plot line like line graph in excel instead of like XY scatter

[Kenny_K]

Is there a way to make a graph that is like the line graph in excel (see pic) and not like the normal graph that is like an XY scatter??

I am using the XY Graph and am trying to graph data that is of the form

x         y
0         0 
1         1
2         2 
3         3
4         4
3         3
2         2
1         1
0         0

This ends up plotting over itself in the normal graph.

There is a property node where you can assign marker values as an array to each scale.

I just tried that using the "Xscale.Markervals[ ]" property node and it gave the same results as before.

You can do an XY graph on a picture control. If you go inside the PlotXY.vi, then the Draw Cartesian Axes.vi, then the Draw Axes.vi,  there is an X-scale specs array indicator that contains the text for the axis labels. You can hijack the label text. You will need to invert one set of X values to get the data centered around zero. Then write whatever text values you want.

Here is an .llb with the option to remove the '-' sign on the X scale labels by using a boolean input.
