Are you saying that you want to graph some lines?

Pretty vague.  Read the help for graphs so you can format your data into something the graph will like.  I think we could help you a lot more if you show us some code.  🙂

The purpose of the graph on the front panel is to show this?  It looks like you are graphing data...

Yes Im graphing data but I wanted to set lines on the front panel of the VI. So  when one runs the program they can see if the data stays within the specified lines.  I

Hello word 505,

 

If I understand your question correctly, you need to add reference lines to the graph itself, rather than plotting data- is that what you're looking for?

 

If that is the case, you can change the appearance of the background grid by right-clicking on the graph and going to Properties>>Scales>>Grid Style and Colors.  You can adjust the color and spacing of the X- and Y-axis major and minor grids here, the example you provided has them set to transparent/invisible.
