( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Hey, I'm in need of some Monk wisdom. I've been dorking around with GD::Graph to try to plot an x,y line graph with lots o' points (>1000). I've got the basics working fine. Well, I'd like to label the maxima, or maybe the 10 biggest y values by using the show_values option. The problem is if I turn labeling on with my "thousand points of light" I've got way too many data point labels and everything runs together. I'm wondering if anyone knows a way to label just a few without blowing away the rest of the points. I've tried using the $data->copy method, followed by setting values to undefined but that does not appear to do what I want. It seems like when you say show_values it always wants to show_values for all data points. Thanks in advance for the help!

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
