I need LV graphs to have more symbol types

[MattI]

LV graph symbols are somewhat limited.
Additional symbols should be provided:
triangle, inverse triangle, filled triangle, and inverse filled triangle are 4 examples.
It's a shame that a $100 s/w like Excel has 10 times more (& better!) graph symbols than a $1000-$5000 package like LabVIEW.
It would also be very good for LV to support separate colors for each symbol for fill & border, like Excel does.
If LV just added little bits of functionality like this, it would be a truly usable software application, instead of requiring one to do all kinds of programming between and in all kinds of other applications.

I have found LabVIEW to be a truly useful software application for over a dozen years and have never felt limited with 16 symbols, 5 line styles, 6 line widths, and 256 different colors.

In any case, you probably want to make feature requests directly to NI at their product feedback page. It's been my experience with the NI that they listen closely to what the users what to see in future releases. Another good way to make your wishes known is to attend NI Week in Austin where you have the ability to talk directly with the LabVIEW development team.

Many thanks for your opinions and feedback.
