Hi David,
You can find an example in $ROOTSYS/tutorials/timeonaxis.C
Run this example
  root > .x timeonaxis.C
on the picture, you can zoom the time axis directly
with the mouse.

This example shows a static chart. It would be trivial to modify it
to add data with time. Note that you will not see any flickering
when updating the picture. By default, ROOT always use
double buffer mode.

Damir Buskulic may want to add something to this mail.
I am sure he has many examples with dynamic stripcharts.
