Sample stock graph

That looks nice. So what is the problem?

What's wrong with scale factors? That's how you fit different size stuff onto graphs which go on the same size screen.

As far as 'upside downing'.... I just did this with the Haru PDF library. I am USED TO and PREFER to have the origin (0,0) at the upper left, working in inches.

Haru wants Origin at LOWER left, measuring in points . Two dinky little functions solved the whole thing:

FUNCTION TO_XPOINT ( inches AS SINGLE) PRIVATE AS HPDF_REAL
    FUNCTION = inches * 72!
END FUNCTION

' convert Y in INCHES FROM TOP OF PAGE
' to PDF points FROM BOTTOM OF PAGE
' A page is %PAGE_HEIGHT_POINTS high

FUNCTION TO_YPOINT (inches AS SINGLE) PRIVATE AS HPDF_REAL
   FUNCTION = %PAGE_HEIGHT_POINTS - (inches * 72!)
END FUNCTION

All the detail printing code looks like:

             ' new page needed
             ' first print a $LIT_CONTINUED at designated place on THIS page
              x2  =   %X_CONTINUED/100! + lMargin
             [COLOR="Red"] xPos =  TO_XPOINT(X2)[/COLOR]
              Y2   =  Y2 + %CY_LI_LINES/100
              [COLOR="Red"]Ypos =  TO_YPoint ( Y2)[/COLOR]
              szText =  $LIT_CONTINUED

X2, Y2 are in inches, with origin at upper left. Xpos and Ypos are passed to printing functions

I'm really hoping to write native code, and not use a plugin.

I currently use scale factors, and subtract the plot values from the window height so that it doesn't plot upside down. But there must be a cleaner way?

Free and PB samples included. A must have.

No, I don't have a link to anything.

I was hoping to see a basic stock graphing example. I looked at the graphics examples in the samples directory, but they are not really applicable.

The two items I am struggling with right now are:

1) How do I divide up my graphics window into pieces, for the various components of the stock chart, and how do I redimension the size of the various pieces so that I don't have to multiply everything by a scale factor?

2) How do I change the title of a window when using the same window to load different symbols?

Do you have a link to an example you are looking for?

In the PBCC 5 Samples, take a look at the GRAPHICS samples. You might find that the PWRGRAPH sample could be of some use in showing some techniques in code.

Also search this and the programming forum for examples. Searching on "chart", you ought to find some additional help in the first several pages of entries by selectively examining some of the topics.

Does anyone have a sample stock graph application code that I could look at?

Thanks,
