How to get a fixed plot area in a Waveform Graph even if the Y scale's precision change

Because I'm stacking many Waveform Graph. I want them to look the same. When I change the precision of the values in the Y Scale. The plot area doesn't keep its initial width. In the example provided. I'm changing the precision and you can see it moving. Is there a way to keep the width fixed?

I noticed that there is justification for unit label. But I didn't got the expected behavior.

Right click on the graph, select Advanced, and deselect Auto Adjust Scales and see if that fixes your problem.

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem: to fix the plot size area of six charts and graphs and allign them left while changing the Y-scale precision of one of them.

The menu item you described I can't find in my graphs and charts properties - migth it be this feature is only in LV 6.1 and higher availible? I'm using LV 6.02 German (For this reason, I also can't open the example vi)

Thanks in advance, Andy

The menu item is only in LabVIEW 6.1 and above because the plot area did not autoscale in earlier versions so I'm not sure exactly what kind of problem you're seeeing. Here's the original example in 6.0 format and when I run it, the plot areas stay aligned as the precision changes. Could you maybe post an example that demonstrates the behavior?

Thanks for downconverting the example.

I've attached my example, too.
You see a different behaviour of the plot area if changing the precision by property node or manual. Is this normal? Or do I always have to use property nodes?
