Using Stack 7.13.4  
I am plotting some binary data (e.g. oscillates between 0 and 1) and I want basically a square wave style graph.

I cannot get the transitions from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 0 to show a vertical line. I just see the horizontal lines at 0 or at 1.

Is it possible to get the transitions between 0 and 1 to show as vertical lines?

Thanks,

Michael

Hey @mhare,

How are you creating your graph?

If I use a line graph in Visualize, with `Line mode: Stepped`, it does what you're describing.

My data set has more than just 0s and 1s, but, besides that, I think this is what you want to see.

Is this helpful?

OK, gave it a try. Had to use a TSVB to get the stepping function, but it is working!

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!
