How to Animate a Graph or Either Add Scroll Bars to a Picturebox

I am once again stuck in my Network Simulator project that I have been working on and am in need of help. My problem this time is that I have two graphs that I am manually drawing on a picturebox, yes I know I could use images, but it is what it is. And yeah, I am not drawing on the Paint method of the picturebox because I have multiple method calls that draw different things that I use and I couldn't just move them all into the Paint method. So I have the graph drawn as shown below. But now I need the graph to scroll to the left either automatically or manually with scroll bars.

The problem I am having is that when I add a panel and put the picturebox into it, the scroll bars show up but when you scroll the image disappears. I also tried to use a while loop to animate the drawing on the picturebox and move it a few pixels and redraw the image but I get a lot of flickering then. Most likely because I am not in the Paint method. I actually tried to put the code into the Paint method, but I am using a reference to an array to draw aspects of the GUI, and I can't pass the reference to the Paint methods.

Anyway, I am pasting the code below so maybe someone can give me a hint at what I need to do to get the entire graph showing correctly within the area of the GUI.

Thanks guys!
