Rif.: Graph cursors control for stripchart

[vix]

I don't know if this is available in older releases too, but in CVI 2015 there is a nice custom control called "Graph Cursors Control".

Looking to the example shipped with CVI I see this is exactly what I need, but it works over a Graph Control only.

I need to use it over a Strip Chart control.

Is there a way to patch this custom control so that it works for Strip Charts too?

I hope so, because both Graphs and Strip Charts can have cursors.

Hi Vix,

did you try creating a custom control that lets you use the cursor you need with a different graph?

I'd start from the control you have for the stripchart and modify it following what's said here: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370051V-01/cvi/libref/cvicustom_control_overview/

Hope it helps,

FBM

Do you mean starting from the custom control named "Graph cursors control" which works for Graphs and modify it to create a "Stripchart cursors control" which works for Stripcharts?

Do you think this would work or do you see any underlying difference (between Graphs and Stripcharts) which would lead to failure this approach?

This would not work. Strip charts do not support cursors.

[vix]

So no way to have cursors on strip charts?

[LuisG]

That's correct, unfortunately.

I've just added this idea in Idea Exchange Forum

I really dont understan your effort. Strip charts are sequential data visialisation tools in real time or replay. Graph cursors are for measurement snd detailed observaton, selection od data ranges  or data manipulation. 

If you want to have a vloser look at a data range, get the daya array amd plot the data in Grapfplot with as many cursors, overlays, colors and measured values, statistics, exporting and prointing options as many you need and leave the chart alone.
