print front panel

[PaulG.]

I have been going through messages for a while but just can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. I need to print a waveform chart that has two plots that update at about 10Hz. Simple enough, right? Problem is that the report vi's have no way I can see to easily enlarge the image. I tried putting a larger chart in a sub vi that prints after executing but the chart only get part of the data when I run it. Then I tried the invoke get image method but can't find an indicator for the image data. Is there a way to print an enlarged waveform chart image? It would be even better if I can just print a front panel of a subvi with the same data on the waveform chart that appears on my top-level VI.

What I have done in these situations is to have a graphs that is sized to printout the size that I want. I then update the graph from the program data, grab an image of the graph using the Get Image method, and save the image as a jpeg file. I can then either printhout this file or include it in a standard report.

OR you can use Draw Flattened Pixmap.vi to turn it into a form that will go into a picture indicator

OR you can create a VI with the graph on its front panel that is set to print itself when it finishes executing - or which you print programatically

i tried changing the size of the image i created, but in the standard report its not working well. in an html report, the image fits well and is centred.

why is it so?

i use PDFCreator as printer.
