Modify the auto resizing of diagram

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 2 kudos within 2 years after posting will be automatically declined.

For structures, it is possible to allow auto resizing.

This resizing only works for enlarge the struc.

It would set up a practice of providing added space between struc.

It would provide a more readable diagram and see all cable.

 

In the same idea, a option to shrink struc to diagram (automatic or on order) will be useful. When you make some sub vi from code, you can have a lot of space on a diagram and it's not easy to read the code.

Shrink the code with a space to add between the struc.

 

Ex 1 : raw code with only auto resizing.

Ex 2 : A code with space

Ex 3 : When we make sub vi, a lot of space is generated.

It is not automatic but diagram cleanup can do this for you. You can even restrict what it cleans by selecting the for loop in your example before selecting diagram cleanup.

The diagram cleanup can do it, but when the diaram is a littel complex, it don't work very well and you have a better result when you do it by hand !
