LabVIEW 6.1 Bug

[ClassyQ]

Hi,

There seems to be a problem with a simple VI that I built originally
for LV 6.02 and it worked fine, but now with LV 6.1 there is a good
sized bug. It is a single waveform chart with three booleans. The
first boolean toggles the X-scale style (0 & 5), the second toggles
the Y-scale style (0 & 5), and the third is a stop button that stops
all execution in a while loop (update 500ms). I have a guassian noise
VI generating the waveform (2 traces). What happens is that when the
first boolean mentioned above is toggled, the chart on the front panel
grows in the horizontal direction, and the same happens for the second
button as the chart also grows but in the vertical direction. I even
tried locking the chart but the lock never happened and the growin
g
chart does it's thing.

Locking an object keep it from being moved and grown in the editor, but
doesn't have any affect on programmatic access. My guess is that the
formatting changes are adjusting the black plotting area of the chart
inwards, which was also the default in LV6, but there was a config token
for changing that.

In LV6.1, the config token still works, so you can place it back in t
he
..ini file, or better yet, in LV6.1 there is a popup on the chart in the
Advanced to turn this on and off for a particular graph.

If this isn't the issue, please submit the VI and description to tech
support so that it can be investigated further.
