Stripchart Widget - Orientation        

 
The value of this attribute sets the orientation of the chart in its window. This transformation is the LAST to be applied, so it affects all of the other directional attributes equally. "UP" is the standard orientation in which:
 
·
The data origin is in the lower-left corner of the display window
·
The STRIPCHART data-surface scrolls only to the left
·
The X axis is horizontal
·
The Y axis is vertical
 
If the ORIENTATION is changed, the normal top of the chart now points in the new direction. For example, an orientation of "LEFT" causes:
 
·
The data origin to be in the lower right corner of the display window
·
The STRIPCHART surface to scroll only down
·
The X axis to be vertical
·
The Y axis to be horizontal
 
If you want to flip one of the axes over, use a negative value for the RANGE attribute and choose an appropriate value for the ORIGIN attribute.
