How to append a graph to a Report?

[Hansa]

Hello Folks,

I would like to append a graph and its data in table format to a final Report. I found the report.vi for appending table, but how should I append the graph? I am using LabView 8.0. Thanks for your help in advance.

Hello,

You can use the "Append Control Image to Report.vi" to append the image of a graph on your front panel to your report.  If you are using the Report Generation Toolkit, you can add a Microsoft Graph to your Excel/Word report with the Microsoft Graph VIs.

Hello Darren,

Thanks for your reply. I want the portion of front panel image only i.e. graph only to be appended to my report. So how should I select the "graph" only. Thanks.

With the "Append Control Image to Report.vi", you wire in a Control Reference (or the name of the control), and only the image of the graph (not the entire front panel) gets appended to the report.  If you want only the plot area of the graph, then you should customize the appearance of the graph before appending it to the report, i.e. make all parts of the graph invisible/transparent except the plot area.
