Re: How to have more than one vertical axis in graphs...

As a matter of fact, there is a library of dual-Y-axis controls, developed
by National Instruments, but for some reason it did not make it into the
official release. I've been using it under v.5.01 quite successfully. The
only problem with it is that if you try to edit it using control editor, LV
crashes (under v.5.1 and WinNT 4).

They were given away at NIWeek last year. As noted, they aren't part of the
regular package because the programmatic access isn't complete.

I'm running into the same problem... can somewhere give me a pointer
to where I might find a library like this? I have done the "put
the y-axis on the right side of the second graph" and it works pretty
well, but I'd like to see how other people might do it.

Hopefully the LabView folk will also implement a scrollbar for X-Y plots
(like they have for the charts) sometime... sometimes strip charts aren't
sampled evenly.

Where can we find the library for dual-Y-axis controls?

This is built into LV6, and while possible in previous versions it
requires a bit of programming and multiple UI controls. If you are
using LV6, popup on the Y scale and choose Duplicate. You can also
popup on a scale and move it to the other side or delete it as long as
it isn't the last one.

Hi,
Is it possible to add and delete programatically Y Scales of a Waveform Graph with the property nodes? I've been looking for this but I haven't found it. And "Swap Slides"? thank you very much.
