Setting the Number of Plots in a Plot Legend

You can specify the number of plots to show in a plot legend at run time. You also can specify the number of plots to show in the plot legend regardless of the number of plots in the plot area of a graph or chart.

To specify the number of plots to show in the plot legend of a graph or chart, right-click the plot area of a graph or chart and select Properties from the shortcut menu. On the Appearance page, increase or decrease the minimum number of plots to show in the plot legend by changing the number in the Plots shown field. In the Plots shown field, enter the number of plots manually, or click the increment and decrement buttons to increase or decrease the number of plots to show.

You also can use the Legend:Number of Rows property to set the number of plots LabVIEW shows in the plot legend programmatically. Use the Legend:Plot Minimum property to set the minimum number of plots to show in the plot legend regardless of the number of plots in the plot area of a graph or chart.
