Calculating the Position of a Mouse Click and Plotting the Position on an XY Graph

[Joe D.]

This VI shows how to calculate the position of a mouse click and then use this position to update the cursor on an XY graph. To calculate the mouse position, LabVIEW plots data on a graph. LabVIEW then compares the coordinates of the mouse click to the coordinates of this plotted data and snaps the cursor to the data point that is closest to the mouse click. After you select a data point with a mouse click, LabVIEW plots that data point on a second XY graph.

Can't load this vi in LabVIEW 2009.  Error says that this vi is from LabVIEW 2010.

Hi All,

I was going through the block diagram to understand the program. I see that there is a property node of the XY graph called PlotAreaPos used inside the event- "Initial Data":Mouse Up. I searched for the same property node but could not find it anywhere. Where to find it?

Hello everyone! 

Although the topic is pretty old I have made some effort to resolve 2 issues and make the program working on LabVIEW 2015.

So you should do the following:

1. "OldCrsrList" replace by "CrsrList" 

2. "PlotAreaPos" replace by "PlotBounds->Left/Right"

The rest seems the same
