Hey guys,

i was wondering if it is possible to fit a graphic with a scroll bar...for instance i am planning to plot points on a graphic control, however it will be plotting with time, so as time goes by, the graphic is going to get bigger and bigger...for it to stay on the GUI i really want the visible part of the graphic to remain the same size, just the user uses a scroll bar to scroll the graphic from left to right. I hope i have explained this well enough?

Many thanks

EDIT: I am going to be trying to do this using...

Sure its possible. Create A child GUI with scroll bars. I might be able to whip up an quick example for you :mellow:
