• 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.
• Create custom point and line styles for plots.
• Specify anti-aliased plots for plot lines.
• Calculate and display error bands.
• Configure plot to specify how data is saved and restored across HTTP
requests.
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.
• Configure major, minor, and custom divisions and origin lines.
Cursor Operations
• Use cursors to identify key points in plots and the plot area.
• Configure cursor snap modes to be floating, nearest point, or to plot.
• Use cursor labels to display X and Y data coordinates in a customized
format that the cursor crosshair points to, and customize the text font
and colors of the label.
• Create custom point and line styles for cursors.
• Interactively move the cursor by clicking and dragging the vertical or
horizontal crosshair or the center of the cursor.
• Programmatically move the cursor to previous or next position or to a
specified coordinate.
Annotation Operations
• Configure text labels, arrows, and drawing shapes to annotate a point
anywhere in the plot area of the graph.
• Configure range area, text labels, and arrows to annotate a range in the
plot area of the graph.
