cwgraph3d faster refresh?

[mlloyd]

I'm using the cwgraph3d to plot a number of lines.  Right now, each line plots individually, and it takes "a while" to get everything plotted.  Is there no way to disable front panel updates, like with waveform graphs, to force everything to update at once after all the lines have been drawn?  I'm not too familiar with how ActiveX controls work...

Thanks for any insight you might have.

Hi mlloyd,

With LabVIEW's front panel controls you can set the front panel property Defer Panel Updates.  Unfortunately, this property (or other native LaVIEW options) won't affect ActiveX objects.  I took a look at the methods you can invoke with the cwgraph3d object and I'm afraid I didn't see any way to delay the front panel updating.   Some of our discussion forum gurus may have some suggestions, but it looks like a difficult problem.

Good luck,

Thanks for your response Megan.  I'm going to try to make my code that actually does the graphing much more efficient, which should help some.  I guess I'll wait to hear what others have to say!
