Radar Plot (Not in Base Package)

Takes a picture and an array of plots and appends a picture that represents the radar plot of the data. You can use a radar plot to compare the performance of one set of data with another set of data. This VI uses the Draw Legend VI as a subVI. Refer to the Radar Plot Demo VI in the examples\picture\demos.llb for an example of creating a radar plot.

[user-specified font] is a cluster containing the specific font characteristics for the text you draw. This specification is ignored unless desired font is set to user-specified font.
Font Name selects the font to use for the string.
Size selects the size of the font in points.
Strikeout? If TRUE, text appears in strikeout.
Italic? If TRUE, text appears in italic.
Underline? If TRUE, text appears underlined.
Outline? If TRUE, text appears in outline.
Shadow? If TRUE, text appears in shadow.
Bold? If TRUE, text appears in bold.
desired font specifies the font for the text you draw.

0User-specified font
1Application font (default)
2System font
3Dialog font
picture in is the picture to which you want to add the radar plot. The default is an empty picture.
data is a 2D array, where each row represents a plot. The VI draws each index in a plot on a corresponding y-scale. A straight line connects all the points in a plot.
plot info specifies the name, color, and fill option for each plot. The index of this array matches the row index in data.

The VI uses plot name and plot color for the legend.
plot name is the name of the plot.
plot color is the color of the plot. The default in RGB is white.

You can wire a color box constant to this input.

fill? specifies whether to fill the interior. If FALSE (default), the VI draws only the outlines.

axis info specifies the label (name) of each y-axis and the minimum and maximum value of each y-axis. The index of this array matches the column index in data.
label is the label of the y-axis.
max value is the maximum value of the y-axis.
min value is the minimum value of the y-axis.
axes info specifies the color, format and precision of the y-axes, and whether to autoscale the y-axes.
color is the color for all the y-axes. The default in RGB is 255, 255, 255.

You can wire a color box constant to this input.

autoscale? specifies whether to autoscale each y-axis independently. If FALSE (default), the VI does not autoscale each y-axis.
format and precision specifies the format of the values on the y-axes.
format specifies the numeric format (decimal, scientific, engineering, binary, octal, or hex) for the scale numbers.
precision specifies the precision for the scale numbers.
legend info specifies the location of the plot legend relative to the radar plot.
position specifies where to draw the legend.

0None (default)—The VI does not draw the legend.
1Top
2Right
3Bottom
4Left
text color is the color of the labels of the y-axes, as shown in the legend. The default in RGB is 255, 255, 255.

You can wire a color box constant to this input.

dimension (w,h) specifies the rectangle in absolute coordinates into which the VI draws the radar plot and legend.
Width is the horizontal coordinate that increases to the right.
Height is the vertical coordinate that increases to the bottom.
top left position specifies in absolute coordinates where to place the top left corner of the radar plot in the picture.
left is the horizontal coordinate that increases to the right.
top is the vertical coordinate that increases to the bottom.
picture out is the modified picture containing the radar plot.
