How can I show text sentence on XY graph

Question

Hello,,,, anyone knows??? How can I show text sentence on XY graph?
I just know that the only numeric data type can be the input data but my case I have both the number and message to show on the same graph.

Answer 1

You start out with an array of zero size. Since replace array subset does not change the size of an array, you stay with zero annotations. If nothing is there, you cannot replace it.
Possible solutions:
(A) Instead of reading the current annotation list (which is zero!), you could initialize the shift register with a diagram constant (right-click...create constant), expand it to the desired number of elements and make them all e.g. with a blank text.
(B) Alternatively, you can manually create the desired number of annotation by right-clicking on the graph and select "data operations...create annotations". Now you start of with an array of the correct size if you read the annotation list with a property node and you can replace them programmatically with new annotations as desired.
(C) You can also initialize the shift register with an empty array, then use built array to add annotations.
