The underlying JavaScript code

    xdata = [], ydata = [],
    turt,i;

brd = JXG.JSXGraph.initBoard('jxgbox', {axis:true, boundingbox:[0,20,30,-2]});

turt = brd.createElement('turtle',[],{strokecolor:'#999999'});
turt.hideTurtle().right(90);
for (i=5;i<=15;i+=5) {
    turt.penUp().moveTo([0,i]).penDown().forward(30);
}


fetchData = function() {
    new Ajax.Request('/ajax/fakesensor.php', {
        onComplete: function(transport) {
            var t, a;

                if (!g) {                   // If the curve does not exist yet, create it.
                    g = brd.createElement('curve', [xdata,ydata],{strokeWidth:3, strokeColor:'yellow'});
