Add a Contextual Zoom to Labview

[G_Remy_-_IUT_Cachan]

Hi all,

This proposal is about adding a contextual zoom for Labview, but it is NOT a full zoom feature!

According to NI policy: Sub-vi have to be used instead of large vi. So the zoom features are not encourage.

However, Zoom out is already existing right now in Labview using the Navigation Window (Ctrl + Shift + N) in full screen

as explained her :

So, why not transform this into a Contextual Zoom, it could be very efficient to navigate into a vi. as proposed here:

Hope, you will like this proposal

Would be a wonderful addition for people who get stuck refactoring someone else's existing (and ugly!) code.  I use the navigation window a lot for that reason, and would certainly take advantage of this.  The problem is that it encourages people to not write good code in the first place, so I have a hard time Kudo'ing.

why do you not kudo the idea if you like it?

i think that could be usefull 😮

Wart,

There is not now, has never been, and never will be a programming language under the sun that prevents bad programmers from writing bad code. I see a lot of discussions here along the lines of "it encourages new users to write bad code". It can be argued that clusters encourage new users to write bad code. Anything can be misused and will be. It is just part of the learning process. I see this idea as an improved navigation window or a shortcut to the navigation window. I don't think anyone would want to see the navigation window go away. There is old code out there where it comes in very handy.

This has me thinking of a new idea to post....
