Array Element Spacing

Does anyone know how to change the inter-element spacing on a simple vertically arranged string array indicator?
 
What I am trying to achieve is to make the elements "bunch up" together tighter so more elements can be viewed within the same given space.
 
Can this be achieved using custom controls and if so how?
 
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

HI ATE man,

Just edit your indicator. See example. Is this what you want ?

Hi KC

Thanks! Thats just what I am after! A minimal gap between each element. When you normally create an array indicator LabVIEW seems to have a default spacing between each element which didnt seem to be adjustable. (But obviously is somehow!).

One last question, can you fill me in on how you went about editing the deafult appearance of your original array indicator (string). Then I will be fully equipped to do this into the future.

Thanks

Well you can edit the controls and indicators with 'customize control' from your edit menu.

Take a string indicator, select it, choose 'customize control',  change to 'customize mode' and adjust the size. See the manual for more details.

Then you can use this modified indicator in your array.
