Hello,
I want to overlay text over the top of an XY graph. This text would replace the standard y-axe's data that is there. I am trying to put 2 different scales on the same y-axis.
Has anyone done this? If so how do you do it?
What I have currently:
This current vi is reading in a text file of data, containing values for Temperature on the x-axis, on the y-axis to the left, upper half of the graph is data representing Dielectric constant data, and the 2nd y-axis on the right shows a Dissipation factor, that goes the full length of the page. I have done somethings with property nodes to get the data values in, it was from an example of what someone else had put up here on the forum. Having trouble with getting the values from the property nodes to show up like I have put them in the constants. The VI I am referring to, feeds an HTML report format. For reference, the graph at the bottom of "Test Data.vi" is what is being put into the HTML report. Not finished, just testing out some things.
Please take a look and tell me if you can give me some pointers...
Thank you,

Hi M Boat,
So just to make sure I understand, you would like to have both scales on the right side of your graph?
I do not think there is a way to actually have them both on one side but you could simulate this by just hiding the scale you want to move then double click outside of the graph to create a label, in this textbox you can enter values of the scale and move them to their appropriate location on the graph.

Thank you, Brian.
What I am actually trying to do is get one scale on the upper left half of the graph, then the other scale on the right side, going the full length of the right side.

IF I could edit my previous post, appears that I cannot. 😞
Well, anyway, along with what I said I was trying to do in my reply, I want to append those scales to an HTML report, to go on the left and the right sides of the report. Is this possible, or am I wasting my time trying to figure out if it can be done?

I don't think there is going to be a way to only get half the scale to show in the HTML report. There are ways to cover/hide the scale in LabVIEW but that wouldn't be transfered to the HTML report.
