Actually, change 2 lines and I think it'll work better: Line 932, change to: updateGridRect(rectangle [gridLeft(), tPadding + tNeededTop, mWidth - tPadding - mMaxYLabelWidth, gridBottom()]) Line 1061 change to: fill text tString at left of rectangle [tYRight + gridPadding(),tY-20,tYRight + mMaxYLabelWidth + gridPadding(),tY+20] on this canvas On Sun, May 27, 2018 at 10:05 PM, Mike Bonner wrote: > I floundered around cluelessly with it for a bit, randomly changing a few > things till I got something that seems to work.

Re: Graphing Solution...
I floundered around cluelessly with it for a bit, randomly changing a few things till I got something that seems to work. I'm sure there are things I still misunderstand about this, and that I've added code that probably doesn't need to be there. Also not sure if there will be issues with larger labels etc, but if you're interested, the modified stuff can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bsj0u87tlg54xt2/com.livecode.widget.linegraphyright.zip?dl=1 If you do a diff of the stock lcb and the lcb in the zip archive, you can see all my (unremarked) floundering differences. As it sits though, the default data comes up and displays fine.

The source file is graph.lcb, and where it's stored depends on what operating system you're working with. /Extensions/com.livecode.widget.linegraph so on my linux system, I've got it in /opt/livecodecommunity-9.0.0.x86_64/Extensions... and obviously it will be in different places on Windows and OSX. But beware that coding in LCB is quite different from "normal" LiveCode coding.

Re: Graphing Solution...
In LC9, you could possibly use the line graph widget. The source is available, so you could modify it to support dual y-axis (but I'll admit this wouldn't be trivial to complete). A possibly easier modification would be to add the ability to display the y labels on the right side. Then you could use 2 widget instances, properly aligned, to display the data. The first series in an instance with the left labels and the second in the one with right labels. Another option, depending on how much data is being displayed (and if you need the ability to select a point on the graph and display the value - which would probably require the first solution), would be to fake it . You could take the data for the first y scale and then map the next series to those values for graphing. Then you would just need to display another scale on the right side of the chart to show the values. So for s1 = 1, 2, 3; s2 = 30, 20, 10 You would graph s1 = 1, 2, 3; s2 = 3, 2, 1 (but have a label on the right going from 10 to 30) Thanks, Brian On Sun, May 27, 2018 at 2:21 PM, Glen Bojsza via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I am trying to find a graphing solution that will support dual y - axis > line plots. > > Both sets of data need to be plotted on the same graph so the left Y scale > is used for one set of data that is plotted and the right Y scale is for > the other set of data. > > From what I have found neither ChartMaker or ChartsEngine support this type > of plot. > > Does anyone have any suggestions? > > thanks, > > Glen > ___ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your > subscription preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode > ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Graphing Solution...
Hello, I am trying to find a graphing solution that will support dual y - axis line plots. Both sets of data need to be plotted on the same graph so the left Y scale is used for one set of data that is plotted and the right Y scale is for the other set of data. >From what I have found neither ChartMaker or ChartsEngine support this type of plot. Does anyone have any suggestions? thanks, Glen ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
