"SubVI structure"

Status: Declined

Hi all

I am still missing some kind of SubVI structure. The third representation - SubVI displayed as icon, expanded icon or its own block diagram in new structure. A modification in one structure of one vi reflects immediately in all others. This could increase code readability in some cases.

I think this would be ok for small diagrams that do very simple tasks, but some diagrams are very big, and it would cause the blokc diagram to stretch to accomodate it... will the block diagram shrink again when its reduced back to icon mode???
Also a size listing would be handy - ie telling the user that the block diagram has a pixel foot print of X by Y etc.

Cyro: Similar but not a duplicate. This one just views the code inline. That one disconnects from the subVI and copies the code into the caller.
