Is there a way to keep xy-graph area from resizing on Y scale change?

Hi all,

 I'm a relatively new Labview user, and I got through the hard stuff pretty easy, but now I'm having a problem with XY-Graph area resizing anytime I change the Y scale to a number with more digits than the previous (ex: from 10 to 10,000). I have a series of XY-Graphs placed on top of eachother, and they all reference the same X-Value, but the auto-resize causes them to become mis-aligned on scale change. Any help would be appreciated. I am using LabView v8.2. I am hoping for a simple solution, but I am not afraid of a complex one.

Thanks,
Tim

RIght-click your graphs and unselect "advanced ... autoadjust scales". Voila! 😄

Tim,

 

I think what you may be seeing is the effect of the size of the numbers on the Y scale.  If you resize the graphs to give a big enough border on the left for the longest number (do not forget signs and exponents), then the graph area should not shrink on rescale.
