Better method than using Shift Strip Chart for GLT240128?

I'm trying to mimic a rolling xy chart like an oscilliscope has on my GLT240128.

I had hoped to print a pixel at the right side of a strip chart area, then shift the chart left, then print the next pixel, then shift the chart left etc etc

However, this method turned out to be worthless when I realized it can only shift in 8 pixel increments, not one.

The best compromise I've come up with is to print the last 8 pixels of the right side of the chart, then shift left. However, this is still very uncomfortable on the eyes and brain because it is smooth for the 8 pixels, then it jerks on the shift.

Is there some better method? A copy/paste command would be awesome right now.

The stripchart is the best option for scrolling large area's, if you are doing an oscilliscope with only a single pixel per column it might be faster to just erase the old dots and plot new dots using the set pixel command.
