How can I change the X-scale on a chart/graph as I am posting data?

Hi there,

I'm plotting data on a graph. However, the user has the option of changing the frequency (X-scale - time) with which the data is retrieved. I would like to be able to change this for one point, without affecting all the other points. I've noticed that a chart may be a better option, but I still can't find a way to change the X-scale for a few points, and then change back to the original timing.

e.g.: Take one point every 2 seconds, user switches to 5 seconds: take a point every 5 seconds...

Thanks for any help,

Russ

If your x-values are not spaced equally, you probably should use an xy-graph.

So, you can change your x-scale as you write your data? Does this mean you can give the graph an X,Y for each point as you feed it data?

Thanks,

Oh - got it. XY graph vs waveform. Thanks again altenbach.
