I don't think too many people use the charts page, plus I think it might have been added later than a lot of installs' code.

Ok cheers - I was assuming the change would need to be in the bar chart section as all the other types seem to work ok.
But adding where you have definitely seems to have fixed it without causing any problems with the other types.
I can't believe this hasn't cropped up previously.
Cheers

You don't need to: I did yMin =- yMin * 0.9 etc, so the new yMin is already calculated for these calcs - is that right?

When you say "Here you go" - was there meant to be an attachment?

Did you change tempH = (cd[i][j].y - yMin) * scalar; to tempH = (cd[i][j].y - Math.floor(yMin * 0.9)) * scalar; ? Which certainly gets the first bar appearing or somewhere else?

Here you go: if you have some series of data to test against, that'd be handy.

In calculating yMin for the y-axis, I did Math.floor(yMin * 0.9) which I think is  a sensible solution.

A possible additional bug with the chart page type when choosing bar chart has been highlighted so might need some more magic and although I've just looked and looked again at the script in chart.rlm I seem to lack the mystical powers to even spot where the critter might be :-(

I've been testing this in response to someone asking if they were doing something wrong... with bar chart selected and regardless of how many series are added the first bar doesn't show e.g. http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/moodle/xertetoolkits/play_269

It looks like it's the same on page 18 of the 560 example http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_560

I suspect it's an [i] or a [j] or a ++ out of place but I can't spot it! :-(

Any ideas?
Cheers
Ron

Hi all
seemed better to post this here rather than the other lists...

Has an error crept in with recent developments with the chart page colour picker?
I was delivering some training yesterday using XOT and on this particular XOT install when trying to set the chart colour with the picker it seems to be appearing below rather than above the data entry box e.g.

[cid:image001.jpg at 01CCE019.74B27B40]

I've tested this morning by replacing various files from an install where this is working as it should but also just tested by creating a new page template project with Xerte rather than XOT and the same issue arises. It doesn't appear to be the chart.xwd causing the problem but I could be wrong about that. I'll have another look later but wondering if everyone has the same problem and where it might be if not in chart.rlm?

Cheers
Ron
