Re: What is Classmate

Oh, it would just kind of mess with the visual aspect of LabVIEW. All the icons would have to get smaller if you wanted to zoom out, which would mess with the resolution in a way that would hinder the programming experience. Zooming in is similar. Plus, zooming would give the false impression that you can code sloppy by scrunching everything close together or put tons of code on one VI and it will all be ok since you can zoom to see it better.

Whenever you code on the Classmate with it's small screen, the images are the same size pixel-for-pixel. So you always wish that you could zoom out, but if you really think about it, the way LabVIEW itself looks on the block diagram, it would mess with the experience and how it's supposed to work.
