My Y-axis graph labels get screwed up in subpanels.

[David_R._Asher]

I have several different computers running several different applications and they all display the same problem. When I add one of my VIs to a subpanel the Y-axis graph label gets messed up. Sometimes the text is completely blacked out, other times it is partially blacked out and nearly unreadable. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a fix for this? I have attached a bitmap of what happens to the Y-axis graph label in one particular case.

Hello �

The problem is that the area surrounding the Y-Axis Label (think about it as a box where the Label is contained) changes to the Front Panel�s color (of the called VI) when running in a subpanel. I am guessing your Front Panel is black and therefore you get the �black box� when running the VI in a subpanel.

I have reported this inconvenience to our R&D group so that they can look further into it.

The workaround I can think of is to make the Front Panel�s color (of the called VI) the same as the color of the graph, so that when it runs in a subpanel the �Label box� turns into the same color as well.

We apologize for the inconvenience and I hope this suggestion helps.

Have a great day.

An easy solution:

Force the color of the actual labels to be the same as the graph background (instead of the default Transparent).

This issue also applies to vertical text in labels anywhere on the VI (not only on graphs).
