realtime graph of non-array scalar XY pairs

I am currently working with a VI that monitors temperature and I am trying
to feed XY pairs of time v. Temp to an XY graph. The problem seems to be
that the graph will only accept arrayed numbers and I want to input the
numbers realtime one pair at a time. Has anyone had any luck doing
something like this...it is not in any of the books that I have.

Mitch-
Put the whole thing in a loop with a waveform chart inside the loop for
display. If you wire it to outside the loop it will automatically create an
array for it (e.g. for storage after the loop completed). Does that make
sense?

There is an example in the general/graphs that shows how to do this.
It even includes a subVI that you will want to use.
