Hi Todd, I was able to find the solution thanks to several posts made by dwventer. Thank you for your assistance with this problem.

If anyone else needs a bread crumb to the solution, see this:

> So I found plenty of examples where I can plot a chart using something like the vtkChartXY and vtkContextView object. Something like “pvtContextViewChart-\>GetScene()-\>AddItem(pvtChart);” is needed. Can something please then tell me how do I add the Chart object to the vtkMFCWindow object?
