Add Digital Display to Graph

Status: Declined

I like the Digital Display feature of the Chart and would like to see it in a Graph

 

I currently do this in an Xcontrol

Do you mean an array indicator that shows all graph data? Most graphs have hundreds or more points, so displaying all might not fit very well on the front panel. Can you attach an image that shows your idea in action?

 

What if the data is dynamic data, waveform data, etc?

I often have several graphs in an application and I prefer to use a graph instead of a chart for many reasons.

 

With a chart you can select digital display from the visible items and it shows the current data point for each plot (not the entire history).  What I like about the way this works in a chart is that the digital displays are not in an array and you can move them independently

 

To achieve this in a graph I need to make a digital display manually for each plot and manage them separately.  In a chart if I change the number of plots then the digital displays change also and it is all contained in one control

currently I have a graph Xcontrol that does this and much more but i thought this would be a good feature for the stock graph
