<h2>Graph2d | Streaming data</h2>
<p style="max-width: 700px;">
This example demonstrates how to apply streaming data input to the Graph2d. The example shows two different ways to let the window move along with the new data, and there are more strategies for that. Note also that it is possible to disable moving and/or zooming the graph by setting options <code>moveable</code> and <code>zoomable</code> false.

Struggled more than I would've wanted in order to get this working, so I thought I'd share. It shows two different streamed graphs being plotted at the same time.
