How to Make a Bar Graph without Joining Lines in LabVIEW

January 5th, 2009

In one of my project, I’ll use a bar graph to display a 1D array. In the plot legend, I changed the plot properties and set one of the bar plots. But when I finished, the graph showed as bar plot but it joined the values of the plot with lines. I did not want the lines, after tried for a few times, I got what I want. The detail of how-to is as follows:

First, click on the Plot Legend, select ‘Common Plots’ and then the bottom right option from the drop down list.

Second, select ‘Bar Plots’ lower down in the plot menu, make the appearance change.

Last, in the ‘Interpolation’ menu specifically select the first item(the top-left one, which has no lines).

And after that, job get done.

    Great stuff! I’m pretty good at identifying the LabVIEW bloggers out there, but I have to admit I have no idea who you are. Any chance you’ll reveal your true identity?

    @Todd
    Thank you, Todd. It’s incredible for me that my fresh established blog catches your attention, it feels great. Actually, I think I am nobody so far. I’m a former NI alliance employee, and currently I’m using LabVIEW and CVI to build test systems for customers. English is not my native language, and I’m recording everything related with my work and practice my English as well in this blog. I’ll email you my true identity later as you wish.
