Cursor Name on Graph Not Visible (though set to be visible)

[DonRoth]

In the Graph Properties page, I set the different cursors to have their names be visible on the waveform graph.  Yet, I do not see the names.  Is there any logical explanation for this or do I have a corrupt waveform graph.

Thanks,

Don

FWIW, I've tried your VI here and cannot get the names to appear where I can see them. Yet when I drop a new XY graph on the panel I can get the name to show up just fine. You may be right about it being corrupt.

I too have observed this on several occasions in my programs. Deleting the cursors and recreating them also causes them to reappear.

The VI in which this happens makes use of a property node to rename the cursors while the program is running; perhaps this is related to the problem?

[DonRoth]

My problem is that even when I do a 'replace' with a new XY graph, I have the same problem.

I don't want to just delete the graph and place a new one on the front panel because I have property nodes, references, and local variables associated with the graph.  So it won't be trivial to have to redo.  Still seeking other alternatives.

Sincerely,

Don

You don't have to replace the graph. Delete the cursors and then re-create them, and the names will be displayed. (Unfortunately, it looks like you'll have to delete all of them, but you can still refer to them afterwards as you did originally.)

[kehander]

Actually, you can even do this programmatically.

(Right-click the CrsrList property and select Create->Constant to get the empty array.)

I still wish I knew why this happened in the first place. Clearly it is not expected behavior.

The labels are there, their offset is WAY off.  To get them to where I could see/manipulate them I brought them to the center and then ran this little code snippet.

This for now was the easiest alternative.  Bravo and thanks.....Don

Did you do that in LabVIEW 8, jasonhill? That property doesn't seem to exist in LV7.

[DonRoth]

Is the label offset a LabVIEW 8 cursor property?  I don't believe it is exposed in LabVIEW 7.1.

(I will be upgrading soon, LabVIEW 8 has been sitting on my desk for 4? months as I have just been too tied up to deal with any possible ramifications from the upgrade including any compatibility issues with Vision 7.1).

Sincerely,

Don
