Why does x-axis change automatically?

[Mnuet]

Hi,

  I am developing a user interface to display multiple graphs based upon user selection of no. of graphs to be displayed in one window. While I was developing my application when I observed a strange behaviour.

 1) The label of x-axis (Time) disappeared (into plot area or so). I was able to re-cover it by resizing graph and plot area.

 2) The space between x-axis ticks and plot area increased

 3) I could not restore graph to previous state using right-click menu options.

For reference I have attached the screenshot as well. Before the problem the x-axis of upper graph was similar to the x-axis of lower graph (in screenshot). However after this problem I could not locate a way to correct it. I do not think there is any graph property using which this change may happen.  Also for me there was no reason to observe this kind of behavior.

   I had observed similar behavior in "Lab VIEW Signal Express" in which for one out of 6-graphs, the x-axis moved into plot area leaving its original location as blank.

Can anyone help me in getting around this problem?

Thanks & Regards

Have you tried "right-click...advanced...reset scale layout"?

Hi Mnuet,

Do you have auto scale on for the axis?

Hi,

   The problem was related with "x-scale.Top " property. I had to set this value programmaticaly in order to get rid of this problem. The auto-scale was ON for x-asis.

Hi altenbach / Claire R / Everyone,

   I got rid of previous problem by passing value to X.SCale.Top property. However now the problem is appearing in different way. Please see attached the picture. Both graphs have same parameters/properties passed to each programmatically. But the lower graph is not only hiding the X-axis but it seems as if the lower border (of x-axis) has gone up to mid of plot area so that the y-axis is also partially cut.

   I do get my graph reset by using "advanced...reset scale layout" but this is happening at runtime. What may be the possible reason behind it? How can I avoid it by passing value to some property or invoking node etc?

Actually I resize plot area programmatically when user changes the no. of graphs to be displayed in a fixed height pane. While reducing size below a certain threshold, I also change X-axis style so that X.scale markers are hidden (X-axis style changed to 2 from 0). Now even if I change X.axis style programmatically, the x-axis does not show up (or is not hidden) while moving back and forth.

  You help will be highly valuable for me.

You don't expect your mechanic to diagnose your car problems of you mimic the bad sound over the phone, so don't expect us to troubleshoot a program by looking at a picture. 🙂

SO: Please make a simple VI that shows the problem and attach it here. Also include steps to reproduce the problem. Thanks! 🙂
