dynamic bar charts

[MacroSteve webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hi,

Does anyone know of any good tutorials/demos for a dynamic bar chart? I've looked everywhere, I found plenty of pie charts but no bar charts. What I want to do is more compicated than just adjusting the height of some sprites. I need to adjust the axis contents depending on the data input and it needs to be capable of displaying positive and negative values on the same graph (like Excel graphs can do).

Thanks

Steve

Sounds like it a special enough application to require you to custom
code it, you may want to study up on puppet sprites or imageing lingo.

If the graph will have a know max qnantity of elements (bars and labels)
you can probably implement it all with puppet sprite tool window rects
and text members.

If there can be an unknown variable number of elements, it might be best
to implement using imaging lingo, to overlay bitmap text you can get the
image of a text member, and copy it onto composition.

You can also modify a vetor member'e vertexList on the fly, the fill
effects in vector graphocs can be useful. one can also get the image of
a vector member if composition in text with imageing lingo is needed.
