angular graphs

[coolmatthew]

Hello guys! 

I am trying to produce graphs like those in the JPG  (the ones on the right), to show the variation of angles as my program runs.

An expert suggested the following solution to me (please refer to the vi attached). It is really cool, but I couldn't find any way to customize it, like changing the tick interval, (what I want is 0, 15,30,45,60,75,90,... 345), changing the colour of the dial(not the needle).

I am wondering if anyone knows how to do thoses, or, if anyone has a better solution?

Thank you so much for your generous help!

Right-click on the dial (in the block diagram or front panel) and scroll down to create->property node. You'll find all kinds of things you can change, in fact the last item in the first column (stuff to change) is "Scale". This includes the range, intervals between ticks, color, etc. One good thing about this is that on the block diagram they can be wired to be written to, so you can change the properties on the fly (manually or programatically) as you run your VI.

If you needen't to change the dial's color when the vi is executed, you also can use the tools palette to change the color of a Frontpanel Element

Changing the ticks etc. works best with the property node camerond already suggested "right click (on dial)>create>property node>scale>range"
