the text file include date&time which i want to display on the scale x of the graph, so that the user can know when is their data is (eg: 1.3m in 28/2/06 9.00am). The problem is when the data too large the date display on the scale x will be duplicated, how i going to display the date correctly.

Thank

I don't know what you mean by "duplicated", but here's a wild guess:

If your dates span more than a year, you probably should also display the year, not just day/month. You have it currently set to "Do not display year". Check your x-axis formatting.

ya i think you rite, thank! after i show the 2 digit year out the graph look  nicer. Beside this One more question i would like to ask is whether the xy graph also can use the cusor legend like waveform graph??

that can let the user to scroll on the graph...

You can right-click on your xy graph and select "visible items...X scrollbar".

---> Now you can scroll the x-axis. 🙂

what i mean is not the x scrollbar, i want to use a cursor to let user navigate through the graph and user can see the level and the date of the current cursor position... just like the waveform graph, cusor legend can bring the cursor to center and let user to move within the graph.Thank...
