programmatically change x and Y axis to log scale

[Xiaogang]

When a LabVIEW program is not running, right click the graph/chart/XY graph=(choose)=> Properties=(choose)=>Scales, we can set the X and Y axis to Log Scale.

However, if the program is running, can we create a control to let users to choose the axis to be normal scale or log scale?

....Users may need to use different axis scales especially when they analysis data from the graph.

Assuming you have only ONE X-axis scale and ONE Y-axis scale, it's easy:

Use a property node for the graph, and choose the XSCALE : MAPPING MODE and YSCALE : MAPPING MODE properties: Set them to 0 for linear or 1 for logarithmic, based on some switch on the front panel.

If you have more than one scale, you'll have to set the ACTIVE SCALE to 0, set MAPPING MODE to whatever you like, set ACTIVE SCALE to 1, set MAPPING MODE to whatever you like, etc., etc.

i ve found the way to change axis scale with your help :smileyhappy

cheers

Take a look at this example from the NI community
