Smith Multi Plot (Not in Base Package)

Takes a picture and an array of Smith plots and appends a picture that represents the superimposed Smith plots of the data. You can specify whether r circles and x circles should be drawn for the grids. You also can specify whether the points should be drawn as single points or connected lines, and you can specify a section of the plot to zoom in on.

user-specified font is a cluster containing the specific font characteristics for the text you draw.
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.

pict in is the picture on which the Smith plot will be drawn.
rect a cluster containing the upper-left and lower-right coordinates that describe a rectangle bounding the text. The VI clips text to the coordinates of this rectangle. All coordinates are absolute.
left is the horizontal coordinate of the left edge of the rectangle.
top is the vertical coordinate of the top edge of the rectangle.
right is the horizontal coordinate of the right edge of the rectangle.
bottom is the vertical coordinate of the bottom edge of the rectangle.
smith plot section is a cluster that describes the portion of the graph you want to display. It contains four values that represent a rectangle superimposed over the Smith plot.
x minimum is the smallest allowable value in the range of horizontal coordinates.
x maximum is the largest allowable value in the range of horizontal coordinates.
y minimum is the smallest allowable value in the range of vertical coordinates.
y maximum is the largest allowable value in the range of vertical coordinates.
smith grid cosmetics is a cluster that describes the style to use for the grids and whether to draw labels in the plot corners when you zoom in on a section of the plot.

smith multi plot is an array of clusters, where each cluster contains an array of points. A point is represented by a cluster containing the r and x values that make up the complex impedance r + jx.

smith plot cosmetics is a cluster that specifies the style to use in drawing the plot. This cluster contains a ring with which you can select whether you want the points drawn with no connecting lines, lines only, or both lines and points. It also contains color numerics with which you can select the line color and the point color. If smith plot cosmetics is not wired, then the VI draws the plot by drawing lines and points and uses a yellow color for the lines and points.
Plot Style determines the way the data is plotted. You can choose to have the points drawn with no connecting lines, lines only, or both lines and points.
Line Color is the color of the line. The default in RGB is 0, 153, 255.

You can wire a color box constant to this input.

Point Color is the color of the points. The default in RGB is 0, 153, 255.

You can wire a color box constant to this input.

include scales in rect? determines whether the new picture will include scales.
pict out is a new picture containing the Smith plot.
