There's an API that you might want to look at. Here's the latest package (not yet uploaded to CR) . Download File:post-10515-1240631352.vip >LV 8.6

XY Graphs can have two types: Cluster or Array(of Clusters) Of course, they give out a different Type Descriptor.

Nice, but I prefer this way... I think it is only second to a LabVIEW-controlled folding robot!

QUOTE (Dirk J. @ Apr 14 2009, 04:50 PM) Well, XControl means less code somewhere in the future... but more right now. And you're right, from a comment written by AQ some months ago, we should expect the classes and XControls to converge in the future. So it's up to you to see if you want to wait for more convergence before spending time on this. Anyhow, it's entirely possible to use lvclasses inside the XControl, but I haven't gotten to experiment that just yet...

QUOTE (Mark Yedinak @ Apr 14 2009, 06:03 PM) We're slipping off-topic, but my legacy code is not bad because the screen was too small, it's bad because I used local variables and stacked sequences everywhere!! If one kept his code to 640x480 and opens it today, it will simply take 1/4 of the screen...

QUOTE (shoneill @ Apr 13 2009, 11:14 AM) I'm half joking... because I'm not sure what it should be anymore! I'm in total agreement with you regarding the needed overhaul. Questions should not try to trick you at this level since it's an entry exam. It should try to show that you mastered the basics of LabVIEW, not that you're good in philosophy! When I took my exam, there was a question about a chronometer-type VI, for which obviously the output was counting down. But all four answers were beginning with something like: "Output counting up, and...", so I chose with respect to what came after the first comma. I might have gotten it right (I don't know !?!) but it proved me that all I had heard so far about the CLAD exam was true.

QUOTE (LV_FPGA_SE @ Apr 9 2009, 10:46 PM) It would be C only after four iterations. It's B in the general case where you get to stop the loop before the fourth iteration. After four iterations, running average is the same as average of the last four measurements.

QUOTE (Mark Yedinak @ Apr 8 2009, 10:46 AM) Mark, have you tried the OpenG "Coerce to Enum"? http://lavag.org/old_files/monthly_04_2009/post-10515-1239205004.png' target="_blank">

QUOTE (Yair @ Apr 8 2009, 06:43 AM) It's a 6.6% error... very significative when you're so youthful. I remember having a one year difference with a girlfriend at this age: boy was she mature!

QUOTE (Steen Schmidt @ Apr 7 2009, 03:40 PM) Hi Steen, do you have any reference to what you're saying about newly exposed vulnerabilities. I'm no cryptography expert but I thought the vulnerability was through usage of rainbow tables that could be compared to the hash. This vulnerability was mute if one were to encrypt recursively, use a password longer than 14 characters, or use "salt". Are you talking about something else?

QUOTE (Michael Malak @ Apr 7 2009, 12:22 PM) Hi Michael, there are a few ways to do that. For starters, I would lead you in the direction of local variables. You can read from/write to local variables. You can also use the Value Property accessible from the Property Node. Be careful not to use too much local variables as they are not inherently "dataflow-friendly". EDIT: Looks like you've got plenty of help...

Nancy's right. Look at this. Using a cursor set to snap, and hiding it, it can be transparent to the user. Download File:post-10515-1239053190.vi (saved for 8.5)

QUOTE (flarn2006 @ Apr 6 2009, 03:32 PM) Read the license. Stricly speaking, it's trespass. Not that it would necessarily be a reason to stop trying, but...

QUOTE (MatteLAVA @ Mar 27 2009, 05:24 PM) Hi Matteo, I think you forgot to attach the VI.

QUOTE (cheekychops @ Mar 25 2009, 08:57 PM) You can use an array of booleans next to the XY Graph legend. Match the "legend number of rows" property of your graph with the boolean array "number of rows" property to keep the array the same length as your number of datasets. I've built it in a XControl. Sorry I can't upload because it's proprietary and contains a few classes that make it not so plug n' play for a demo.

QUOTE (Aristos Queue @ Mar 16 2009, 12:45 PM) I strongly agree with this statement. In an interview, unless you're trying to pass for a software engineer when you clearly have never done it before, I'm looking for people who know their current limitation very well because those people are likely, in my opinion, to try to exceed them when confronted with the need to. In a project management situation, it can be scary when the manager doesn't know what are the risks that can come along and wreck your project. The same thing is true from a programmer that doesn't know what lies slightly beyond his immediate experience horizon.

QUOTE (jgcode @ Mar 16 2009, 09:13 AM) Careful what you wish for! If the list goes too long, you get to be me...

I'm sure a lot of you get it straight in your email each morning, but just in case... it reminded me of this thread and put a large smile on my face.

QUOTE (Antoine Châlons @ Mar 12 2009, 09:21 AM) Nice fractal progression...

Hi Kenny, You can initialize the bundle with empty constant VI refs and then overwrite the bundled data.

QUOTE (crelf @ Mar 2 2009, 05:24 PM) To keep with the analogy, I'd make a public Save method for each of your classes so they could be called independantly. "Chess Board" would save itself and call public "Save Chess Piece" for each of the pieces in its array, then call public "Save Board Properties". You wouldn't really need the ChessGameFile class in this paradigm.

QUOTE (ASTDan @ Feb 23 2009, 09:54 PM) You're right you can't have both in the column header. My previous rant about giving up in LV7 was for graph titles which required something like "Phase (theta)" and I ended up putting theta as an image. It worked only because the title never needed to be changed but that's hardly a good solution especially for a commercial product where you don't know the user's screen resolution... Could you create a picture control, display the text you want and superimpose on your column header? That looks more and more like Bob's suggestion to Chris!

QUOTE (ASTDan @ Feb 23 2009, 08:07 PM) Hi Dan, Use the symbol font for just the specific cell. ActiveCell = {-1, column number} ActiveCell.CellFont.Name = Symbol http://lavag.org/old_files/monthly_02_2009/post-10515-1235439686.png' target="_blank"> I think it works exactly the same with a Table.
