Re: Multiple data sets on one gd::graph

What do you mean "lined up". Do you mean you want to do some sort of curve fit so that you can interpolate points and calculate a Y value for specific X values? Do you mean that you want the same X scaling for each line? What is the graph supposed to show (how is it expected to be used)?

Apols for lack of clarity By 'lined-up' I mean consistent Y axis, for both lines (green and red), no over-writing axis titles, or double labelling on y-axis and consistent origin. But I would like to have two sets of x axis labels (one red, one green) to show that there are two sets of years (one 19th century, one 20th century). Basically this is a popultion graph, with one line for each century. Drawing the lines themseles seems fine, its the axis labelling that's a problem. Thanks!	[reply]

I'd be inclined to draw just one set of year labeling using just the tens digits for the year and provide a key for the century line colors. If the users really need the precise data it should be provided in an accompanying table - the graph really just shows the trends. DWIM is Perl's answer to Gödel	[reply]
