Hello

There are plot legend, scale legend, etc in a graph

Should you mean a property called "legend", to change name, use "plot name".

If not, clarify qour question and/or post an example vi.

Cheers

Hi,

I am actually trying to modify the legend of a graph in microsoft word 2003. I realized that I was a bit obscure about that.

I'm using LabVIEW 7. I can basicaly change everything in the graph except the font of the legend and the title.



Thanks.

Hello,

The legend property of the graph/chart can be accessed through Labview. If you take a look at the Word_Insert_Chart.vi (C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\vi.lib\addons\_office\_wordsub.llb\Word_Insert_Chart.vi), you will notice that there is a property node to the chart. One of the properties is for the legend on the chart, and from there, you could create a property node for the legend.

A few of the exposed properties are font, height, width, and position. In particular, the font property is read only. So, in short, you will not be able to change the font in your legend short of possibly getting an ActiveX reference to your graph and see what properties this reference exposes.


Thanks.

Hello Wendy,

thanks for your reply. This is what I was looking for. I tried the steps you described and as you said the properties I would like to modify can not be modified from LabVIEW.


Thanks for your help.

Hi again Wendy,

thanks for the idea, I finally am able to change the font's size of the legend.

I'll be working on the other properties.



Thanks.
