Search for "annotation" in the LabVIEW Help->Find Examples : Programmatically Annotate a Graph.vi

I don't think this feature is available before LV 8.0.

I don't think that this post really belongs in "Real-Time", it should be more appropriate in either:

LAVA > Software & Hardware Discussions > LabVIEW General

or

LAVA > Software & Hardware Discussions > LabVIEW (By Category) > User Interface

Regardless, It may be possible to do what you want using string indicators that are configured to overlap your graph and by using property nodes place them in spots over your graph, if you don't want to upgrade to a version >7.1, but its a path that is likely to be a bit ugly and un-elegant, for what it is worth. This is just the first thing that comes to my mind, but there may be other possibilities for vesions < 8.0.

For a pre-anotation solution you could use the code CC posted in this thread.

http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?boar...ssage.id=125040

on the NI forum.

In that example he controls all of the aspects of the cursor using a reference to the cursor legend.

Un-fortunately that method has been shutdown for LV 8 or greater.

And if none of the above help out, you can always use a picture control and "roll your own". If you go that route then this thread

contains a bunch of links that I have been collecting to help get stated with the Picture control. Here is a sample of what can be done with a pcture control (note:This example is NOT part of that thread).

thanks for the information,

but i have clearly said that i want to plot those data on a CHART, not a GRAPH, coz i need the strip type of chart.

chart doesn't have annotation property.
