Export simplified image to EMF from an XY Graph has black unreadable text areas.

[Mike_King]

The text on an XY Graph's scale gets blacked out when LabVIEW draws it rotated for the Y-axis.  This only occurs when exporting EMF files, but they are the only quality format you can export that is acceptable for printing at high resolution.  EPS seems to poorly scale the data from a bitmap and the BMP, well, I hope that is obvious that it is not good quality for printing.

So, I need the EMF format for reports, but my verticle text that LabVIEW puts on any XY graph Y-axis, will not export properly.

See the attached VI, and the attached word document contained the exported samples (BMP, EPS, then EMF).  The EMF format fails.

This needs to be fixed and occurs in LabView 2011

One thing to try, as a workaround, is coloring the background of the labels to be the same as the graph.  We do some special handing of transparent text which apparently isn't working properly during export.  I don't have access to my machine currently, but I will file a CAR on this tomorrow and post the number here.

I tried my workaround and it seems to work and I have filed CAR  #331362 for further investigation.

Excellent, this worked to fixed my problem. It prints properly when not using transparency.  Thanks.
