Decrease number of cells displayed by array indicator

If you have a 2-D array, the "corner thingy" is still there even after you resize it.

 

It is not there for a 1-D array.  Why?  Because you can only stretch the array in one dimension, either horizontally or vertically.  Once you've established a direction by resizing it, you can't have a corner thingy because you can't resize a 1-D array in a diagonal manner.  Not until you've returned it back to being a single element.

 

So I don't see anything wrong or inconsistent with the way LabVIEW handles arrays.

 

Though like others, I do find it hard at times to pick the correct pixels that distinguish between an element and an array container.

I understand HOW it works, though I don't agree with MS PAINT as a model for UI consistency.

 

Once upon a time (I've used LabVIEW since 2.0), there was a separate tool (cursor) for resizing arrays.  It was always on the corner, and it was always available there.  If you could only stretch the array horizontally, you could do it from either right-side corner.

If you could only stretch it vertically, you could do it from either bottom corner.  If you could stretch it EITHER way, I think the bottom left corner would go down, the upper right corner would go right, and the bottom right corner would go either way.

 

If you could go BOTH ways (2-D array), the bottom left corner would go down, the upper right corner would go right, and the bottom right corner would go BOTH ways.

 

And there was no (or at least reduced) interference with resizing handles of the elements.

 

All of which means nothing; it's just the opinion of one (or two) users.  Obviously, we are outvoted.
