Inputs/Outputs

  • ccclst.png [user-specified font] —

    [user-specified font] specifies the specific font characteristics for the text to draw.

    The VI ignores this input unless desired font is User-specified Font.

  • cstr.png Font Name: —

    Font Name specifies the font to use for the text.

    If you misspell the font name or specify a font that is not installed on the computer, the operating system selects a font.

  • ci16.png Size —

    Size specifies the size of the font in points.

  • cbool.png Strikeout? —

    Strikeout? specifies if the text appears in strikeout. If Strikeout? is TRUE, the text appears in strikeout.

  • cbool.png Italic? —

    Italic? specifies if the text appears in italics. If Italic? is TRUE, the text appears in italics.

  • cbool.png Underline? —

    Underline? specifies if the text is underlined. If Underline? is TRUE, the text appears underlined.

  • cbool.png Outline? —

    Outline? specifies if the text is outlined. If Outline? is TRUE, the text appears outlined.

  • cbool.png Shadow? —

    Shadow? specifies if the text has a shadow. If Shadow? is TRUE, the text appears in shadow.

  • cbool.png Bold? —

    Bold? specifies if the text is bold. If Bold? is TRUE, the text appears bold.

  • cenum.png desired font(Application) —

    desired font specifies the text font.

  • ccclst.png scale definition —

    scale definition specifies the pixel coordinates and values for both ends of the scale, and the numeric format and precision for the scale numbers.

  • ci16.png coordinate 1 —

    coordinate 1 contains the pixel coordinates for the left of a vertical scale or the top of a horizontal scale.

  • cdbl.png value 1 —

    value 1 contains the minimum value for the scale numbers.

  • ci16.png coordinate 2 —

    coordinate 2 contains the pixel coordinates for the right of a vertical scale or the bottom of a horizontal scale.

  • cdbl.png value 2 —

    value 2 contains the maximum value for the scale numbers.

  • cbool.png log?(F) —

    log? specifies if the scale is logarithmic.

  • cnclst.png fmt and prec —

    fmt and prec specifies the numeric format and precision for the scale numbers.

  • cenum.png format —

    format specifies the numeric format for the scale numbers.

    Hex
  • cu8.png precision —

    precision specifies the precision for the scale numbers. The default is 1.

  • ccclst.png scale attributes —

    scale attributes describes the format for the scale.

  • cbool.png horizontal —

    horizontal indicates whether to draw a horizontal or vertical scale.

  • cbool.png left/top —

    left/top indicates whether to draw the text to the left for a vertical scale and the top for a horizontal scale (TRUE), or to the right for a vertical scale and the bottom for a horizontal scale (FALSE).

  • cbool.png draw bar —

    draw bar indicates whether to draw a bar as part of the scale.

  • cu32.png line color —

    line color specifies the color of the line.

    You can wire a color box constant to this input.

  • cu32.png text color(black) —

    text color is the color of the text. The default is black.

    You can wire a color box constant to this input.

  • i1dcclst.png scale specs —

    scale specs is an array of clusters containing the coordinates and labels you can use in the scale.

  • ii16.png coordinate —

    coordinate specifies the coordinates to use in the scale.

  • istr.png label —

    label specifies the labels to use in the scale.

    • Wire the scale specs output of this VI to the scale specs input of the Draw Scale VI to draw a scale.
