Can I change the background of a graph to a picture?

I am trying to make the background of a graph (x and y position graph) to be a jpeg image (or other saved image on my computer) instead of the default grid lines.

Thanks guys.  Good to know that this is possible.  What are the names of each part?  I am not sure how to find them on the functions pallet.

I'll have to remember that having the pretty pictures right in the message instead of as links gets you the Kudos. Smiley Very Happy

Rodrigo,

 

Don't ever clean out your image gallery.  If you do, that image you have in your message will become a broken link.

 

I've stated in other threads that it is generally a bad idea to use the image gallery.  It is much more reliable if you post your image as an attachment to your message.  Then go back and edit your message and insert the image using the 3rd tab of the image dialog box using the location of the just posted image attachment on the NI server as the image link you want to embed.
