Image Display: Need Help

[Justin D]

Hi Dushant,

I wasn't able to determine what's going wrong in your VI.  I would suggest that you greatly simplify the code in order to make it easier to find the error in the code.  Maybe your code could just load the file and then display the image with the axis on it.  As it is right now it would take me hours to trace through your code to find out what's going wrong.

Justin,

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your help.

I have modified the code and make it very simple. Please try to run this code and let me know why both spread-sheet are not displayed properly.

"Axis Property MOD.vi" is the main code and the others are subvis.

I'll take a look at this and see what I can find.

Dushyant,

It looks like your problem is caused by the scale of the y axes.  Since the area included with the "bounding rectangle" includes both the y-axis numbers and the x-axis numbers, when you specify the bounding rectangle you are specifying where the numbers on the left start.  When you go between the two images the y scales change as well.  On the first one the top of the y-axis is "-10500.0".  The corresponding number for the second image is "5000.0".  When you look at the two numbers side by side...

"-10500.0"

"5000.0"

...you can see that the first number is "wider" than the second one.  So, when you change the scale of the graph it appears to shift the y-axis to the left or to the right.  There are a few different ways you could go about fixing this.  You could modify the draw axes VI to be bound by the actual axis lines instead of the the numeric labels on the left.  You could also draw the axes first, then determine where the axis lines are and then shift your picture over to accomodate for this.

Hi Justin,

I am sorry, I could not do as you said.

Actually I was thinking the same thing. It was already mentioned in last post of 1st page contains attachment "Labview_Problem_Detail.doc".

I tried to modify "draw axes VI", but could not succeed.

thanks,
Dushyant

Dushyant,

An easier way to do this might be to pad your y-axis values with zeros so everything lines up.  For example, you could use:

"5,000.00" instead of

"5,000"

This way, you could keep everything at a constant width.

using "5,000.00" instead of "5,000" would not help.

For instance "-10500" contains 6 digits while "5000" only 4 digits if I converts everythings into integer.

Also "-10500.00" contains 9 digits while "5000,00" only 7 digits if I keep it real.

If I could write
5000 as 005000 or 5000.00 as 005000.00, then my display would be proper.

If you go deep inside the picture vi's, find the Draw Scale.vi, inside this is the Draw Text at point.vi. This vi puts the text on the image. If you modify the strings going into this block, maybe you can get what you want. You should be able to use a format into string/number to string and pad with spaces on the left to make all of the labels the same length. I'm using 7.0, so I can't open your files.

Thanks Unclebump,
I really appreciate your help.

I did as you suggested and it worked mostly. However, there is a couple of (new) issues and I would appreciate if you can address those.

I have saved codes as LV 7 and so you can open it.

Please read the attached word document to understand what I am trying to do.

Thanks again,
DK

The zip file that you attached has two of each filename and they are spread across many folders. Some are 7.1 format and others 7.0
