Figure 2-1. Waveform Graph with Cursors and Scatter Graph with XY Point

Annotation; Both Graphs Have Corresponding Legends

With the waveform graph and scatter graph controls and the classes that

interface with the controls, you can perform the following operations:

• Plot and chart data.

• Configure a graph to contain multiple plots to show separate but

related data on the same graph.

• Configure a graph to include multiple axes or independent ranges so

that plot data fits the graph plot area.

• Draw lines or fills from a plot to an X value, Y value, or plot.

• Specify plots in the scatter graph control as X and Y data. Specify plots

in the waveform graph control as X or Y data and optionally with date

and time scaling.

• Specify anti-aliased plots for plot lines.

• Use plot data tooltips to display X and Y coordinates when a user

hovers the mouse over a data point.

• Use cursors to identify key points in plots and the plot area.

• Configure cursor snap modes to be fixed, floating, nearest point,

andtoplot.
