indicators and controls on block diagram

[Vasilich2004]

I prefer

- not have them and have only local variable (actually, plots work weird with its local variable)

- have them in one place, like left top corner

- have them in 2 places. left side has controls and roght side has indicators

Also right click on local variable + Property must show the same dialog as the same action on control/indicator

There are no indicators or controls on the block diagram, just control terminals. Is that what you mean?

So what is the idea you are suggestiong? Show us a picture!

> plots work weird with its local variable

What is the definition of weird here?

> not have them and have only local variable

It looks like you are trying to basically write text based code, abandoning all elegance and advantages of dataflow, using local variables as "variables", which they are not. Right?

I agree. It sounds like you're trying to turn LabVIEW into a text-based programming language.

This could be interesting, and might be worth discussing.
