graph pallete of xy graphs

[K Waris]

Is it possible to use the data analysis tools in the graph pallete of xy graph using external boolean buttons? I have a requirement where the application zoom in/out and other functions in the graph palletes must trigger using the function keys of the key board. I looked in the property nodes but there doesn't seem like a way out??

 

Any ideas??

Yes there exists properties to modify the graph axis info.  One demo (that I haven't found yet) was shown off at NI Week to allow a graph to be zoomed in using the scroll wheel.  This was to show off the new mouse scroll event.

 

Select the active scale property for either the X or the Y scale.  This is a zero index value so if your graph only has one X and wire a 0 to it.  Then you'll probably want to change the autoscale to be no auto scale.  Under the X Scale Property set the Scale Fit to 0 which is no scale (the help describes the others).  Then you can set the X Scale, Range, Minimum and Maximum.  This will set the minimum and maximum that the X will be.  You can do the same for the Y scale as well.

If you just need to select one of the palette options based on external triggers, you can use the Palette:Active Tool property. In addition to, or in lieu of this, if you also want to zoom in to a specific range, you can use the scale range properties.

Many thanks for your response Ravi,

The active tool property was the solution to my customer's requirements
