The Difference Between Chart and Graph in LabVIEW

We can use chart and graph to display our acquired data or waveforms. In general, they looks alike, but there still is difference between them which we should note in our VI programming.
The difference is:
Chart control has a data buffer which can be used to store some length of history data. Graph control does not have one. And with chart control, you can scroll to the left to view data in the buffer. With graph control, you have to load the old waveform and plot it on the graph by your VI.
So, chart is suitable for online data display, and graph is suitable for offline data analysis.
