Putting copies of a 3d graph on front panel

[estomax]

Hey All,

I have yet another puzzling task that doesn't work like i would hope it would. On my front panel I am displaying 3D Graphs, and some of these graphs i also want to show in a different tab on the front panel. Basically, i want a copy of a graph i show on the front panel to be shown in a different tab. I figured that an easy way to do this would be to make a copy of the graph and then change it to an indicator, and wire it to the original graph, thus having two physical graphs on the front panel with the same data, but this doesnt work. How can i make this work? See attached screenshot of what i did. Let me know if you need more information.

thanks!

Hi Marko,

The examples that ship with labview are awesome, and there is a great one that shows how to configure and change programmatically some characteristics of the tab control pages: this includes colour, size etc.

The example is found by, help>>find examples>>building user interfaces>>controlling front panel objects programmatically>>Tab Control Properties.vi

Then for your situation, I suppose you'd change in the bottom left case structure, with "first page" and "second page" by having only one 'dial' but two indicators...this sounds similar to your suggestion. And the dial would be your data.. The 'tank' would be your graph.

Let me know how you get on.
Thanks,

Also,

heres a link that may be useful too - not using tabs tho.
