Can the value of an indicator be shown vertically?

[User_1979]

Hi,

I would like to show vertically the alue of an indicator (like shown in the attached file). It doesn't seem possible. I have tried clicking right but there is no access to this paramater. I have also tried using a property node but I get a message error.

I have missed something?

Thanks for your help,

For the most part, that option is not "built-in". A Picture Control can be used by inserting the text with your desired orientation.

You could also add a caption and change the vertical arrangement to counterclockwise. Write to a Caption.Text property node.

Hi Ben and Dennis,

Thanks for your answers. I have used the subtitle of the indicator to wright vertically and then the property node to make it show the value of the indicator. I don't know what "caption" means Dennis but it seems to be what you have told me to try.

Many thanks.

Caption is a property of controls.  You could call it a subtitle, but the property is called "caption".

I know this is a really old post, but I've been looking for a way to do this as well and haven't found it. I then thought about resizing the control to appear vertical and use LabVIEW's autowrapping feature to get where I need to go. Thought I would share with the community if anyone else runs across it
