Owning Palette: Graphics & Sound VIs

Use the Picture Plots VIs to create graphical representations of data.

Palette Object	Description
Calc Scale Specs	Takes a specification for a Cartesian style scale and calculates the coordinates and labels to use for the scale.
Draw Legend	Takes a picture and adds a legend to the picture.
Draw Scale	Draws a scale onto a picture.
Map Pixel to Value	Uses the pixel value and the cluster returned by the Map Setup VI to determine the domain value corresponding to that pixel value.
Map Setup	Uses pixel and data ranges to determine scale factors such that (a * data value) + b is the pixel value that corresponds to that data value.
Map Value to Pixel	Uses the domain value and the cluster returned by the Map Setup VI to determine a pixel value corresponding to that domain value.
Normalize Smith Plot	Takes data for a Smith plot and normalizes it, meaning that the data is scaled relative to a known value.
Plot Multi-XY	Takes a picture and an array of plots and appends a picture of an XY graph of the data with the plots overlaid on the same graph.
Plot Waveform	Takes uniformly distributed data and a picture and creates a new picture that represents a waveform graph of the data.
Plot XY	Takes a picture and an array of points and appends a picture that represents an XY graph of the data.
Polar Plot	Takes a picture and polar data and appends a picture that represents a polar graph of the data.
Radar Plot	Takes a picture and an array of plots and appends a picture that represents the radar plot of the data.
Smith Multi Plot	Takes a picture and an array of Smith plots and appends a picture that represents the superimposed Smith plots of the data.
Smith Plot	Takes a picture and the data for a Smith plot and appends a picture that represents the Smith plot of the data.
