The current strip charts display data a fixed intervals. If I want to plot data that is collected at inconsistent intervals I have to use a XY chart and record the paired data. How about creating a strip chart that displays the data against the time it was added to the plot? The program provides the Y value and the x value is just the time the data was plotted. The plot could have a time constant for the entire window much like the scroll rate used in actual paper chart recorders (e.g. 1 cm/minute). In other words, one could configure the chart to have a span of 1 hour. After an hour, data would get "pushed" off the end etc..
