Solved!
Go to solution

Hi,

 

I am drawing some frames or boxes using the patterns in the "Decorations" control in labview.

Is there other way to set the size of the frames or boxes rather than to drag them? also how can I change the color of the borders?

 

Thanks,

Joyce

Select the item.  Go to the Resize Objects button on the toolbar.  Pick the last one which shows a resize within a dialog bubble.  Now a dialog pops up which lets you define the height and width.

 

To color something, Shift right click to bring up the toolbox.  Pick the paint brush.  Click on the thing you want to change such as the border.  It might now be the wrong color, so right click which brings up the color picker.  Now select the color you actually want.  If you want something to be transparent, pick the T at the upper right corner of the color dialog box.

One thing that I did oversee for some time is the hint in the color selection dialog: 'Space bar toggles color selection'.
