I'm trying to make a 'bar graph' that'll show movement real time. This if for an application showing fluids moving in a pipe, and the attached image is what I'd like to end up with.
At Time0, you can see that there are 4 fluids in the pipe. At a later time (Time1) the fluids have moved down the pipe, and in the last frame at Time2, the orange fluid has moved completely out of the pipe.
I'm thinking that I can use stacked bar graphs to do this, and thought I'd post the question to the forum to see if anyone's already tackled this problem and can give me a head start.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the post and I hope your well today.
There is an example in the LabVIEW Example Finder (Help>>Find Examples..). It is titled, Stacked Bar Graph. You can search for it if you switch tab in the Example Finder window.
The VI uses a Waveform Graph to plot several waveform. In the example, each colour is a different waveform, and by altering the representation of the data point i.e. a x etc you can acheieve the block of colour affect.
Note: the names on each bar are just labels.
Please let me know how this example finds you,
