tick mark spacing

[GregFreeman]

I am trying to figure out how to get the tick mark spacing on an xy graph. I can't find it in properties. I am setting the max/min for the x/y scales programmatically and I want to extend the scales max/min one tick mark past my max y and max x data values. I don't want to just say +5 or some constant because if the major tick marks are 100, you wont hardly see any difference where as if they are tick mark increments of 0.5 the graph will be too spread out. Suggestions?

for,

In 2009, the ticks can be set with the Increment Properties of Range, as shown. Do the oder versions have this property?

I just checked 8.5, it's there and working for me.

I was lazy and didn't check. Excellent, thanks!

Well, Range > Increment  = Tick Mark > Spacing  ...    ...  Doesn't translate directly!

Be aware that in older versions of LabVIEW, the tick spacing can be reset when the data is updated.  This usually only happens when you have autoscale turned on, but I have seen it occur when you set the max and min on a scale.  I seem to remember the order of execution was important, but it has been several years since I did this.

Also be aware: if you use a property node to set the tick spacing, don't allow a 0 or negative number to be written to the node or it will throw an error, as it should.

Hi,

any idea of how to equally space x and y ticks of a contour filled plot?

As displayed in the attached picture the y axis ticks and x axis ticks are not evenly spaced. I'd like to freely set the distance between ticks even in advanced plots. Is it possible?

Thanks

You probably should have started a new thread rather than reply into an 8 year old thread.

You say your ticks are not evenly spaced.  How so?  I see ticks every 100 units on both the X and Y axes in you rpicture.
