Examples
The graph creator XY component must be linked to the graphical LCD using the gLCD Object property.
The X Coord, Y Coord, Width and Height component properties set the size and position of the graph on the gLCD.
In the attached example the ADC component sets the input to the graph. Every 50ms a sample is taken and added to the graph.
Any size of graph can be created. For efficiency it is best to try and stick to the following rules.
- The width should be equal to or a multiple of the X input range - Min Value 0 to Max Value 255 = input range of 256
- The height should be equal to or a multiple of the Y input range - Min Value 0 to Max Value 255 = input range of 256
- If Show Border is enabled then Width and Height should be as above plus 2 to account for the border pixels

Graph Properties |
|
Number Of Plots |
| Determines the number of plots that can be displayed simultaneously on the graph. Monochrome displays can only support a single plot. | |
|
|
Number Of Points |
| Number of data points the graph can store, multiplied by the number of plots. | |
|
|
Graph Style |
| Controls the graph draw style. Point - Draws a single point Line - Draws a line from the last point to the new point | |
|
Min X Value |
| Value to represent the bottom Y axis on the graph | |
|
|
Max X Value |
| Value to represent the top Y axis on the graph | |
|
|
Min Y Value |
| Value to represent the bottom Y axis on the graph | |
|
|
Max Y Value |
| Value to represent the top Y axis on the graph | |
|
|
Show Border |
| Decides if a border for the graph is generated | |
|
|
Show Grid |
| Decides if a X or Y grid is shown for the graph | |
|
|
X Subdivisions |
| Number of horizontal divisions to draw | |
|
|
Y Subdivisions |
| Number of vertical divisions to draw | |
|
|
Theme |
|
Background Colour |
| Determines the graph background colour. | |
|
|
Grid Colour |
| Determines the graph grid colour. | |
