How can I plot a large number of data points, or reduce the # of data points I am plotting without losing the “true feel” of the graph?
Users of the Charting Tools often try to display thousands and even millions of points in a single graph. The result is a graph which takes a long time to plot and which looks “smeary” on the screen with extremely thick lines. When large sets of data are displayed in a graph, the data should be “compressed” so that it displays well on an output device like a CRT. This demo program demonstrates how to use the function WGCompressData to reduce large sets of data into smaller, more displayable data sets.
