How do I add a cross hair to a xy chart

[RichardSAhrens]

I am trying to add a cross hair to a xy chart to make the current point being plotted clearer and was wondering if there is a way to do this?

Hello,

It sounds like you want to add a cursor to your XY graph.  Take a look at this link for info on how to do so.

Depending on your LV version, you may have a couple of ways.

In all versions, you can turn on a cursor, and when you plt the point, use the Cursor's Property node to move the cursor to point you're adding.  You can also add an additional plot that is only one point (the current point) and have its plot style be the type you want it to be.

In later versions of LV, you have the ability to add an image to a plot and specify the location.  Look for the Graph Plot Area Images.vi example.
