Re : Copy graph to report using Report Generation Toolkit

[Mike_Wescott]

Can anyone show me an example of how to copy a waveform graph to a word document graph.  I want to generate my report at the end of the machine cycle when the on screen graph is complete and then export that graph data to the report along with pictures from my two cameras.

Probably a two step process: Waveform graph to JPG file and import JPG file

You can append the control image using Append Control Image to Report.vi. What do you want to do exactly? If you want to to generate the graph in Word using the waveform data you will have to do something different.

My original thought was to generate the graph again in word using data pulled out of the waveform graph.  But if that is too complex I could probably live with the control image.

Is there a way to pull the data from the waveform graph to send to the Word document using the Report generation toolkit?  If not what is the control image way you mentioned?

Sure.  I can think of a couple of ways.  Save it as a table, or as a picture of the graph.  Read the help file for the report generator.

Did you look at the function "Word Easy Graph VI"?  How about all of the functions on the "Word Graphs and Pictures" Palette?

You've been given a bunch of suggestions, yet still do not seem to be satisfied.  Maybe you can show us what you want to do by manually creating (in Word) a document with a graph that you "pull" from LabVIEW so we can see what it is that you need, and thereby make better suggestions as to how you might "push" such a report and graph from LabVIEW to Word.

And what type of data are you using to display in your Waveform Graph, 1D array of double, waveform data type, dynamic data type?

It is a 1D array of waveform feeding into the Waveform chart VI.  I will try some of the suggested methods when I get a chance.  I was just hoping ot find some examples instead of trying to interpret the help files  

This is not my top priority project right now so I can only spend a short bit of time on it each day.

The easyest thing to do is to append the control image to your report, you can also insert it at a bookmarked location.
