Cursors Page (3D Graph Properties Dialog Box)

Requires: Full Development System (Windows)

Use this page of the 3D Graph Properties dialog box to configure cursors on the 3D graph. Cursors can be set explicitly or by moving an existing cursor on the 3D graph.

This page includes the following components:

• Cursor List—Lists the cursors you want to configure.
• Add—Adds a new cursor to the 3D graph.
• Delete—Deletes a cursor from the Cursors List.
• Visible—Displays the cursor in the 3D scene.
• Enable—Enables you to move the cursor you configure around the 3D graph.
• Position—Configures the position of the cursors on the 3D graph.
  • Snap to—Configures the cursor to snap to the plot. You can select from the following options:
    • Fixed—Sets the position of the cursor to a specific point on the 3D graph.
    • Nearest Plot—Sets the position of the cursor on the 3D graph to the nearest plot.
    • Snap to Plot—Sets the position of the cursor to snap to a plot on the 3D graph. Select a plot from the Plot pull-down menu.
  • Plot—Sets the plot you want to configure. LabVIEW ignores this control unless you select Snap to Plot in the Snap to control.
  • X—Displays the position of the cursor on the x-axis.
  • Y—Displays the position of the cursor on the y-axis.
  • Z—Displays the position of the cursor on the z-axis.
• Point—Configures the cursor points.
  • Color—Sets the color of the cursor point on the 3D graph. Click this control to display the color picker and select a new color.
  • Size—Specifies the size of the point on the cursor.
  • Show Point—Displays the cursor point on the 3D graph.
• Line—Configures the appearance of a line to show the cursor position on the 3D graph.
  • Color—Sets the color of the cursor line. Click this control to display the color picker and select a new color.
  • Width—Specifies the width of the cursor line on the 3D graph.
  • Show Line—Displays the cursor line on the 3D graph.
• Plane—Configures the appearance of the X-Y, Y-Z, or X-Z plane on the 3D graph.
  • Opacity—Specifies the level of opacity of the color you apply to the plane. Opacity ranges from 0 to 1 where 1 is completely opaque.
  • Color—Sets the color of the plane on the 3D graph. Click this control to display the color picker and select a new color.
  • X–Y Plane Visible—Displays the X–Y plane on the 3D graph.
  • Y–Z Plane Visible—Displays the Y–Z plane on the 3D graph.
  • X–Z Plane Visible—Displays the X–Z plane on the 3D graph.
• Text—Use this page to configure the text of the cursor on the 3D graph. The text displays the position and name of the cursor. The text appears over a bounding rectangle to distinguish the text from other 3D graph objects.
  • Text Color—Specifies the color of the cursor text on the 3D graph.
  • Font Size—Specifies the font size of the cursor name and values on the 3D graph.
  • Position Visible—Displays the cursor position on the 3D graph.
  • Name Visible—Displays the cursor name on the 3D graph.
