Spread and Duration.

You don't need/want Options charts, either. The exposure is constantly evolving.

That would work as you look at different terms with a fixed duration. Not a chart of the bond value, though. I am not even sure I should be looking at ZN Futures. There are a lot of adjustments to make to visualize it against other assets.
