graph & chart history length

[Cashany]

I was wondering why "chart" has got a "chart history length" property for the length of the displayed data, 

but "graph" doesn't have such a "history length" property. 

Why!?

Hi Cashany,

maybe because charts have a history and graphs don't?

[Cashany]

So, how do graphs work without a history (memory)?

Hi Cashany,

you have to make your own buffers then.

Well, there are examples coming with LabVIEW. There ARE examples showing how to use charts and graphs!

[Cashany]

All right, I'll see the examples and try to understand how graphs & charts exactly work.

Hi Cashany,

"how graphs & charts exactly work": charts collect data in their history buffer and plot the history, while graphs only plot the data you provide them...

Now got it.
