how to make a digital graph in C#?

[Bradley1234]

Im trying to make a graph display that will show as an oscilloscope shows
with the wavy lines?

Are there methods or simple ways to convert say, byte wide or 16 bit data
chunks into such a graphic readout?

National Instruments and Matlab use such displays, but is that kind of thing
either public domain or simple to write?

Ive got a trial version of LabWindows that might have an Ax or dll? to use
but how?

I would suggest you consider SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) [1].

Wow, thanks for the link. SVG is awesome! It gives me hope.

So from the w3c and the svg.org websites, it appears to be a powerful
language spec. At present Im reading page after page, but nothing on how to
download something to get started.

I found a Microsoft graph sample
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...graphfiles.exe

For some reason, there is no such thing as "FileSystemWatcherBetter.cs" so
you need to remove this from the assembly in solutions explorer; And the
breakpoint being on is a minor gotcha; but it makes the shapes Im looking
for. Now I want to change the attributes on the background and color, add a
grid or graticule

There are quite a few graph articles on codeproject. SVG is slow if you are
trying to animate in real time.

Check out VG.net for sure as it looks promising but also go to adobe.com and
get their SVG control and view their SVG samples. Performance claims aside,
SVG is on the standards track. You'll also want to Google: "microsoft xaml"

Hey thanks, everyone for all those links, XAML? wow, this VG stuff is too
cool
