+The StripChart widget is used to provide a roughly real
+time graphical chart of a single value. For example,
+it is used by the common client program <function>xload</function>
+to provide a graph of processor load. The StripChart
+reads data from an application, and updates the chart
+at the <function>update</function> interval specified.
