Cursor name text box and cursor movement.

[Ken MacKay]

In labview 7.0 I am plotting multiple traces in a single XYgraph and use the
cursor legend to allow the user to pick points on each trace. This works fine
but the text box in the cursor legend for the cursor name is too small to
contain the full name (the cursor name is set to the file name of the trace data
and can be up to 27 characters long). Is there any way to increase the size of
the text box for the cursor name in the cursor legend? If the font size is
reduced so everything fits then it is too small to read.

The second problem is that I cannot get the cursor movement control buttons to
appear. Are they available in 7.0? It would be nice to be able to move the
cursor by one point at the time using keys or button
press, rather having to
zoom in and then use the mouse.

You can just enlarge the cursor legend to any size you want. (See attached example).

The cursor movement control appears with the cursor legend, but is often placed to the far right. Just look for it!

Sorry for replying to my own post but have solved the cursor name text box size.
Was able to resize it under advanced->customize.

Still looking for solution to second problem.

Ok, found the cursor movement control. It was hidden under the graph.
