Overview
Coding that exemplifies how to programmatically enlarge plots while on the fly.
Description
Like many of you, I like to have many points of reference for my data. One of the best attributes of LabVIEW is the way it displays data in graphs. However, in order to see what is needed, the graphs and charts take up a lot of real estate on the front panel. I created this example to that you can have many "mini" graphs on the front panel and then when you are ready to view the information on that graph you can click on it to enlarge the graph. This particular example only has three graphs, but it can be easily expandable.
Requirements
LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)
Steps to Implement or Execute Code
1. Run the VI and notice the three different graphs located on the left.
2. Hover your mouse over the graph you want to enlarge, the graph will highlight when you hover your mouse over it.
3. Click on the graph to enlarge it.
4. Click on the enlarged graph to shrink it back down and put it back in place.
5. Stop the VI
