I have a servo motor which feeds back its velocity while running.
I wish to make a window that can show the velocity data graphically -
just like the CPU usage history in windows task manager...

Any idea on how to make this?

For drawing a chart, you can have a look at one of my article about a chart control: High-speed Charting Control[^].

Pretty much any charting answer is "look at Cedric's control" !

You da chart guy!

Iain.
Allocate a circular buffer, sample the value with a timer (let's say ... 1/10 of a second ?) and queue the values in the buffer, throwing away the oldest.

At the same time, invalidate a window, and paint a line whose amplitude is proportional to the maximum expected value, respect to the window height.

How to do that in C++ over windows ... I suppose you have the basics, otherwise, I don't see how ca you afford whatever programming problem.
