cluster of graphs property node

[jon_mcbee]

I have a cluster of graphs and I need to change the weight of box around each graph.  I have been looking into the property nodes for the cluster of graphs but cannot find a way to give the lines that create the outline of the graph more weight.  My reason for this is that currently the x and y scale major grid lines are the same weight as the lines that create the box around the graph and there needs to be a differentiation.  If anyone knows if this is possible or not/has any ideas or not please let me know.

Cheers!

I dont quite understand what you are referring to.  Could you take a screen shot of a vi with a graph on it, and then in Paint (pr other picture editing tool) highlight what lines you are reffering to.

Thanks

Attached is the screenshot with what is hopefully a more clear explanation.  Please feel free to let me know if more clarification is needed.

Cheers!

Ok, I was thinking that was what you meant. 

I tried playing with the gridlines, and the plot area colors, and I couldnt get that "border" to change at all.  I am not sure that there is a property to change that.

I looked in both LV 8.2.1 and 8.5

Maybe try playing with the polt area colors and plot colors and see if you can make it more distinctive to "get around" the issue.  It is a band aid, but it might be all we ahve at the moment.

I do appreciate your suggestion.  I wanted to ping the labview collective and make sure that I wasnt missing something obvious but it seems like you came to the same conclusion.  Thank you again for the help, I will see what I can do with the workaround.

Cheers!

Goto Advanced >>> Customize

select blow torch mode

create a box paint and copy to clip board

back in customize...

paste the the image from the clip board.

make sure graph area is front most.

non-blow torch

make graph background transparent so you can see your picture

That will let you kae your borders look anyway you want.

Ben, I am sorry but I dont follow your instructions.  Where do I find Advanced>>Customize?  Is it on one of the palletes? 

Cheers!

[jon_mcbee]

I see what you mean by Advanced>>Customize, but I am unclear on the blowtorch mode.  Where can I find this option?

These images should help.

Blow torch mode = edit mode

One last question, how would I go about making my graph background transparent?


Cheers!
