how to plot arcs in XYGraph using LabVIEW 5.0
with known radius , origin and the two points between which the arc should be drawn.

and

what is picture control tool kit?

In order to plot arcs in an XYGraph in LabVIEW, you have to generate two arrays of data (X[],Y[]) using the Sine Pattern VI found under signal generation.

Understanding that a circle can be plotted with (cos x, sin x) you can use the Sine Pattern VI with a phase shift to generate a circle. Then, depending on the arc you want you can manipulate the array of X,Y points to get the segment you need.

I have attached an example that plots a circle given radius, origin in LabVIEW 5.0.1.

There is also a draw arc function in the Pictures tool kit. You can find this under the graph and chart directory-
