"for loops" and the use of variables (like in imperative languages like C/Java) are implemented differently in xslt. recursion is often used. i recommend doing a search on "functional programming" and "xslt" in google. there are probably many examples of how to write "functions" similar to yours in xslt..
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 3/21/03 6:55 AM Subject: XSL and script code - please help Hi all, I am currently developing a histogram (svg) to be included in the Cocoon portal. The current solution for generation of the SVG code is XSL only. Now I would like to add an algorithm for y-axis autoscaling (see 'pseudocode' below). I am not sure how to do this in pure XSL e.g. -is there a fract() function ? I know that a floor function exists. - But what about the loop ? - What about passing variables to this code (and getting them back into the XSL script) ? - Do I need further (script-)extensions to XSL to do this ? Best regards, Holger ******************************************* iReg=1; regA=10**floor((max-min)/#-of-tics); <top loop> iReg++; reg9=regA*floor(min/regA); reg8=reg9+#-of-tics*regA; if(max>reg8){ (would exit the loop if <=) if(fract(iReg/4)==0) {regA=1.25*regA;} else {regA=2*regA;} { <bottom loop> ********************************************* ___________________________________________________ The ALL NEW CS2000 from CompuServe Better!
