excel should be the first column from the array and so. Here I cannot use the loop counter directly as Excel only counts 1,2,... for the rows, but uses A,B,... to count columns. Also I do not know in advance how many columns my 2D array will contain, so creating a lookup table like (A means 1, B means 2,...) is not really an option (except there really is no other way). Is there a possibilty to convert numbers into letters or some way to 'explain' to the program that column 2 in the array means column B in Excel for example, or is there a way to insert new columns?
I figured out how to add new Worksheets and as I also need to create a certain number of Worksheets and I know that on standard 3 sheets are present when creating the file, I use the 'add' methode to create every new worksheets before worksheet 3 - I could use the same methode to create new columns in Excel, but so far I didn't find a methode to do so. Or is there a way to enter the whole 2D array at once?
Then I'd like to create a graph (in case of the 1D arrays a bar plot, when using 2D arrays a 3D plot) to view the data. I found this example:
http://www.ni.com/newsletter/51339/en/
-> as I do not have the toolkit I'd like to do it using ActiveX directly, so I tried to do things like shown under the headline 'DIY ActiveX/.NET'
I tried to load the snippet to a new Excel file but got the error message 'microsoft.office.interop.excel.dll not found' and hence the code is not working. That confuses me a little as I would guess when this dll is not present I cannot access Excel from LabView at all, though my understanding of what I'm really doing so far is quiet limited. ;-)
Also - as far as I understand from the snippet - when creating a new chart object I should be able the create methodes for it, however when I do a right click on the chart object of an ActiveX Worksheet symbol there are none listed.
To explain my problems better I added a snippet showing my two problems: The inner of the two while loops shows how I import a 1D array. In the outer loop I seperate the columns. I know that currently this is not working as all data end up in column A of the Excel sheet - so I would need to convert the number of the outer counter to A, B,... or find a different solution.
Moreover on the snippet I placed an ActiveX Worksheet Property with the Chart Object - as I can see the difference to the Chart Object in the example code from the last link above is the color. However I'm not sure what that means and how to change/ solve this.
And just to make sure - I know this way the VI does not run as the Chart Object is placed completely wrong - I just did it, so it is included in the snippet.
I'd be thankful for any suggestions,
Thanks!
Solved!

Hello everyone and thanks for the answers.
I only have the LabView Student Edition available here - is the toolkit included in it too. How can I check if it is installed/ available and in case it is installed - where can I find it?
Today I had time to take a look at the example
Create via ActiveX Labview a XY Scatter plot graph on an excel sheet
It almost does what I want in terms of creating a graph. The only problem I could not fix, is that in this example a sheet is created where only the graph is present. i'd like to add the graph to a previously created worksheet. Today I tried get this working but it seems I stilll don't really understand what I'm doing, I'll post a snippet of my code as soon as I can access the PC with LabView on it again.
I also took a look at the other example for inserting 2D attays - it seems to be what I need, I just had no time so far to test it, I'll post an update when I could test it.
Thanks for the help so far!

Labview Graph Problem

Hello,

Line graph problem in numbers

How can I change. the thickness of lines when using the line diagram in numbers. I want to see 3 lines that are relatively close to each other but because they are very thick they overlay each other.

There isn't a way to change the shape. Your options are to change the graph type, or to make the graph larger (should correct the overlap problem).

Line Graph Problem when used with Series

I am facing a problem with Line Graph in Oracle Reports 10g.
I have made a graph having series of three curves.
The graph is perfect when all series have similar X-Axis values. See the link
http://www.sysautomation.com/ask/RPT_LINE_GRAPH_OK.PDF
But same graph does not print curves properly, gives spaces in the curves, when all the series do not have similar values on X-Axis
http://www.sysautomation.com/ask/RPT_LINE_GRAPH_NOT_OK.PDF
Pl. guide me what to do to make this graph working.

Thanks for reply.
In my case, I have to plot curves.
and some Series have different X-axis values.
I have no choice, but to plot them.
The same thing was working fine with Reports 6i + Graphics 6i.
What is Scatter Plot?
Thanks again.
This is a limitation in the current line graph in
Reports 10g (9.0.4). I can't recall whether this has
improved in 10.1.2 or it was planned for the next
rev.
Would trying a scatter plot be better?
Line graphs are normally meant for regular intervals
on x-axis, so using the example of dates, Jan, Feb
and Dec would be placed right next to each other,
rather than scaled with the right distance between
Feb and Dec.

Graphing problem with two plots

I know how to plot two graphs on top of one another but the problem I have
is as follows. I have the spectrum of a certain noisy signal which has been
averaged. I then change some conditions by pressing a button and the
spectrum changes to something else. of course I can capture both of these
graphically but really I want them both on the same graph - any ideas?
The data is not available at the same time - would I have to store it
somewhere in a buffer and recall it in some way? Picture a spectrum analyser
where there are two channels - you take the spectrum on channel A and then
store it. You then take the spectrum on channel B and do a comparison where
they appear together - this is my problem in essence.
thanks
tom

If both writes to the graph occur in the same loop ( just at different iterations), use shift registers. (See attached simple LabVIEW 7.0 example).
If the writes occur in different parts of the diagram, Just write the first channel to a local variable of the graph, then later combine the two channels for the final graph.

SVG Graph problem

I have an SVG graph with 2 series and I have 2 check boxes (let me call them Series1 and Series2 for this example) that control the display of this series. When I check Series1 , only the first series is to be displayed and on checking on series2 , the 2nd is to be displayed, if both are chcecked, both the series are displayed on the same SVG chart.
This actually works well but the problem is that if series 2 is checked without checking series 1 only a shadow of the series 2 is displayed, I guess the SVG chart attributes determining the X,Y coordinates and labels are not being invoked. However , if series 1 is checked it is displyed correctly, a proper chart with only Series 1, and if both are checked, it displays it correctly too. But if only Series2 is checked I get a shadow of the series against a white background, though the shape of the series output is right. The graph background, the legend, the X,Y corordinates etc are missing.It looks like the chart attributes are determined from the first series and so if that is not invoked, only a shadow if the other series are displyed. Can anyone help with this?
Thanks

i see what you mean re the second series depending on the first. i've logged it as a bug, too, thanks. consider working around the issue for now by setting up multiple svg regions on your page that fire conditionally based on the series to be shown. so for your example case you could have three regions - one for series1, one for series2, and one for both. you could then show the appropriate region based on whether series1, series2, or both series are to be displayed.
hope this helps,
raj

I don't have the word report toolkit, so I'm guessing here:
You send a 2D array to a subVI of the toolkit. In picture 1 the 2D
array has 2 rows, X data in the first row and y data in the second.
In picture 2 you have 8 rows, X data in row 1,3,5,7 and Y data in rows
2,4,6,8 and obviously you want to plot 4 curves, row2 vs. row1, row4
vs.row3 and so on. But the toolkit VI interprets the 2D array as 1 row
of Xdata and 7 rows of Y.data and plots this correctly as shown in
picture 2.

A bar graph problem

hi all,
sorry if my question is not clear, try my best to describe.
i currently creating a bar graph applet, where this applet take different "group" of data / value, e.g. (68, 268,2680, 28 and 8). and here the maximum value is 2680, other group may NOT so. so for being the bar graph display, i have an applet that has a "fixed" maximum width of 700, i need my bar graph to have only 10 columns and also i need to minus out 10 from each column for other purposes, so i take (700 / 10) - 10 = 60, but here come the real problem, if i take 268 * 60 = 16080, that is incorrect! That is i know that i had to divide the 700 with 1000, because (700 / 1000) - (10 / 1000) = 0.69, then 268 * 0.69 = 184.92, that seem OK! but, but it still ran out of the expected result, the bar width will be much more shorter than expected (only those higher data value), why? my code will be as follow:
   if (highestWidth >= 1001)
      maxDetector = 10000;
   else if (highestWidth >= 101)
       maxDetector = 1000;
   else if (highestWidth >= 11)
       maxDetector = 100;
   else
       maxDetector = 10;
   maxSingleWidth = (axisPanel.getWidth() / maxDetector) - (10 / (maxDetector / 10));so, at for loop:
for (i=0; i <= 9; i++){
   barPanel.setBounds(x, y, (dataValue * maxSingleWidth), height);
any help will be very very much appreciated!!!

Load excel file value to graph problem(about x-axis value)

Hello,everyone,I have this problem.
When I load the excel file which I saved before,the waveform came out normally,but the x-axis of graph waveform was not shown the number I want,it shown the number based on the no.of samples.
What I want is plot the x-axis value based on the rate(pts/s).For this case,rate is 50prs/s,so after calculation...0.02s per reading.totally is 20 seconds.I tried to use XY-Graph,but didn't solve out.

is it always 0.02s per reading or did you get this figure from some calculation?? in anyway, you just connect that value (the constant 0.02 or calculated amount) to a Property Node... you link the Property Node to Waveform Graph 2... under property choose X-Scale -> Offset and Multiplier -> Multiplier...
i'm not sure if this is the best method but hope it helps... i've tried it on your code and it works...

Irritating graph problem

I have an X-Y graph that holds several datasets and has a cursor, locked to
datapoints, that the user can drag around to get information on different
datapoints and different datasets. The user can opt to hide a dataset to
make the display clearer. In this case, if the datapoint the cursor is
pointing to disappears from the plot, the cursor goes to (0,0) and has to be
manually brought back by the menu option "Bring cursor to centre", which is
a builtin function of the X-Y plot.
I want to remove this manual step and automatically bring the cursor back to
the centre. This should have been trivial- I assumed the "Bring cursor to
centre" would be a method of the X-Y graph object. Not so. So I then read
the new X and Y axis ranges aft
er removing the data and I set the cursor X
and Y to the midpoint of these. This doesn't work unless a datapoint exists
at the centre of the plot. So first, I unlock the cursor and move it to the
centre- this is fine. If I manually change the cursor lock mode to "Lock to
point" it automatically jumps to the closest datapoint- good. However if I
do it programmatically, it jumps to (0,0). Not good.
This is obviously an irritating problem. I'm on 6.0- I've not had the time
to backup and install the latest update, though I've not heard of this in
the discussed fixes.
I don't particularly want to have to locate the closest visible datapoint to
the centre and programmatically move the cursor there- it's bound to be much
slower than the builtin function if only I can get at it!
Anyone done this?

Hmm. Updating my installation to 6.0.2 doesn't solve the crash. Bug report
submitted. I've attached here a simple VI demonstrating the problem that,
when run, results in a failure at line 2361 in "graphcrs.cpp". Be

Graph Problem - Finding Cliques

Hi Folks,
I'm stuck with a problem involving undirected graphs and was wondering if anyone might be able to help.
I have a Vector containing pairs of letters which represent edges in a graph from one point to another. e.g. 'ab' would be an edge from point 'a' to point 'b'. In many cases this Vector contains a number of sub-graphs e.g.
ab
ac
bc
de
df
ef
{ab, ac, bc} make up one complete sub-graph and {de, df, ef} makes up another, where each point has an edge to all the other points in the group.
I want to be able to identify these sub-graphs and seperate them (or at least identify them as being different groups). In graph theory I believe these groups are known as cliques.
I am only interested in finding maximal cliques (complete sub-groups) and in my particular situation a point will never exist in more than one clique (so no overlapping groups). Also the vector will only ever contain complete sub-graphs (no incomplete sub-graphs where edges are missing).
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need any more info.
Regards,
Jamie

                    if(m==d) g[d++] = k;
                group[c++] = new Group(g,d);
        group[c] = null;
        return c;
    }This populates the cliques in the given array and returns the number of cliques.
This method works with "well behaved" groups, where each group can be achieved by choosing some two elements of it and then searching the rest in order of appearance. So if you have the followin cliques (1,4,5), (2,5,6), (3,4,6) and (4,5,6):
1-4-3
5-6
2
you will miss the clique (4,5,6). In your case this should not be a problem.
