cursor style question

[concorpoly]

Hi, I set the cursor style of XY Graph is a cross cursor, but it shows a horizontal line only.

I tried to pull another line from the borders of the Graph, but I can't find and drag another line.

But I open a new VI, and place a new XY graph, set the cross cursor, it works, same setting.

If you have a cross cursor and only see the horizontal line, then I'm assuming you're x coordiante of the cursor is outside the range of your window.  If you show the cursor legend (visible items->Cursor Legend) you should be able to confirm the x,y cooridante of the cursor.

Thanks, you are right.  Since I use time as x coordinate, I found the x coordinate of cursor is out of display range.

It seems the x coordinate of the cursor is the location of display for last time. It can't update automatically accroding to the new X range ?

Or I have to use property node to reset it?

I haven't used too many cursors, but I assume you have to move the cursor either by dragging it or setting its value with a property node.
