Display 4 Quadrants in XY Graph

[Andy_C.]

Overview

This VI programmatically sets X&Y scale grid colors to transparent then creates X&Y cursor positions to divide the XY Graph into 4 quadrants. The quadrants can be altered by changing the Cursor Style control.

---

Description

The user can change the cursor style by changing the control in the front panel. This is useful for plotting bi-polar sources or photodetector. The property nodes are located inside of an event structure so that the properties of the XY Graph only get updated when the Cursor Style value changes. The timeout is set to 100 milliseconds; therefore, if the value doesn't change in 100 ms or less, it will run the code located in the timeout case. The timeout case is a great place to write to the graph or perform any calculations.

 Requirements: LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible). Hardware: none.
