Graph vertical X axis values

I cannot figure out how to do a Vertical Arrangement of the X values on my Waveform Graph. Such a configuration allows a smaller defined grid spacing. Can someone tell me how this is done?

Hi RL,

Unfortunately there's no way to set the x values to display in a vertical arrangement using graph properties. There is a workaround that involves hiding the x-scale labels on the waveform graph. Then, create the strings you want to set for each tick mark and right-click to set the Vertical Arrangement to Stacked.

There is a KnowledgeBase article discussing a similar fix:
How Can I Customize the X-Axis Labels On My LabVIEW Graph So That It Shows Vertical Text Labels?

I have also attached a simple VI demonstrating this workaround.

I will also make sure that the issue is filed as a Product Suggestion for Labvie
w in our database.

Thanks again and have a great day!
