annotate a graph - LV7.1

[lmtis]

Hi all,

Is there a way to annotate a graph in LV7.1?  I just want to put labels on a graph to identify certain peaks.  Easy in LV8, but I can't figure out how to do it in 7.1.

I think you ve to use the Plot Name property.

BTW, how do you do this in LV 8?

Can you post some code ?

Open the example finder and search for "programmatically annotate a graph".  I haven't actually used it yet, as my deployed systems are all LV7.1.

I didnt think that there was graph annotations in 7.1 I know there are graph annotations in 8.2+.  You can but a cursor at the peak X,Y and make the cursor transparent, show the cursor name where the name = the annote you wish (ie Peak A).  You can even tie this in to the peak find so your annotations  move with the graph.

You can fake this with cursors. If you create a cursor, you can set it's
text and position. If you hide the lines and cross, the text remains.

It it limited, but might be what you need. The number of cursors is limited
in 7.1, I thing 56 cursors or something.

Another option is to use the picture control graphs. It will be a lot of
work, but you can do anything you want with it.

See the "Programmatically Annotate a Graph.vi" example. (Type annotation in
the example finder).

Wiebe,

There is no such VI in LV 7.1.

Or, am I missing something ?

Please see reply #10 in this thread where CC hacks the cursor list.

Partha,

I think you are correct.  I cannot find it in 7.1 either.

Thanks Weibe, while not as nice as the annotation feature in LV8, that will certainly get the job done.  Much appreciated.
