Maybe some programmers charge by the squarepixel....

Looks ok on my monitor, Phillips 55"    I actually do run into issue with monitor resolution/size. We frequently have meetings in "video enable" conference rooms, with nice projection computer displays, but when I log onto my desktop machine to display my stuff the 24" 1920 X1200 displays badly on the 50" 1024X768 screen. My pretty GUI's, which actually are designed for a different laptop screen, look pretty lame.

That has been an issue, when we started recommending that diagrams fit on one page vertical by 1 1/.2 scrolling horizontal, the screens were usually 640X480, so the vi's weren't too "busy" if designed right. Now with HD large screens (my personal laptop is HD 18.4") you can fit way too much on a diagram!

Another example.  Wild speculation by the poster ensued about how some parts of the code must be behaving in a way that violate LabVIEW's dataflow rules.

Silly idea tht is much too extreme to even concider... but I share.

LV needs a naration mode for noobs. We need a nice soothing voice (something like "Bitching Betty" used in fighters) that will narate a diagram in execution highlighting mode. It would say thing like;

We start out by reading all of the nodes that do not have any data dependancies then ....

maybe that would help get the message out.

It's called "Nagging Nora" this side of the pond.

Also, "pull up".

I don't think Microsoft is using the annoying paper clip now. Perhaps NI could resurrect him.

There are things you shouldn't joke about (warning: audio):

Hah, I like that there seems to be a vocal emphasis on "trying"
