User (Legacy) Posted March 11, 2002 Report Share Posted March 11, 2002 I'm sure this question has been asked and answered at some point, but I haven't been able to find a post on it. Here is my question. If you look at the accompanying image, you'll understand more clearly what I am asking about. Currently I have a graph with one line overlapping another. Ideally, I would like to move away from overlapping and start the second line where the first one left off. Also, in the legend, I would like to display only the information for each line as follows: Example of what I have now in the legend: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 x x x x x x x x x x y y y y y y y y y y What I would like: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 x x x y y y y y y y Please help me out Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted March 11, 2002 Report Share Posted March 11, 2002 A few questions: 1) When you say "a line overlapping another" do you mean you have two data series with the same or similar Y values ? 2) What do you mean by "where the first one left off" I couldn't understand what you need by your posting , a bitmap with what you get and what you want to get would help. -- FP Software FX, Inc.

User (Legacy) Posted March 11, 2002 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2002 Answers to question: 1.) Yes. But I don't want to do this. The reason I have two lines with the same Y values(up until a certain x value) is because I don't know how to start a line in the middle of the graph...where the first line stops. Basically I would like to know how to start a second line in the middle of the graph, rather than the beginning. 2.) The first line I would like to draw from x = 0 up until x = 7 (for example). The second line I would like to draw from x > 7. I would like to display the legend in a similar manner. Here is a jpg of what I have, and what I would like. Please notice the legend as well: "SoftwareFX Support" <support@softwarefx.com> wrote in message news:EPcEZsTyBHA.1412@webserver1.softwarefx.com... > A few questions: > > 1) When you say "a line overlapping another" do you mean you have two data > series with the same or similar Y values ? > > 2) What do you mean by "where the first one left off" > > I couldn't understand what you need by your posting , a bitmap with what you > get and what you want to get would help. > > -- > FP > Software FX, Inc. > > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted March 12, 2002 Report Share Posted March 12, 2002 Using X/Y values, you can assign ANY X-Vale to the first point. So the second series can start anywhere. If one of the series is shorter than the other, just fill out the space at the end with CHART_HIDDEN as the value. I did not get the JPEG but I think I understand now. If this is not what you are looking for, please post the JPEG -- FP Software FX, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted March 12, 2002 Report Share Posted March 12, 2002 Sorry. I now see the JPEG,. Another way of achieving this is without using X-Values is by using CHART_HIDDEN. You can fill out the beginning of your yellow series as well as the end of the blue series with CHART_HIDDEN as the value. You can try both approaches and see which one you like better. -- FP Software FX, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
