Painting Error while displaying Waveform charts in subpanel

[Robst]

Hello:

I've been using subpanels for a while without problems. Recently I've noticed a painting error when I load a VI containing a Waveform Chart into the subpanel. The label of the Y Scale of the waveform chart  doesn't show, instead a black rectangle appears. This problem can be seen in the VI viewer.vi, in the subpanel examples of LabVIEW. I know this is not a big problem, but I'd like to know if there's a way to correct it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Robst,

This is a known issue with LabVIEW 7.x.  Happily, it has been corrected in LabVIEW 8.0.  There is a "quick and dirty" workaround (courtesy of Marc A http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=155006&requireLogin=False) that I hope you will find satisfactory.  The background of the Y axis label is clear by default.  If you manually change it to the color of the graph, then when you view it in a subpanel it will not turn black. 

I hope this helps!  Let us know if you have any further questions!
