GraphChart Properties Table

Property ID	Short Name (English)	Description	R/W	RTE
6341C10	ActXScl	Gets or sets the active or current X-scale of a graph or chart. This property is similar to the Scale option on the Scales page of the Properties dialog box.	R/W	X
6341C11	ActYScl	Gets or sets the active or current Y-scale of a graph or chart. Call this property before setting other properties on a specific scale. This property is similar to the Y-Scale item on the shortcut menu of a chart or graph. This property is similar to the Scale option on the Scales page of the Properties dialog box.	R/W	X
6341C1A	AutoscaleDelay	Number of seconds that elapse between two successive autoscale operations when the scale has to shrink to fit the data. This delay has no effect on autoscale operations that happen in response to data that causes the scale to grow in range.	R/W	X
6341C1B	Frame Color	Gets or sets the frame color of the graph or chart. The numeric value of this property corresponds to the color a color box constant displays for the same value. That color value is expressed as a hexadecimal number with the form RRGGBB. The first two digits control the red color value. The second two digits control the green color value. The last two digits control the blue color value.	R/W	X
6341C15	Flavor		R	X
6341C0F	ActPaletteTool	Sets the tool that is currently selected on the graph palette. 0 is the selection cursor and 1 is the panning tool. 2-7 are the zoom tools: 2 is Zoom to Rectangle, 3 is X-zoom, 4 is Y-zoom, 5 is Zoom to Fit, 6 is Zoom Out about Point, and 7 is Zoom In about Point. Note The Zoom to Fit tool zooms in or out to autoscale the graph or chart. Because the Zoom to Fit tool does not have a cursor, LabVIEW continues to display the cursor for the previous selected tool.	R/W	X
6341C03	PaletteVis	Shows the graph palette.	R/W	X
6341C19	Plot Bounds	Gets and sets the plot area bounds for the Graph and Chart. If it is a stacked chart, this property returns the bounds of the first plot area. You cannot set the plot area bounds for a stacked chart. Elements: Name Description Left The horizontal coordinate of the left edge of the plot area. Top The vertical coordinate of the top edge of the plot area. Right The horizontal coordinate of the right edge of the plot area. Bottom The vertical coordinate of the bottom edge of the plot area.	R/W	X
6341C05	PlotAreaColors	Colors of the plotting area expressed in terms of (Foreground Color, Background Color) pair. You can set the color of the front panel object by wiring a hexadecimal number with the form RRGGBB or by wiring the color box constant to the property. Elements: Name Description Foreground Color Foreground color of the plotting area. Background Color Background color of the plotting area.	R/W	X
6341C07	BG Color	Background color of the plotting area. You can set the color of the front panel object by wiring a hexadecimal number with the form RRGGBB or by wiring the color box constant to the property. This property is an element of the Plot Area:Colors property.	R/W	X
6341C06	FG Color	Foreground color of the plotting area. You can set the color of the front panel object by wiring a hexadecimal number with the form RRGGBB or by wiring the color box constant to the property. This property is an element of the Plot Area:Colors property.	R/W	X
6341C16	PlotAreaPos		R	X
6341C17	PlotAreaLeft		R	X
6341C18	PlotAreaTop		R	X
6341C00	PlotAreaSize	Size of the active plotting area in terms of width and height in pixels.	R/W	X
6341C02	Height	Height of the active plotting area in pixels. This property is an element of the Plot Area:Size property.	R/W	X
6341C01	Width	Width of the active plotting area in pixels. This property is an element of the Plot Area:Size property.	R/W	X
6341C12	ScaleLegendVis	Shows the scale legend. This property is similar to the Visible Items»Scale Legend item on the shortcut menu of a graph or chart. This property is similar to the Show scale legend option on the Appearance page of the Properties dialog box.	R/W	X
6341C04	TransposeArr	Transpose data before plotting (switch X and Y). This property is similar to the Transpose Array item on the shortcut menu of a graph or chart.	R/W	X
6341C0B	XScale	Reference to the X-scale. You can use this reference with the GraphScale properties. This property is similar to the X Scale item on the shortcut menu of a graph or chart. This property is similar to the Scale option on the Scales page of the Properties dialog box.	R	X
6341C14	ScrollVis	Displays the x-axis scroll bar for the graph or chart. This property is similar to the Visible Items»X Scrollbar item on the shortcut menu of a graph or chart. This property is similar to the Show x scroll bar option on the Appearance page of the Properties dialog box.	R/W	X
6341C0C	YScale	Reference to the Y-scale. You can use this reference with the GraphScale properties. This property is similar to the Y Scale item on the shortcut menu of a graph or chart. This property is similar to the Scale option on the Scales page of the Properties dialog box.	R	X

GraphChart Methods Table

Method ID	Short Name (English)	Description	RTE
6341802	ForceRedraw	Forces LabVIEW to redraw the graph.	X
6341800	Map Coords To XY	Maps the owning pane coordinates to the XY location on a graph. If the scales are not specified then the active or current scales are used.	X
6341801	Map XY To Coords	Returns TRUE and maps the XY location on a graph to the owning pane coordinates. If you do not specify the scales, LabVIEW uses the active or current scales. This method is useful when you need to map graph coordinates to plot image coordinates to draw images inside the plot area of a graph. This method adjusts only the left and top plot bounds to orient the plot around the origin of the owning pane.	X
