How to create a 2D graph of a value?

point

Hi,

this is a bit of a shot in the dark; but the last time I had a burning question it was answered perfectly, so here goes:

I have a value in my composition that travels from 0 to 1 over a specific duration of time. I'd really like to be able to overlay a graph on my composition showing the shape of this value's curvature. A simple y versus x 2D graph.

Vertical range obviously need only be 1, but horizontal range is variable and the graph would need to scale itself to stay within range horizontally.

I guess I'm just hoping that someone might have already made a .qtz at some point for doing simple graphs and I could just patch it in...

Thanks, for any tips

An example of one way to plot values over time: http://kineme.net/composition/smokris/Oscilloscope

I use ACplotter for this:

Thanks for both of those comments --

but I wonder if anyone knows of a static graph, rather than an animated one like the examples above?.

If anyone knows After Effects: the best example I can give is the graph-view, where you can get a view of what any given values are doing over the course of your timeline. The visible horizontal range is defined by your timeline viewing range, the same as when working with layers, and the vertical range can be set to auto-scale so you can see the shape of the graphs clearly.

I was hoping to find a graphing solution that would let me see a static graph of a value over a defined time range e.g. 0 to 10 seconds, and just scale that graph to fit...it's a bit complex I realize, because it would have to artificially sample that value at a series of points in time, and plot them all at once -- rather than draw it while time is running (which is what the examples in the comments above are doing)

Anyone?
