Problem with Waveform Graph cursorcannot be moved when scroll cursor graph unchecked

[Arcus]

Hi All,

I have this problem with my waveform graph cursor moving beyond the plot (Dark unknown plot) so after researching this forum and mr. google I found out I just have to uncheck "Cursors Scroll Graph" from its property and it worked. However, When I did it, the cursor can't be grabbed by the mouse and can't be moved. it is stuck to its position. I am not sure if it is my program doing it or there is a setting somewhere in labview. Please let me know if you have any idea. thanks!

Can you show code demonstrating the problem?

Hi Mike,

Its hard for me to show the code since the cursor manipulation codes are all over the place but here is one example. there are also codes that sets the position of the cursor (X and Y) but that is straight forward.

I can unlock the cursor again by unchecking the scrolls cursor graph but when I move it, it goes away far far away from the plot.

right click on graph go to property and cursors part  add cursor and tike allow dragging and free dragging item and then do not use any property node relate to cursor position in the code otherwise you will not be able to drag the cursor

Hi Hatef,

I did that but somewhere in the program needs to set it to single plot - plot0 for some calculation that is cursor location depedent. I may be missing a good explaination between free dragging and single plot. and also in single plot what is single plot0 and all plots.

I did not exactly understand what is your means could you explain more?
elso see this vi and tell me if it is what you want and if not explain what is different

Hi Hatef,

Thanks for the example. I'll see if I can work with this. This is a good example to me started with graphs and cursors. It would even be better if there is an example out there for an intensity graph that shows contours or some scans (like a TV crt). cheers mate! big help!
