LabVIEW includes the following types of graphs and charts:

  • Waveform Graphs and Charts —Display data typically acquired at a constant rate.
  • XY Graphs —Display data acquired at a non-constant rate and data for multivalued functions.
  • Intensity Graphs and Charts —Display 3D data on a 2D plot by using color to display the values of the third dimension.
  • Digital Waveform Graphs —Display data as pulses or groups of digital lines.
  • Mixed Signal Graphs —Display data types accepted by waveform graphs, XY graphs, and digital waveform graphs. Also accept clusters that contain any combination of those data types.
  • 2D Graphs —Display 2D data on a 2D front panel plot.
  • 3D Graphs —Display 3D data on a 3D front panel plot.
Note 3D graph controls are available only in the LabVIEW Full and Professional Development Systems.
  • ActiveX 3D Graphs —Display 3D data on a 3D plot in an ActiveX object on the front panel.
Note ActiveX 3D graph controls are supported only on Windows in the LabVIEW Full and Professional Development Systems.
