Looks like this property was missed in some way. I’ll make an internal bug report for this now. Thanks for showing this. With how complicated the XY chart is, I am glad to see some additional eyes on it. ---

No, sorry. The only real update is that it has been prioritized to be done before release. No ETA currently otherwise. ---

Hi, Can you help me?, about how to insert data into XY chart? we have a dataset (22row, 1 column) using this we can plot using easy chart on vision module, but now, we make the migration to perspective and it isn´t clear how to insert data in XY chart. Thanks for your help. ---

This is probably the only "simple" example on the forums. The thing about the XY chart is that it is currently bloated with options to give as much flexibility as possible but does not ease the new user into any of it. I believe there are plans to make it more simple but for the time being I'd suggest really digesting the sample project provided here and then playing with the other options afterwards. > [@\[Question\] XYChart with Tag History](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/question-xychart-with-tag-history/21021/5): > > Sorry for the late response but, the queryHistory() function that is used in the demo project is located in the Project \> Scripting \> Script Library \> history file on the project browser for the demo project. Although I will warn you, it is very complex and probably more than what a normal history binding should look like. I’ve attached a more simple example of history binding using the XYChart.
