programatically change intensity graph z scale height

I want to change the height of an intensity graph, which I can do by changing the property Plot Area->Size->Height, but the height of the Z scale doesn't change with it, and there is no separate height property for it.

Is there a workaround for this?

This is LabVIEW 2015.

I looked into changing the z scale height for an intensity graph programmatically using property nodes and could not find a way to do it. Dragging the scale down was the only way I could find to change the size of the z scale. If I find a programmatic workaround I will post it here.

The property you want is ZScale.Area Height (it's one of the two sub-property of ZScale.Bounds).  At first, I thought you were worried about how to adjust the "height" of the Intensity dimension (which is trickier) ...

The ZScale.Area Height property is read-only.

 

For some reason, NI has made the Bounds properties of charts/graphs not writable, only the plot area.

The Z axis only has "Bounds" properties, no "plot area size" properties.

I was playing around with it yesterday as well and could not find anything suitable. All I found was an old post from 14 years ago where Jim Kring says it is a "ramp object" not exposed by NI yet. 

 

I do think it is an odd behavior that it doesn't resize with the graph, perhaps it could go in the idea exchange.

I've found this is still the case as of 2023 Q3.
