Change Graph Plot and Background Color in LabVIEW

[Caleb_W]

1. Overview:

This VI shows how to use property nodes to change the plot and background color of a Waveform Chart programmatically

2. Description: 

Changing the properties of the elements in the front panel is a very common requirement in LabVIEW applications. To implement this, is necessary to perform callings to the VI server through the property or invoke nodes. In this case, the example shows how to use the property nodes in order to change the plot color and the background color of a waveform chart while the application is running.

3. Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

4. Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Run the VI
2. When changing the plot color, the color of the line that plots the graph will change to the one selected
3. When changing the background color, the background of the graph will change its appearance
