How can I change the size of points in a polar plot?

[forum_75]

Hi,

I have used this link (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9CEC8B2C1E67039586256DEF006F9A0E)  to plot points (instead of lines) with the polar plot demo of Labview (see attached file). Could anybody tell me if it is possible to change the size of the points on the plot (I would like them to be bigger).

Thanks a lot,

Regards,

Hi,

Find the attachment (in LV8.6) to increase the size of the plot.

Hi Baji,

Thank you for your time and answer.

I am sorry but I can't find the place where I can change the size of the points on the plot.....Could you tell me?

Thanks a lot,

The code that Balaji uploaded is the example that ships with LabVIEW with the "Plot Polar Data" subVI replaced with one that plots points instead of lines. As the KB article points out, the example that ships with LabVIEW shows how you can replace the subVI used in the example to plot points instead of lines. The "pen" input of the "Draw Point" VI indicates the thickness of the points. You can bring this "pen" input to a front panel control or hard-wire it to a value.

Hi,

 Yesterday, I forget to mention how to change the plot width. ya as smercurio_fc said change the pen width to increase the plotwidth,I attached the VIs have a look at it.

Hi,

Thanks a lot to both of you for your help. It works fine. I had actually tried this before but it didn't work. I suppose at that time my Global VI was using the sub-VIs by default which where in the Labview folder and not the ones I was modifying in the folder on my desk....

Thanks again,
