Map XY To Coordinates Method
Short Name: Map XY To Coords
Installed With: Base Package
Class: GraphChart Methods
Maps the XY location on a graph to the owning pane coordinates. If you do not specify the scales, LabVIEW uses the active or current scales. This method is useful when you need to map graph coordinates to plot image coordinates to draw images inside the plot area of a graph.
This method adjusts only the left and top plot bounds to orient the plot around the origin of the owning pane.
Parameters
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Map XY To Coordinates | No | Returns TRUE if the XY pairs mapped to the coordinates. |

| XY | No | Cluster of X and Y pairs. |
| X Scale | No | Identifies the value of the X scale. |
| Y Scale | No | Identifies the value of the Y scale. |
