Will Labview 7.1 fix scale overlap problem?

[jondavid79]

I am having a problem with using multiple y-scales. My program demands that the user be able to add and remove y-scales at run-time as needed. When this is done to the waveform graph, scales eventually begin to overlap and the entire graph moves out of alignment. This problem was previosly reported for dealing with XY graphs. In the response the Labview support person stated that there should be a Reset Scale Layout method available at run-time. After incorporating the fix method given in the other report, my axis's still fail to align. Will this method be included for the waveform graph function in Labview 7.1 or has a permanent fix for this problem been made?

Thanks

Hi Jonathon,

Adding/removing scales programmatically can give some strange behavior if you don't manually refresh (or redraw) the graph each time using the Defer Panel Updates method for a Panel Invoke Node. I've attached a simple VI below using a waveform chart, but the same concept applies to waveform graphs.

Let me know if this doesn't fix your problem.

Thanks!

I ran into this problem recently. I was getting overlapping Y scales in my executable but not while running in source code. It turns out I had this item in my application INI file:

EnableAutoScales=False

Once I set it to True, the plot resized and scales were correctly spaced.

This was using LV2011 SP1.

You have bumped a very old thread, do not hijack other's post. If you have any question or if you have something to tell you can start your own thread and share.

Good luck
