Stacked Plots improvements!

[josborne]

Its possible to stack plots using a WaveForm Chart:

You can also do it using Mixed Signal Graphs.

But the functionality is very restrictive.  I propose these improvements:

• Allow stacking plots on Waveform Graphs and XY Graphs also.
• Allow users to modify the number of stacked plots at run-time.  This is currently impossible.  You need to pick the number of plots you want to stack during design-time.  And then you are stuck with it at run-time.  Though there are certainly plenty of clumsy attempted workarounds to this problem (e.g. see here).  It would be great to have this function for run-time.  Its very common in Biomedical data-acquisition applications to allow users to vizualize data in stacked plots (EEG for example), and its a pain to program this in a flexible manner using LabVIEW.

Whoops.  Looks like this was already posted.  I could have sworn I searched for it and came up blank.  Oh well.  Go here and vote for it:

Though my only new contribution is to also allow this function in Waveform Charts.

Wait, what? Really? How? I've been using Mixed Signal graphs for this and it's quite diicult to get it to act just how I want it to (LV2012). Please explain.

Right Click Waveform Chart -> Stack Plots

Awe man, of course it's that easy! Sometimes the hardest things to see are right in front of you. Thanks!

As for the post: Kudos for the Idea to make the same thing possible with WFGraphs and XY and for allowing edit at runtime.

Hi,

I am using LabView 2016... I cannot find how to stack plots on WaveForm Graphs?
Is that still unimplemented?
