Chart Object Beta 8; Ini++ v1.5b RC1

I will try and let you know, looks great

Hi Jax,

Below my comments

IN THE ACTION MENU

1.- when you open dialog to save appears OPEN

IN THE PROPERTIES

General Appereance

Initial background color is black but appears white in the screen (edittime)
you notice only when you save the image or clipboard the graph have the background color.

THING TO ADD

maybe is a good idea in general appereance to add; left, center, top, bottom right alignment.

====================================================

I WISH

If i can change the graph type during runtime.

That i can have several series, not only one.
EDIT: I found that can be done using INI++ 1.5 (great)

That i can define the size of the bitmap when i save the graph.

Comments

1.- I think it will be easy if you have the edit image button disable unless you choose; bar, thin bar or pictograph, but i will put below "Chart Type". it will be more easy to find (inside general appeareance i did have to read the help twice.)

EXCELLENT OBJECT!!!, i will keep testing and let you know

Sorry my bad explanation

The idea is that sometimes having a graphic in the center is not the best, the idea of bringing the graphic top, left, right and down is that the image obtained has a strip of separation that once inserted into the text helps you maintain the text-image separation (in the case you want to make a web page for example).

How to do it, using your commands margins, when pressing on top, (making a margin call as a template) could set the top margin to zero and so on.

With respect to the background color, you could try setting it equal to FRAME color when the object CHART is inserted for the first time (that seems to works).

As regards the background colour, it was set this way because that's how you did things in MMF 1.5, without alpha channels.

The issue of alignment is problematic - you can't draw beyond the bounds of the extension, because you need to draw digits on the axes, and digits protude from the ends. So you can't align the top of the chart area with the top of the entire object.

5. I would have liked to do this but it wasn't required of me at the time

Some notes:
"PUT" - that's an interesting message
Cleartype should be disabled for vertical text - use standard anti-aliasing. (Are you drawing the text then rotating it?)
Pie chart labels in '3d' - if these are displayed in the lower half of the pie chart, perhaps they should be pushed down by the depth of the pie chart, so that they do not overlap it.

You've done a really good job fixing this up!

btw from the docs "Note that discrete line graphs do not mathematically make sense!" - no they do not, blame Excel for this one

Hi ChrisB,

Regarding the alpha color is correct but is solvated if you make the color match the frame at the beginning.

The idea is not to increase the size of the boundary, the idea is to move the graph completely, not padding (well padding is compress the bars or concentrated the graph) i believe this is what is done here), but the idea of the margin is to locate the graph a number of pixel that will help to separate text from the graph

To bring an example, in Web pages when you prepare text and pictures sometime you need to add a blank object(transparent) to keep the separation from the text, this is the general idea.

at the end this is because the graph will be useful to prepare a report for different applications.

Regards,

I have used this in a temp project, and it worked very well.

I am happy with it with the changes you have done
