Hey, I have what i think is an easy problem that I just can't seem to find the answer to. I'm basically just trying to make a scatter plot that takes a set of data points and plots them with an even spacing but with x-axis labels that aren't even. I'm posting a picture as an example. My example uses the point (1,2) and (4,3). Labview automatically assumes I want it spaced like the first picture but I actually just want each data point directly after the next one like the second picture. Thanks for any help!

acolbourn,
I've read through your post and spent quite some time today researching whether this is possible and trying to build an example that demonstrates this functionality.
It's sounds essentially like you want the behavior of a waveform chart (equal interval display of data), however a waveform chart X axis scale cannot be arbitrarily assigned.
It's not a property that LabVIEW offers or supports to my knowledge. Unfortunately the only scaling options for scales on graphs/charts are linear and logarithmic.
I'll continue to look around for some more information, but I'm fairly positive that the current versions of LabVIEW do not support this kind of graphing functionality. If you would like to see this kind of functionality added to a future version of LabVIEW I'd encourage you to post this on the LabVIEW Idea Exchange.

Okay thanks, at least now I know. I was going crazy trying to figure it out. I'll post it in the idea exchange right now.
