Hi friends

Lets suppose i have the following data columns

## Time X1 Y1 X2 Y2

2023-08-01 0 1.1 0.5 1.4  
2023-08-02 0 1.9 0.5 3  
…

I need to do a X-Y graph with 2 lines (one for each time).  
Each line connects points (X1,Y1) to (X2,Y2)

Is this even possible in grafana? If so how?

My data comes from InfluxDb, and I don’t know in front how many X-Y points each line will have (in the above example there are only two and in picture 3) and how lines will i have (depends on the number of time series - 3 in the picture below)

Best regards

Hi @ricardosgeral,

Welcome to the :grafana: community support forums !!

We are excited that you joined our OSS community. Please read about some of the [FAQs](https://community.grafana.com/faq) in the community 🙂

I think it should be possible (never done myself though) as there is a blog post for this topic:

> **[Learn Grafana: How to use dual axis graphs | Grafana Labs](https://grafana.com/blog/2020/03/10/learn-grafana-how-to-use-dual-axis-graphs/)**
>
> Why on earth would you need another Y axis? In this post you'll learn about dual axis graphs in Grafana and when you should use them.

Also, you can use the grafana core XY Chart panel or use [this](https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/michaeldmoore-scatter-panel/) community one as to test it it out.

I hope this helps.
