With the waveform graph and scatter graph controls and the classes that
interface with the controls, you can perform the following operations:
Plot Operations
Plot and chart arrays of double-precision floating point values, analog
waveforms, and complex waveforms.
Configure a graph to contain multiple plots to show separate but
related data on the same graph.
Draw lines or fills from a plot to an X value, Y value, or another 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.
Use the extensible plot and plot area drawing capabilities and events to
customize the graph appearance.
Use plot data tooltips to display X and Y coordinates when a user
hovers the mouse over a data point.
Create custom point and line styles for plots.
Specify anti-aliased plots for plot lines.
Calculate and display error bands.
Axis Operations
Configure a graph to include multiple axes or independent ranges so
that plot data fits the graph plot area.
Configure the axis modes to: fixed; autoscaling, including autoscaling
based on the visible data only; strip chart; or scope chart.
Use logarithmic axes with configurable bases.
Interactively change the range of an axis and invert the axis at run time
by clicking on the axis end labels.
Display origin lines.
Display captions on the axis.
Display grid lines.
Position the axis to display on one or both sides of the graph’s plot
area.
Configure major, minor, and custom divisions and origin lines.
