xy graph with scroll capability

In LabVIEW, version 6, Examples, General, Graphs, charts.llb, there is a VI named "Variable-Time Chart XY.vi". If one seeks contextual help on the xy-graph on the front panel or looks at the "description and tip" the VI author wrote specifically for this xy-graph on this VI, the following text appears.

"Displays the data. The delta X between points is determined by a tick count reading on the block diagram. Note that the XY Graph "scrolls" by setting the X axis range via the graph attribute node. A scrollbar could also be implemented to allow perusal of previous data."

My question revolves around the very last statement above, "A scrollbar could also be implemented to allow perusal of previous data."

Can someone share how
a scrollbar COULD BE IMPLEMENTED in that specific case?? Any help would be much appreciated.. thanks..

I don't now if you can make this. But i have another idea - you can insert slide control, select range of it, and control by its value your graph scale range parameters.
Look attached vi.

I appreciate your help. I was just beginning to investigate doing just what you suggested when your answer and sample vi came along. Thanks muchly. I have incorporated a similar slide approach into my XY graphs and am refining it now. Again, thanks for the help...

How do you control the range of it? I have just started using this program and I have no idea how you make it move more than 10 units. A little help would be greatly appreciated.
