Using cursor list to create cursors on XY Graph

HI,
I'm currently using the Cursor List property of an XYGraph to place cursors but for some reason it's only letting me place 9. I currently have an array taking 14 clusters defining cursors, where have the other 5 gone?
Has anyone eslse had a porblem like this before?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Rob

I believe the problem isn't the graph, but the conversion between
cluster and array.

In particular, the conversion between array and cluster needs to know
how many items you want in the cluster. You can popup and set to
whatever size you expect. The default is nine, which is why this is my
guess as to what is causing your array of cursors to be limited to nine.

If you aren't sure about this node, you might use Find to look for it.

Thanks but i don't think that's the problem but re-reading my post i can see why you thought this!

The property node takes a 1d array of clusters which has about 12 different elements.

The thing is if i put i probe right on the property node it shows every cluster in the array defining every cursor. But only 9 show up on the graph and if i place another property node with cursor list just to read from it only shows the 9.
Where have the other 5 gone?
Also what do you mean use Find to look for it?

Thanks

Sorry for the goose chase. You might make the cursor legend larger and
see if this affects the behavior. If this still doesn't work, copy the
graph and make a small VI that shows the behavior and either post it
here or send it to NI tech support.

Find is a feature in LV for helping you locate text or nodes. In this
case, when the node is obscure, you hit ctl-F, change the dialog from
text to object mode, and
choose the object you want it to find using the
palette. It is particularly good when you want to do something like
find all DLLs or all typecasts.
