multiple colors, 2 series (scatter)

[Software FX]

Hi,

I am attaching a complete source code which shows how to set different points for the same series. The sample has just one series called 'Machine1', this machine has different activity states as Off, On, Down, Starved. This particular sample requires for the states of the machine be repeated, it means, the machine can be 'off' for couple hours and later be 'on' for 3 more hours and be 'off' again after that, therefore, the colors can be repeated from red to blue, and from blue red. To plot this behavior is necessary to set the first 4 colors to send the colors of the legend (on, off, down, starved), later, set the colors for every point, since the colors for colorize the legends were already taken the colors you set for every point will let you repeat them for on, off, on activity states with out change the legends.

Whether you want another sample, please visit or kb at http://support.softwarefx.com/chartfx/ . Remember in this sample that 'NumberOfPoints' is a variable which could be defined as an integer.

'get ld_data1

'get ld_data2

..

object.Series(0).Yvalue(j,ld_data1)

object.Series(1).Yvalue(j,ld_data2)

IF x='F' THEN

  object.Color(???????,RGB(255, 0, 0))

 ELSEIF x= 'O' THEN

  object.Color(???????,RGB(0,0,255))

 ELSEIF xl="V" THEN

  object.Color(??????? ,RGB(0,255,0))

 ELSEIF xl="I" THEN

  object.Color(???????,RGB(255,255,50))

 ELSE

  object.Color(???????,RGB(0,0,0))

 END IF
