I've created a "Coffee in Cream" random walks program and now I want to create an Entropy (Y) Vs. Time (X) graph.
I know how to create a graph, but how do I get the data?
TIA

I'm not an expert on this stuff, but you should look into axis handles, here is an answer that may help-

No that doesn't answer my question, I must not be explaining it properly.
I want to create an Entropy Vs Time graph based off a random walk. I have the Time data, that's easy. I also have the formula for Entropy (s = -sum(p .* log2(p))). My problem is the probability (p in my formula). I know that I can create a grid and from that find out how many molecules of cream are in a certain area in the grid, that gives me p. I just don't know how to do it.
Thanks for the link however, I did learn new information that I'll use in the future.
