cursor printing on xy graph

[Greg_Shipley]

I am using Labview version 6.1 in Windows 2000. I have an XY graph that has active cursors used to select an interval of data for analysis from a raw data set. I pass the necessary parameters of this graph including scale settings, labels, the data set and cursor postions to a VI that prints the graph out in a printer freindly format. I cannot get the cursor postions to show up correctly on the printed graph, they remain where I place them when editing the VI.
The cursor postions are coming in correctly as are the other parameters. One thing, this graph is printed landscape.
Any suggestions?

When you say they stay where they where when you editted the VI, does the front panel control show the cursors moving?
What happens if you just print the control image? Is there a chance that the Printer Friendly VI you wrote is doing something funny? Does the same thing happen on a bunch of different printers?

Sorry for the stream of questions, I am just not real sure what the behavior you are seeing is, and what is causing it.

Check that the snap setting for the graph on the subVI is the same as on the main VI. I also always pass cursor index and not cursor position.

Just for a little feedback for the group. I was able to get the cursors to graph properly on my printed VI graph. The problem was corrected when I used the cursor index to place the cursors on the printed graph.
thanks to all who spent time on this.

So what is the question about... I have to use XY graph in my program. It is used in Loop while cycle. It shows the statistic of a variable. I am using cursors in this graph to check the actual value of a variable in different period of time. But there are 7 variables and it is extremely hard for user to check each value independently. So I tried to make them moving on the X axis (TIME) together using the property node (cursors reading the position (only X axis, Y axis status lock to plot) of the major cursor and follow it... Everything looks great? But it did not work when I am trying to move the major cursor manually on graph... It works only when I am using the cursor movement buttons... But they work very slowly when there is a lot of data in graph.

I want to find out is it possible to make seven coursers mouthing together By the X axe and be Locked each at its plot by Y axe manually (Using mouse moving on a graph). Is it possible? If it is than how to do it?

Hello Shidla,

I have posted a response to this question in the following thread.
