fixing the y-axis of charts and graphs to origin

I wonder if it is possible to fix the y-axis scales without it being dragged with the cursor when holding down and dragging the mouse key over graphs and charts? I am logging and displaying data for 30 days. It works a treat and logs everything. At a time it could display data over 7 days due to limited screen resolution. Thanks to labview, I can drag the graphs across to see more data. But it's really not looking professional seeing y-axis go below origin when dragged vertically. Any ideas?

 

Kind Regards

RIght-click the graph and go to "advance...cursor scroll graph" and toggle it off.

No go to "visible items...x-scrollbar" and use that to scroll.

I tried this. Well xscrollbar is a good tool and yes it allows to scroll across x axis. Two things I have noticed.

1) Advanced>cursor scroll graph- toggle to off switches off the xscroll cursor made visible as above.

2) It still lets me drag the graph up and down.

 

I wonder if alternatively I could disable mouse action when dragged/hovered over the graphs?

I don't understand what you are saying. To me it is all gibberish.

 

  • "I tried this"   tried what???
  • "...switches off...cursor..." A cursor is not a boolean. Do you mean it becomes invisible? inoperative?
  • "... as above..." Where? (Right above you are talking about xscrollbar, not a cursor) 
  • "it still lets me drag..." What is "it"? What is the meaning of "drag" here? drag what?

Can you attach a simple VI containing your graph and a clear step-by-step description what you are trying to do. What happens, and what should happen instead.

 

Of course you can disable mouse actions, but my suggestions are simpler and should work just fine.
