Boolean constants should be 16 pixels wide and 16 pixels tall (currently 16 x 14)

Status: New

In a recent version of LabVIEW the height of Unbundle By Name and Bundle By Name elements, Local Variables and Global Variables was standardised to 16 pixels. This was a welcome improvement. (I'm fairly sure that the improvement was suggested by a LabVIEW Idea. I would have liked to link to that idea here but unfortunately I can't find it right now.)

 

The size of Boolean constants is currently 16 pixels (width) x 14 pixels (height). This should be standardised to 16 pixels x 16 pixels. A vertical stack of Boolean constants would better align with a stack of local variables, global variables, or UBN/BBN elements. They would also align better with the default sized LabVIEW grid (16 x 16 grid).

In general I don't like separate block diagram nodes that are "touching" each other. In my opinion a little separation improves readability by creating a clear distinction between multi-terminal nodes and simples nodes that are just stacked.

I'm not against the idea tough, because I could live with that change. It would just look weird to me.

Probably Same Height of Unbundle by Name / Terminal / Local Variable - NI Community

Thanks, Wiebe. That was it.
