Annotations error

[Neffer]

Hey

I am having an odd experience with the Annotation for xy-graphs.

First:

I created a list of annotations, and plots that to my graph.

This worked fine.

Then:

I added a secondary y-scale to the graph, and wanted to create annotation for this scale also.

These annotations on the secondary scale never showed up, but no error appeared.

And then:

I tried back and booth to get it to work, and suddenly the annotations on the primary scale disappeared too.

Frustrations:

I tried even more to track down the bug, and now no annoations are shown at all, but at least the annotation property gives an error.

I have added a very simple example of what I Want to plot.

I hope somebody can help me

Have a look on the LabVIEW shipped example for annotation property node, which might help you.

Programmatically Annotate a Graph VI in the labview\examples\general\graphs directory for an example of using the Annotation List property.

Well thanks for the advice... I have looked at the example-code, and as I wrote, it actually worked with a single scale graph.

Have you tried to open my code I have attached? Do you get the same error? And can you see what I have done wrong?

You pointed to a second x-scale, but you only have one x-scale defined (annotation 0, below the 0.8, in your image above). Check the properties.

In summary:

• your graph has two y-axes and one x-axis.
• your property nodes tries to address one y-axis but two x-axes.
• The first annotiation tries to use the second x-axis, which does not exist.

Thanks for the reply.

I can se I have made a copy-paste error then i made this example. You are absolutely right, I have swaped the x- and y-axis.

This clears out the error, but it only brings me back to my original problem (which did not create any errors):

I do NOT se any anotations that have been placed on the secondary y-axis.

I have uploaded the corrected code, and screenshots. Can you confirm, that only the anotation on the primary y-axis is shown?

Ahh, now i finally got the point!!!!

It is the "Label Offset:Y" that is the problem. The number is connected to the scaling of the y-axis. (I thougt it was in pixel) A number arround 0.35 brings back the annotation on the secondray y-axis.

Thanks for help anyway
