Hello,
Is there any way to make a video of any format that shows the data points on a graph filling in one at a time. I guess, my question is whether igor has the ability to output video.
thanks,

Making a movie is generally done by writing a simple user-defined function that runs a loop; inside the loop will be code to modify the data in a graph (or other sort of window) and then adds a frame to a movie. Note that the size of the window used to add frames to the movie must be constant. The best results are to be had by creating a graph with all the dimensions fixed. You don't need to fix the size of the window itself as long as you don't change it explicitly, but it can be helpful to fix the axis ranges and the size of the graph margins.
