Multi Line Series Error

[User (Legacy)]

Hi,

I am having a problem with a multi series line chart using the code below -

 overall = 1

 icount = 1

mcount = 1

ccount= 1

while not .eof

    if datatype = "I" then

        chart.Series(0).Yvalue(icount) = .Fields("DITTA")

        chart.Series(0).Xvalue(icount) = overall

        icount = icount + 1

    end if

    if datatype = "M" then

        chart.Series(1).Yvalue(mcount) = .Fields("DITTA")

        chart.Series(1).Xvalue(mcount) = overall

        mcount = mcount + 1

    end if

    if datatype = "C" then

        chart.Series(2).Yvalue(ccount) = .Fields("DITTA")

        chart.Series(2).Xvalue(ccount) = overall

        ccount = ccount + 1

    end if

    chart.Axis(AXIS_X).Label(overall) = .Fields("DATETIMES")

    overall = overall + 1

    .movenext

wend

As you can see we use a three series XY Chart - the X AXIS is simply the

next point along - ie we get the first value check the data type (i.e which

series) set the Y Value to the DITTA data and the X value is the next point

along (as we do not require scaling etc etc) just that each data type I, M

or C has a different colour ie a different series and eac point is ploted

one after each other.

I think the confusion is the point variable ie icount, mcount and ccount.

In your help files you state that this is the number of points within the

chart - Does this mean the whole chart or the individual series?  Any

clarification on this would be great

The first problem is if i use the icount, mcount ccount - then the X Axis

Label Falls short of the end? and if i use the variables the first axis

label is not displayed.

The second problem is the data for the items starts at 0,0 and has lines

going from this point to the next ( i have tried CHART_HIDDEN and

incrementing the Point +1)

If I plot the items on seperate graphs then they work perfectly :-)

I have attached a picture of the chart for further clarification.

Best Regards (Thanks for any help)

Whenever we refer to the number of points, we refer to the number of points

per series.

All series must contain the SAME number of points. If you want to stop a

series short of the end, simply fill the remaining Y-Values with

CHART_HIDDEN.
