Converting a graph from color to black and white

[dlubin]

   O.K. I am a new user, and trying to correct things that come up from up-grading out equipment.  We were using a regular Laser printer we, for numerous reasons, moved to a Color Laser printer.   Now our graphs come out with a color backround with a white data line, also the information boxes on the graph are coming out white on color.

   We need to get this back to black on white, I will settle for color on white though.

Try this:

Go to "tools...options...printing" and uncheck "color/grayscale printing".

Altenbach,

   Thank you very much for a prompt reply, unfortunatly I am either using a much older version, or just a users version, cause there is no tools menue at the top of the screen

What is you LabVIEW version?

Just look elsewhere, maybe it's in a different menu, but it's definitely somewhere 😉

Hi Dave,

You could also change the graph properties by using property nodes in LabVIEW.  You could change the foreground and background colors of the graph Plot Area and change the colors of the Plots themselves.  I've attached a really simple example in LabVIEW 6.1 (since I don't know what version you have but this is the earliest version I currently have installed). 

Hope this helps!
