Again, i offer my apologies. I got impatient (higher ups riding my arse about
details...) and took it out here, which was the wrong idea.
Unfortunately I do not have any public URLs for you to look at. I am using
this lib as a kind reporting mechanism for the desktop end of our application
OptimalOffice(http://www.logisens.com/optimaloffice). The user would navigate
to web page served by desktop app. Timeplot lives there and is served from
there. I can provide screen shots of some visual issues if that is ok; and
provide code snippets.
I have, however, managed to figure out some of the technical issues i was
having like the problems i was having with running Timeplot "offline" turns
out there was a small logic error in directory structure in build scripts. As
of now my outstanding questions involve how i can use Timeplot and work with
its features, all the while getting a more in-depth education on JavaScript (i
don't expect to solve JS issues here).
First Question:
I haven't quite figured out how one can toggle the "showValues" feature on and
off on the fly. I would ultimately like to click on a control(checkbox or
something) to toggle the showValues. I tried to access a plot's plotInfos,
after creating and populating the plot, to change the showValues property to no
avail.
['plot' created via TimePlot.create()]
...
plot._plotInfos[0]['showValues'] = enable;
this.plot.update();
this.plot.repaint();
Looking in the JSdoc i did not see an obvious way to change plotInfos without
creating a whole new plot.
Second Question:
is it possible to set the precision of axis labels? along the vertical axis i
some times see "overly precise" values. for example: "0.90000000000000001"
anyway I could cut that down to "0.900"?
Third Question:
I am not sure if this is a bug or what. I have a feature that a plot can "auto
update". I do a loadText on the plot's EventSource then an update() and
repaint() on the plot. as i do this it seems that the labelling is not getting
cleared out when repainting. The times along the bottom appear to stay there
and new ones drawn in over old ones, becoming a mess. Same goes with vertical
axies. I am not clearing out the EventSource i am simply loading data from the
time it left off to present, so im effectively adding more data. I can post
screen shots of these effects if that would help.
Thanks for the help! i will remember to take my frustrations out on my little
buddy. :-P http://uploads.ungrounded.net/218000/218014_DAbuddy_latest.swf

meaning?

ChazZ,
sorry
for
the
delay
in
answering
your
questions.
I'm
currently
traveling
and
not
100%
focused
on
answering
timeplot-related
questions,
but
you're
not
doing
anything
wrong
and
I
do
would
like
to
help
you
out
with
your
questions.
One
thing
that
would
help
me
to
help
you
would
be
to
post
a
URL
that
lets
me
see
what
you're
trying
to
achieve
so
that
I
can
read
the
code
and
understand
better.
You're
not
on
your
own,
just
that
we
are
juggling
a
million
balls
and
the
same
time
and
timeplot
is
just
one
of
them
(and
not,
honestly,
the
highest
priority
one
either
ATM).
Please,
help
me
by
writing
an
email
with
the
list
of
questions
that
you
want
about
timeplot
and
I'll
do
my
best
to
answer
it.
