wire appearance is different outside frames

[magyar]

I know I should know this, but I don't. 
In my code, wires from cotrols to case frames, Loop frames or any frames are sometimes have a different appearance than inside the frame. The wire seems to have a very thin wire wrapped around it...
If amyone knows why plese, tell me! See the attached exmple.

Hi magyar,

this is very basic LabVIEW knowledge: wires show their datatype by color and thickness. The thicker the wire, the more dimensions of the array.

And another very basic LabVIEW knowledge: all this is easily found by reading what the context help window tells you about the wire(s)…

And even more very basic LabVIEW knowledge: the appearance of a tunnel at those structure borders tells you about it's behaviour!

When you don't remember those 3 very basic things you should (re)take the free online LabVIEW beginner resources offered by NI on their website! 😄

Thanks for the fast reply. What you wrote I do know. But that is not wat i was asking. Please look at the attached image.

On the left the boolean is a straight lile with a sinusoid superimposed on it. On the right, It is just a straight line.

Why?

forgot the image..

That "shadow" (or sine) around the wire indicates constant folding. You can switch the display of constant folding on or off in the options.

Thanks!

I recently, for the very first time, I turned on constant folding.

Hi magyar,

the next time you want to show as images with fine details you should NOT use JPG. Use PNG instead…

GerdW,

You are right.

I used the Windows Snipping Tool and by default it wants to save snip as jpg.

Thank you for your time.
