Allocate arbitrary string to Marker in X-Y Graph

[MKrueger]

Hi all,

Is it possible to allocate an arbitrary string to a given marker?

What I want to achieve: I have X-Y data, that I display normally in an
X-Y Graph. Lets say there are X-values ranging from 900 to 1100. I can
programatically set arbitrary markers, for instance at X=1000. But that
marker carries the label "1000", of course.

Now I would like to display something else at that place, for instance
"look at that".

I could do that by layout, but this would only work as long as the
x-scale does not change. But if the x-range of the displayed data would
change, for instance, from 950 to 1200, the marker would be somewhere
else but should still display the label "look at that" instead of "1000".

Any possibility to achieve this (using Labview 6.1).

Best regards
Martin

Hi MKrueger,

There are no property nodes or direct methods to implement this. I would suggest programatically moving around the "look at this" by checking if the range has changed. The range value is given by the "start range"  property node (XScale.RngStart) which can be used to calculate the new position. The bounds/position can also be used to calculate the actual position and it can be made invisible when out of range. Hope this helps.
