XY Plot Scale Legend (Mapping Mode) Changed Event

[nottilie]

Dear Community

I want to synchronize the XY mapping mode of a graph with an enum.

The user should either be able to use the enum or the XY graph build in button to change the mapping mode of the Y-Scale.

This synchronization should not run in a loop as the access to propeties or via reference is very slow in Labview (for a few it is OK but if you access a lot of properties is starts to slow down your UI)

My idea is just to make an event for the change. It is easy to do it from the ENUM to the ScaleLegend Propery Mapping mode.

But the way back is not possible. Even the "ScaleRange Change" event is not fired when i change the mapping mode (even when it changes the scale range on the graph)

Are there any ideas how to solve this in a good way.

Thank you in advance

Hi nottilie, 

To my knowledge Property nodes is the best way to solve this problem in this case.

Out of curiosity, besides mapping, what else do you use the scale legend for? I have never used it in plots and am wondering what I am missing.

For my plots, I typically make a custom right-click menu where Axis Mapping is contained. Easy to trigger an event off of that. The plots are missing many events, for example, it would be nice to know which button is pressed in the graph palette.
