in reply to Re^2: perl bar graph
in thread perl bar graph

poss:

Sorry for the delay in replying, but I had to wait until I got back to my work computer to review the code & figures.

Anyway, when you say "the values do not follow the bars", do you mean that the numbers aren't shown immediately above each bar? When I run it, the values seem to follow nicely. If your numbers are appearing elsewhere, or aren't changing positions with the tops of the bars, then I'd have to guess that there are some module/library version differences going on.

    Hi roboticus
    Yes that is indeed what I am saying
    For my data points
    my @data = (
    'Windows', 'Linux', 'Solaris' ,
    # Swap the next two lines to switch versions of the graph
    150, 250, 350 ,
    100, 200, 300 ,
    # 100, 200, 300 ,
    # 150, 250, 350 , );
    By uncommenting one or the other <above>, the bar color sizes do update properly, but the numbers are ALWAYS
    150, 250, 350
    on the top bar and
    100, 200, 300
    on the bottom bars.
    Weird
    I am using perl, v5.8.2 built for sun4-solaris if that is any help.
    Other than that I am using your exact example.
    Thanks
    Paul

      poss:

      Very strange: I'm definitely having the numbers follow the boxes. Are you having the boxes change size when you flip the lines?

      Just for reference, I'm using perl 5.18.1, GD::Graph v1.48 on MacOS X.
