Overview
The example demonstrates how to center a 2D Compass Plot.
Description
By default, a LabVIEW compass plot only displays those quadrants of the polar coordinate system that are needed to display the vectors passed to the function. There is currently no available setting to display all four quadrants by default.
Therefore the example adds four vectors with appropriate length that reside on the X and Y axis in positive and negative direction. With these extra vectors all four quadrants are needed to display the compass plot completely.
Requirements
Software
- LabVIEW 2012 Base Development System (or compatible)
Hardware
- No hardware is necessary to use this example VI
Steps to Implement or Execute Code
- Open the attached file
- Select if you want to center the Compass Plot
- Specify the vector you want to plot
- Run the VI
