how can i change the dimenson of a diagram using a property node

[nico fritzsche]

I want to change the dimension of a diagram during the vi is runing. The property node allows "read only". What can I do?

[Dennis_Knutson]

Could you explain what you mean by "dimension of a diagram"? Arrays have dimensions and a diagram is the source code window that's not normally visible when running a program so I don't understand what you're asking for.

[nico fritzsche]

I mean the the size (high and width) of the diagram or a graph on the sreen. The user can choose to see one or more diagrams on sreen. So I want adapting the appearance of the diagrams and graphs.

[Dennis_Knutson]

For a front panel (which is what I think you mean instead of diagram), you've got the properties Window Bounds and Origin that give you the ability to move it around and resize it. For a graph, use the Position and Bounds properties. Also, there's a lot of possibilites besides changing the size of front panel objects and the front panel itself. You could have the graphs display as pop-op subVIs and change the position of each subVI so that they tile on the screen or experiment with the visible property.

Nico,

Thank you for contacting National Instruments. I attached a screen shot of one of the properties that Dennis is talking about, for further clarification. This is the property you can use to control the front panel size and position. Have a great day!
