Get graph coordinates of XY Plot - Graphics Function

[PhilippFromAustria]

Hello, I use the XY Plot - Function from Graphics and Sounds, to generate a graph on a picture. Now I want to mark a specific data-point on this graph, but I only have the real coordinates but not the dots. To convert an orginal data point to dots I would need to get the active plotted area used on the picture (the start of the axis). But how will I get it? See the picture for more detail. -> I need to know the place of the red area. thx. Philipp

Hello,
Is the property "position" enough for you? You now how to create it?

[PhilippFromAustria]

Unfortunatelly not. I do not need the position of the graph. I need to know f.e. the position where the X and Y axis meet. With the property you mentioned, I can only set where the whole graph (including everything) starts. I need to know the area you can see in the picture.

[Jorge_Amaral]

OK.

And other thing. That space between the property that i've mentioned and the one that you want isn't it steady? If so, with a few tries you can determine the things that you want. no?

[PhilippFromAustria]

Right. But the spaces changes, each time the number becomes higher one decade.

[Jorge_Amaral]

Well, I've no idea left.

You don't use the xy graph by a good reason, right?

I also use the XY-Plot, but i have to make a report with a protocol out of the XY-Plot. The notes made in the XY-Plot should be included in the protocol, but to do so, I have to re-draw them in the Graphic. I can not use the export to graphic property node of the XY-Plot, because there has to be a frame and text around the Graph.

[Jorge_Amaral]

ok,

But let me give you another tip. You use the normal XY graph. And put all the things that you want to appear to your report on a tab control. then export this tab control using the "export image" invoke node. No?

[PhilippFromAustria]

sounds quite good. how does this work? Could you make just a short example of the invoke node? is the picture an emf file? Is it possible to make this in black and white?
