How to increase the width of the Y scale area on a mixed signal graph?

[Eric_Lang]

Hi!  This is my first time using a mixed signal graph, and I have been unsuccessful in widening the y scale area in order to view the values.  Also, I've noticed in other postings the ability to display the units.  How is this accomplished?

Thanks!

yoi can grab the Y-axis with your mouse in the middle and drag it to the right.

Thanks, perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but when I try to grab just the Y-axis, the entire mixed graph is selected and I resize the entire graph.  Is there something special to do here, or a specific location I need to click.  I thought this should be the case, but have been unsuccessful with the mixed signal graph.  True, one can do this with a simple single waveform graph.

don't select the graph. hover over the graph untill you see handles.  Drag the one indicated to the right.  I never use mixed graphs so I dont know if it works there 

[Eric_Lang]

I feel like this should be so simple!  I agree that is true with an XY graph or waveform graph and can resize them, but could you try a mixed signal graph with two stacked graphs to see if you get the handles?  My version (?) does not allow this.

Thanks!

Doesnt work for me either.  I havent got a clue how.  For sure somebody else does.  Sorry

Have you tried setting the dimensions with the PlotArea property node?

[Eric_Lang]

I believe so.  I've tried to set the PlotArea, Size, Width and that adjusts the entire plot but the width of the y-axis values remains the same unreadable size.  I have found a Y Scale, Bounds, Area Width property, but this comes up as read only and does not allow me to attach a constant to it (the option is grayed out).

Any other ideas?

Thanks!

Try checking out this help file from LabVIEW 8.6.

Hope that helps!

Hello Eric, open your graph in "Customize"-window (Edit / Customize control) and switch to customize mode. Then you will be able to change the size of the plot and adjusting the scale positions.

Cheers,
