How do you set the size / bounds of a waveform chart at run time?

I have a plot area that I would like to fill with as many waveform charts as the user specifies (at run time). The "bounds" property is read only and I haven't noticed an additional "size" property for a waveform chart as there is for a button. Is there a way to set the size of a waveform chart at run time, and if not, why not? (Labview 6.1)

Use the Plot Area:Size property.

Thank you for the answer. It works. I assumed incorrectly that the plot area size was the size of the plot area within the chart. I should have tried it anyway. Thanks again.

Look at it a little more carefully, I suspect that your assumption is only half wrong. The property does only resize the plot area--LV resizes the frame to fit the resized plot on it's own.

You'll need to bear this in mind when you're figuring-out what size to set the property to.
