XY Graph Plot Legend acting up

[R^2]

Has anyone seen this before? 

I have the XY Graph set to scale object to pane...

All I did was add the extra text to first the Plot 0 then to Plot 1.

Any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks,

Ryan

Well, you've chosen to show us a really tiny sample of what we might want to see, so I'm willing to say "I don't have a clue, nor do I understand the nature of the problem".  Good luck.

Hey Bob, Thanks for looking at it.

The problem was with how the Plot Legend was displaying. the Plot names and icons are not inside the box that should hold them. (that fist image) 

It seems to have fixed itself. First I disabled the Autosize Plot Legend and changed the size of my VI window. The Legend box moved but the Plot data was still not contained in the box. 

Next I removed the extra text in the Plot names and the box fixed it self. I turned the Autosize Plot Legend back on and added the text back and now it is just fine. 

I know I did that same sequence before I posted but you know how it works as soon as you ask for help...

Here is what it should look like:

Scaling to pane never worked that well and if you throw a silver graph into the mix there is no telling what you get. 😞

Please attach a simplified version of your VI. It is much easier to fix things if a sample is provided that demonstrates the incorrect behavior reproducibly.

Hey altenback, 

I was working on the Example VI when it started to behave... Thanks for the reply.

What do you usually use when you need to allow for various screen sizes? 

Thanks,

I use fixed size panels. A bigger screen is useful to see more windows at the same time, not to waste it all on a single application. 😄

Painkillers. It really hurts. 

Usually it is getting to separating objects that resize and that move into different panes. Preferrably 1 resizing object per pane. Design at minimum pane size and limit it in VI properties. Keep entire object within pane, pay attention to hidden parts (scale legend, cursor legend, numeric indicator).

Do not scale pictures, when they resample they become ugly. Fonts size is a separate problem - I always check that VI does not have "Scale fonts for different resolutions" and none of the controls is using application or dialog fonts. Then I press Ctrl+A and set fixed font.

I do not know what is better less worse - multiple versions or scaling. Or combination: wide screens one version, tall screens - another.
