How to set the properties of plots in XY graph via VI Scripting

[HB.]

Hi,

Is there any way out to change the properties of XY graph plots through VI Scripting? 

From main VI, I create an XY graph in another VI through VI scripting. I now want to change the Plot legend names, and their styles etc. I notice that these properties can be set up in the new VI (See screen shot Graph Property Node in NEW VI.jpg). However, I couldn't see these properties by calling the property node of XY graph reference in main VI (see screen shot ).

Thanks for the due response.

Regards

Hello HB,

I see plot.names when I scroll down a bit further. No scripting required.

Hope this helps.

Hi UliB

Thanks for the reply. 

I want to do it through VI scripting. As I mentioned in my post that plot.names is visible to me as well when creating a property in the same VI. However, I want to set the property of XY graph from another VI through VI Scripting. 

I hope you got my point.

Hello HB,

maybe you need to use a XYGraph refnum rather than a graphChart refnum.
