Arjen Markus (19 april 2010) I have been musing about extending Plotchart with a few more specialised chart types. The one I have realised so far could - a bit pretentiously - be called a SCADA display (cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCADA ). The code below has a few scars and bruises from the development process, but you will get the idea, I hope.
