In y-t charts, the trends are updated incrementally.
The following display modes are usually used:
● Automatic scrolling along the time axis.
● If the trends have reached the right-hand margin, they continue to be recorded starting from
the left again, and the old trends are overwritten one after the other.
● If the trends have reached the right-hand margin, the trend display is cleared and the trends
start again from the left.
