Allow setting Plot Bounds for Stacked Charts

Status: Declined

On a chart with stacked plots it would be nice to be able to set the plot bounds programmatically. So far this is not possible:

 

"... If it is a stacked chart, this property returns the bounds of the first plot area. You cannot s...

 

I would expect, that for a stacked plot, setting the Left or Right plot bound is simply applied to the Left/Right plot bounds of all stacked plots in the chart. To set Top and Bottom bounds setting the "ActPlot" property would be needed of course. If not set, the plot bounds of the first plot should be given back. I wonder why it is not implemented in a way like this by NI. Or am I missing something and it's possible? I asked for it in this post.

 

Where I would need it: To prevent a graph or chart to be too nervous at a high data acquisition rate, I would like to have the setting Advanced>Auto Adjust Scales disabled. But in my application the user can change the number of significant digits of the scales, which means then, that the Y-scale digits can go over the chart frame when a user changes the digits. So I would like to set the left plot bound programmatically depending on the user-selected significant digits during run-time. This works great for all graph and chart classes, except for the stacked plots charts... hm!
