Re: histogram record and CSS XY Graph

["gennaro.tortone@na.infn.it" <tortone@na.infn.it>]

Hi,
I just tried to define a const://array in CSS in order to plot X axis with
a different PV but the problem is always the same, the histogram 'store'
values correctly but when you plot it X axis refers to 'index' of array;

just to be more clear imagine that you want to plot a temperature
histogram where lower bound is -30 and upper bound is +30 with 61 bins
(one for each temperature value);

if you store temperature value '-30' it will stored in histo[0]
if you store temperature value '0' it will stored in histo[30]
if you store temperature value '+30' it will stored in histo[60]

well, if you plot this histogram in CSS with XYgraph widget you will
see X axis starting from 0 to 60 with three little bars located at start
in the middle and at end of graph; the problem is that X axis value is
the 'index' and not the 'value' of the temperature. I'm looking for a
method to display 'value' with a X-axis between -30...+30;

Thanks in advance,
Gennaro
