What chart should I use for a mobile device with live tag trends?

We currently use the Easy Chart in Vision to view live tag values that do not have history enabled. Here is a pic of the config for one of the charts:

And here is one of the displayed tags:

This particular Easy Chart is set up with a drop down selector for a time range from 5 minutes to 4 hours. The pic shows 30 minutes. The white and red lettering are overlayed components.

I would like to duplicate this in Perspective for mobile devices, specifically a phone for a few of our technicians. I understand this will have to be a horizontal view, with some sort of tag selection ability. But what chart would make the most sense?

Thanks.

Edit:
I had forgotten that each tag's value is stored to a DB table using a transaction group. This probably provides some sort of history for the chart (I am assuming this is the case.)

I’d recommend you check out the Embr Charts module.

The first-party charting options for Perspective in 8.1 and 8.3 have known issues, this is targeted by IA for rework in the next major release of Ignition (i.e. not in 8.3’s life cycle).
