Move the cursor inside a graph using native X scrollbar

Sorry about my poor english Smiley Sad

 

Recently I had to build a cursor that moved according to a scrollbar that I myself needed to program. I would like the X scrollbar move the cursor as well, so I could use the native scrollbar to move the graphic and the cursor.

My idea is that when I move the scrollbar whenever the cursor remains in the middle of the graph.Thus it would be not necessary to program the movement of the cursor manually.

 

Thanks for read this.

I think this is a scenario where you need to adjust the cursor programmatically. If would be confusing if scrolling a graph would change the cursor position without warning.

If you just want a static line in the center of the graph, you could use the plot images property, for example.

I agree with altenbach that this should be a property that can be set to 'stick cursor to graph' or 'stick cursor to plot'
