Hi,
 
I have run into a problem when using the picture functions.
I'm using the draw multiple lines function.
I'm using this function in LabView 7.11 to draw a dynamic picture and then make a printout of it.
When I'm doing it in 7.11 I will get nice smooth lines on my printout.
The problem is that we have now lifted our program to 8.5 and when I'm doing the printout in the exact same way the lines are pixelated.
 
So my question is, in what way does labview 8.5 differ in handling graphic from 7.11?
How to solve this problem to get smooth lines on the printouts?
 
Best regards,
 
Simon

Have yo tried turing ont eh anti-aliased feature in the plot menu? This wil smooth your line some. May this was turned on in 7.1.1 as it is not a defualt setting would probably not carry over when upgrading to 8.5. See example below.

Hmm.
 
I'm not using a graph on the printout. (forgot to write)
 
I'm using a Picture control.
On this object it's possible to select Smooth updates on the advanced menu but that only takes effect on screen and not on printouts.
 
Best regards,
Simon

What are you drawing in this picture control?

Also how are you printing? Are you using canned VI's or are you exporting to a different program?
