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

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.

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
