How Do I Configure the Graph 4 Traces?

[NigeT]

Please see the attached screenshot. The Graph 4 traces dissappear off the bottom of the pane and I can see no scroll bar.

Thanks.

Please could someone tell me how to scroll down the graph selection pane. I can't seem to find a way to make MLV HD work currently.

You need to use a smaller font or have a bigger screen it seems..

Perhaps I should try putting a scroll bar under it..

Alternatively, you could try turning on "Quick Trace Selection" under the View Menu.
Then you select traces by clicking on the readout below.
Right click to direct it to a specific graph.

Thanks Phil, didn't think of making the font smaller. It's an XPS 13 with 4k display. I'm having loads of problems with UI element sizing, not limited to TS and MLV.

Hmm, MLV should handle the font scaling, it may be over shooting here?

[NigeT]

Here's an example - first pop-up dialog I see.

Maybe this gives a better idea - MLV full screen.

Selecting different values for Options->Font Size doesn't seem to do anything.

I need to take a look at this..
The high DPI screens was a PITA a while back where all the fonts in MLV were itty bitty. That is taken car of, but it may have broken the Font Size selection beyond the Tuning Panel Tables.

Just FYI, resizing that pop-up doesn't make it more usable.

Now my graph lines have disappeared.

The trace graphs have disappeared again.

MLV is becoming unusable for me. Last time this happened I think I had to download and install again, but I don't have enough spare time to keep doing that.

What size font do you have it set to under:
Options --> Font Size

Options --> Font Size

Difficult to see in the dialog, but looks like 30.
I think that somehow the graph had zoned out to the point that the whole trace was in the left pixel of the graph! I don't know how this would have happened because I almost always have the graphs zoomed to maximum. Only found this by attacking controls at random in desperation.
Just tried find size at 8 instead but it only seemed to affect the Graph N headings in Quick Views.
Thanks, Nigel.

In your Windows display properties what text size do you have set?

Meant to check today and forgot, sorry. Will check next weekend when I'm back from working in the US.

Finally remembered to check this. I've been using the default setting of 250%. I'm using the recommended resolution of 3200 x 1800.
Thanks,
Nigel.

The latest version of MLV (4.2.04) has a scroll bar under the field selectors if needed, so you should be able to get to the 4th graph now.

Do you font sizes look way too big on that PC? They do in the screen shots, but I am looking at them on a 1080p 100% scaling PC, so the high DPI screenshots would...
I'm trying to figure out whether MLV is making the fonts too big, or you just don't have enough screen space..

[NigeT]

So the thing is that some dialogs have huge text, some have tiny almost unreadable text and for some the layout makes them unusable. I tried to attach some sample images, but some were too big for the forum and then we I cut them down I found I was limited to 3 anyway.

A couple more, the last being Opera browser which looks pretty good generally.
