Customizing the Appearance of Graphs and Charts

You can modify elements of graphs and charts, such as legends and scales.

Right-click the graph or chart, select Visible Items, and choose among the following options:
  • Plot Legend: Defines the color and style of plots. Resize the legend to display multiple plots.

    This option does not apply to intensity graphs or intensity charts.

  • Scale Legend: Defines labels for scales and configures scale properties.
  • Graph Palette: Allows you to move cursors (graphs only), zoom, and pan on a graph or chart while a VI runs.
  • Cursor Legend: Displays a marker at a defined point coordinate. You can display multiple cursors on a graph.

    This option applies only to graphs.

  • X Scrollbar: Scrolls through the data in the graph or chart. Use the scroll bar to view data that the graph or chart does not currently display.
  • X Scale and Y Scale: Formats the x-scales and y-scales.
  • Digital Display: Displays the numeric value of the chart.

    This option applies only to waveform charts.

Note These options are not available for 3D graphs.
