Dear friends,
I m developing a chart based software where my X-axis values are not evenly spaced something like below. I need to plot a line graph with following X-axis values and Y-axis is increasing from 0.1 to 1.5 taking random values. I also need every X-axis point as an X-value label for the axis.

Dim xPoints() As String = {"0.01", "0.05", "0.10", "0.20", "0.30", "2", "3", "4", "5", "10", "20", "30", "40","50", "60", "70", "80", "90", "100", "200", "300", "400", "500", "600", "700", "800","900", "1000"}

Please suggest to me a solution for the same.
Thanks in advance.

What I have tried:

I have tried various combinations of intervals and also putting the direct values of x and y but nothing works.

Why, on earth, are you using string instead of proper data type?

To expand on Maciej's comment. You should not be using xPoints at all. Your set should be a set of Point objects, each containing the x and y values (as proper numeric types). It then becomes easy to find the lowest and highest values, and to plot each point.

If you're trying to do a histogram for say "gauge sizes", I see where you're going.

They're "group labels"; usually for a frequency chart.
