Hi there,
I am trying to display a begining time string and a end time string on a
plot as shown in the following figure using
fl_set_xyplot_alphaxtics("xx:xx:xx|yy:yy:yy").

xx:xx:xx yy:yy:yy
I have encountered two problems:
1. The fl_set_xyplot_alphaxtics() seems to interfere with the
fl_set_xyplot_xbounds(). For example, if I set the bounds to be (0,100)
then it works, meaning no tics and the time strings appear at the correct
location. But if I set them to (0,60), then there are two tics and the end
string appears at the first tic as follows.
| | | |
xx:xx:xx yy:yy:yy
It seems like when I use fl_set_xyplot_alphaxtics() instead of
fl_set_xyplot_xtics(), Xforms internally calulate the number of tics to put
on the x-axis regardless what is specified in the
fl_set_xyplot_alphaxtics(), and then position the end string yy:yy:yy at
the first tic.
2. I also tried to use @minVal, and @maxVal in fl_xyplot_alphaxtics() to
force the strings to be displayed at the right spot. But xforms just ignore
the @ sign and display the whole thing as a string.
In the program I use
fl_set_xyplot_alphaxtics("5:12:00@0.0|5:13:30@60.0")
and the result is
| | | |
5:12:00@0.0 5:13:30@60.0
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
