Can grid lines on a XY Graph be made dashes from solid

[SCR0613]

I'm using the SPC toolset. When the control limits are plotted (in red) if the control limit is placed over a grid line, the color of the control limit changes becoming much less visible. If I can make the grid lines dashed, at least a portion of the control limits will remain red for visibility. I can find no way to change the grid lines other than color.

Hello,

There is no method for modifying the line type of the grids behind the XY Graph. I would recommend making the control limit lines dashed in a different color than the grid lines, and in fact avoiding the grid line color altogether when making limit and data plots.

I tried this with LabVIEW 7.0, and I did not see the overlaid red-color plot change when it was placed over the grid line. Are you using 7.0? Can you post screen shots or VIs displaying the behavior, if you are still seeing the problem?

I hope this helps! Have a great day!

You could try grabbing a screen print of the graph and edit it in photoshop or similar to look the way you want. Then customise the control, paint it transparent and use your image as its background. I have done something similar to make a psychrometric chart (attached)
