how to mark a text on XY plot

[hema]

I am plotting a single plot on XY Graph and i have chosen point style for my values as Circle. I want to have a text display along with the points on the Plot.
Is there a way to do this. That is for every Y value point ,may be next to that point a small text because i have to describe some points in the plot as 'high' or 'low'.


Thank you, Hema

You could add a cursor, and play with the cursor name and position. Cursors can be adressed programmatically using property nodes. Don't forget to select the "display cursor name" and the "snap to point" options.
See the attached example.

hi CC,

It works for single plot and one cursor. I have multiple plots and each of the plot should have multiple cursors in them. IS it possible to do this.

Thanks a lot. Hemaa

HI ,

i found out how to plot multiple cursors for multiple plots but the cursor name is not displayed correctly. Some times its visible, but out of place. sometimes it is not to be seen.

Hi Hema,

I modified CC's VI just a little bit. The limitation is that you can't create a cursor dynamically (at least I had trouble figuring out how). Therefore, you need to manually create at least as many cursors as you will need. You can then plot the data and then programmatically modify the cursor label and index. See the attached VI.

Hope this helps!

Cursors can be created dynamically. You need to use the "cursor list" property node, and append a cursor cluster to the existing cursor list. You can similarly remove a cursor. See the attached vi.
