This example demonstrates a real-time multichart with track cursor.
The example is modified from the
Real-Time Chart with Track Line example with the following changes:
- Instead of an XYChart with 3 lines, this example draws a MultiChart containing 3 XYCharts, each with 1 line. The 3 charts are stacked and only the bottom chart has a visible x-axis.
- The track cursor code is modified to use a loop to draw 3 track cursors on the 3 XYCharts.
