Writing Vertical Text

[bulentt]

Hello Everybody...

Is there any way to write a Vertical text (for example a vertical string that is put in a array), this can be done in the captions of the controls but for each control, property node should be defined.

Thank you...

When you say vertical string, do you mean stacked or clockwise?

You won't be able to use the caption of the control if you want to put it in an array. The problem is that if you write text to the caption, all elements in the array will use the same text. Only the value of an array elelment can be different. If you want stacked behaviour then this is easily obtained by placing one character per line in the string box.

Sorry for the late answer (my comp.&sw has changed)

I mean clockwise and I have also tried the stacked way but the space between chars are too much in this way and I cannot write enough chars in my limited space. I want to write a definition to the 32 bits of a word, bits are aligned from right to left and I have to write some explaination to them, and I am trying to find some faster and easier way to handle these names. I currently use control captions (by using property nodes) and write data to each of 32bits individually.

Thank You...

Well, you could use Brian Renken's VIs to do this. You can download the VIs from his website (sroll down to 'Draw Sideways String' section)

He explains how he went about accomplishing this in a LTR article.. an interesting read:

I guess he proves anything can be done if one puts his mind to it!

Actually, this was impressive at the time and an excellent solution to the problem, however this is now built-in to LabVIEW. This is using a picture control.
