I want to make a simple linear graph of blood-pressure readings over a month with a minimum interval of half an hour. (Greater intervals will have to be 'understood' by interpolation.)
Ideally the background would be squares (to make it easier for me...) and it doesn't matter whether the plotted lines are vertical or horizontal - just so long as they are scrollable.
Exportability to pdf would be an advantage
All suggestions appreciated.

First thought is LibreOffice Calc.
Col 1, date and time Col 2 PB reading Col3... any other readings - e.g.
C0 R1 R2 R2 R3 C1 DateTime BP1 BP2 ? C1 14/6/13 22:30 120 80 C2 15/6/13 09:00 121 81 C3 18/6/13 09:00 124 82
etc
Drag a selection over the data. Click Insert Click Chart Choose Line (with points)
That any good? NB I don't know if it will scroll. If you add data, you will need to edit the chart and change the data ranges
These list several plotting tools - I dunno if they're any good. http://www.linuxlinks.com/article/20100518160111534/PlottingTools.html http://linux.about.com/od/howtos/l/blsc6.htm
Good luck Steve

I'll have a gander, thanks - I did look at Libre Office Draw, but missed these possibilities in Calc, since stats, spreadsheets, etc are esoteric juju to me. I shall play.
