How do I Move the Axis Label on a Graph?

[bmoyer]

I have a graph that is formatted almost the way I would like it although the Y-axis label is not centered. I wasn't able to move the label and I haven't been able to find a place to reset the position.

How do I put the label back in the center of the axis (VI with graph only attached)?

Thanks,

Use the property node YScale.Name Label.Position to move the label. I am not sure how to automatically move it to the center, but you can play with the top value to get it to where you want.

hi,

you must have done something to move it because by default it comes centered on the graph area

I couldn't find the right setting so a made a small method to center it using the property pointed by dblk22vball.

hope this helps you

Few time ago i have make this small tool to move scale. Perhapse that can help you.

1) Run Move scale vi

2) Select your vi in "Vi ouvert" list

3) select the graph in "Nom des graphes"

4) Select x or Y scale

5) select scale with "nom des échelles"

6) move the scale with arrow and see it in real time on your Vi.

Nice tool !

The "move up" and "move down" functions don't work in LV 8.6

Ditto!

I see the same issue in 8.5.1 (it only moves 1 pixel up or down), but it still solved the problem I was having. The first time I clicked the arrow it snapped the label back to the center which was exactly was I was trying to do!

Thanks,

I've investigated this further and I think the label gets misaligned when changing the justification of the axis label text.

I was able to perform these steps to recreate the issue:

1. Select the y-axis label text.

2. Click the fonts toolbar button, select "Justify"-->"Right".

3. Type additional characters to make the label a longer length.

4. Change it back to left justify and then delete characters some characters and it becomes misaligned.

I guess you could just reverse the process to get back but this is difficult if you don't know the exact steps taken.
