Configuring Axes and Scales of Graphs and Charts

Understand how to configure settings for the axes and scales of multiple types of graphs and charts in LabVIEW.

Configuring the X-Axis and Y-Axis on a Graph or Chart
Understand the basic configuration options for the axes and scales of graphs and charts.
Formatting the Scales of Graphs and Charts
You can customize the display format of the values that appear on the axes of graphs and charts. You can also customize the appearance of the scales themselves.
Changing the Format and Precision of Graph and Chart Axes
Change the format of an axis to display a different numeric format or time format on the axis of a graph or chart. Change the precision to specify the number of digits the axis displays.
Using Scale Legends
Use the scale legend to label scales and configure scale properties on a graph or chart.
Configuring Autoscaling
All graphs and charts, except for the 3D graphs, automatically enable autoscaling. Autoscaling means that the horizontal and vertical scales automatically adjust to fit the data you wire to graphs and charts.
Adding Multiple Scales to Graphs or Charts
Use multiple scales on a graph or chart to accommodate plots that do not share a common x-scale or y-scale. Only certain types of graphs and charts support multiple scales.
Adding Custom Markers to X- and Y-Scales on a Graph or Chart
By default, LabVIEW automatically creates scale markers for graphs and charts. You can instead set your own markers on custom values you define along the scale.
Scrolling through a Graph or Chart
You can add a scroll bar to the x-axis of a graph or chart to review data that previously appeared in the plot area.
