How do I create a bar graph based on textbox inputs?

Hey korbaach, I have another question here. It's about sub-bars. I'm curious, how would I go about creating three thinner sub-bars for/beside each month's bar, and based on what number you type into the new/extra textbox, it will effect one the three sub-bars beside the corresponding month's bar?

I'm pretty sure I'll need two new textbox's actually rather than one. One to type in the sub-bar tag-name, and then another one to type in and specify a number amount.

I have a different idea...

how about one new button to toggle between "Bar Mode" and "subBar Mode"

(boolean instance variable for Textbox: subBar_Mode-false)

and another button(3 instance) to "Activate" specific subBar...(similar to mothButtons and Bars)

so..if Textbox is set "subBar_Mode-false" you add Textbox value to Bars...

if Textbox is set "subBar_Mode-True" you add Textbox value to subBars....

and you don't need new Textbox(or two)...

What do you think ?

Hey korbaach! Wow, yeah. It looks great but, where's the month bars? I only see the three sub-bars for each month, but not the main month bars. Also, again, can I use/dl the capx to learn from (like I said before, I have a lot easier time learning the code, by playing around with the code... that way, I could change things and see the effects of what I do immediately).

Hey korbaach! Yeah, thanks soo much. It's exactly what I envisioned. I've really learned a lot from you. Thanks again for all the help!

Hey korbaach! I've been working with you capx (I made a slide effect so that the buttons/menu/texbox are on the left and graph is on the left), but I still have a couple of problems:

First off, on 'on start of layout', the 'TextYear' text shows, but the 'mimicTextYear' text behind it doesn't seem to act as a shadow until you click the up or down button. Second, when you press the 'BtnMode', the frames on the 'BtnSubBar' button all show the initial frame of 3-3-3, instead of 1-2-3. Lastly, when you press the 'BtnSubBar' buttons, the 'SUBbAR' object doesn't show up at all.

Can you help me with this capx?

Hey — I sent you a smaller version of the capx (I sent it to you in a PM). It's less than 100 lines and it now has 4 layers. Can I get some help with it, please?

Please korbaach lol, I really need your help man. I just need to figure out these last few things.

Hey korbaach, could you help me out? I have a little problem.

The 'bar' only goes up to a certain height. It's scaled properly, but how can I change the max height that it goes up to?

Can you show me with this capx? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/541 ... ample.capx

Thanks man.

Height is limited to 250 px

just find all events where you set bar height to clamp....and change value to 350 or..

Hey korbaach, thanks a lot. Fixed it!

Hey — There appears to be another slight problem now, that came out of nowhere:(...

When I click on the the year '2015' and type in 10, it shows up on the graph fine.

Like so.

But when I click on another year like '2016'....

... and then click back on the year '2015', like so.

The January bar/10 (along with all other bars, if I were to input the data for another month/bar) on the '2015' graph changes. The bar/s becomes much larger, in terms of height.

What happened? All I've recently changed was the height of bars from 250 to 419. Do you know what's causing the problem?

Thanks.

guannstar you probably made some mistake when you change action in "update" function..

compare events with previus version of capx...

I just tested and works great for me...

Hey — Yeah, you were right. Fixed it! Thanks man.
