Automate Annotation Locations


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I've been trying out the Annotations in LabVIEW 8.5 and they work well except for a few issues I tend to be having. I have a grpah that needs 5 annotations in them, but they may be anywhere in the graph. What I am trying to avoid is overlap between the annotation labels together. Here are some examples of what I am talking about. The first graph shows a bunch of annotations all overlaping. I zoom in on the graph and they reorder properly and look clean, but I can not allow the graph to always just zoom in on the annotations, I need the graph to be the full view. So the last graph shows how I would like the annotations to automatically orient themselves with each other to get a best fit around the cursor points without overlapping their own space.

Graph As Is

Graph Moved Locations

Is this something that NI can look into providing or is there another alternative that I can work on in the background? How should I proceed in accomplishing this?

I have used other graphs through active X that can do a better job of annotations, but have a memory leak. If I can find a way to get the NI graphs to mimic these below, I much rather would.

Thanks,

PS if anyone wants the code to generate the graphs to play with, let me know, but its in a rough form.
