This example demonstrates a real-time chart with a viewport control. It is based on the
Real-Time Chart with Zooming and Scrolling sample code in the ChartDirector
distribution with the following changes:
- The horizontal scrollbar is replaced with a Viewport Control that also updates in real-time.
- The data source is changed to running in a separate thread like that in the
Multithreading Real-Time Chart sample code.
- The y-axis labels are moved inside the plot area. This allows a wider plot area as it is
no longer necessary to reserve space outside of the plot area for the labels.
