Multiplot XY graph won't save individual plot characteristics

[joemcm63]

I'm using a multiplot XY graph to display two sets of ordered pairs.  Under the XY graph properties, I set "Plot 0" to white and "Plot 1" to red filled to negative infinity.  This works fine while I still have the VI open.

However, when I close and reopen the VI, any changes I made to "Plot 1" are gone.  Is there any way that LabVIEW will save the XY graph properties for both plots?

I would like to have the second plot fill to negative infinity.  I'm using LabVIEW 8.2.1 and I have attached the VI and screenshots of before and after opening the file.

Thanks,

Joe

I tried your example, right clicked on the graph and selected the graph properties as you showed in your example. As long as I save the VI after I make that change, I can close the VI (even exit LabVIEW) and when I reload the VI, the graph properties are still set correctly.

It works correctly for me. Now I'm wondering what is different between my setup and yours. I can't think of any LabVIEW Options that would turn off saving of front panel settings.

I can get the "Port 0" properties to save, but not "Port 1."  Could you post a copy of the example after you saved please?  Thanks!

Resize the Plot Legend to show the 2nd plot. This way, the properties of the second plot are also saved.

Thanks, that worked!

Ah yes, JB. That would probably be it. I resized the plot legend to change the plot settings by right clicking there as well as by using the graph properties. So that would be the difference. Good catch.
