static data graph

[Monse]

I was wondering if it's possible to load data to an XY-Graph once in a vi so that the user can view it.  I'm making a vi that just loads data up into a graph, it's static data saved on the hard drive.  And the main purpose of the vi is to allow the user to scroll through the data, zoom in on it and analyze it, but I don't see th epoint of having to load the data into the vi upon every iteration of my while loop... but maybe there is no way around this.  Is there?

thanks!

You can open data and leave it on the graph. All you have to do is not reinilize the graph when the file is open. Do not set it to a default value anything that would wipe out the data. Writing to the graph etc...
