Some questions and one big problem

Ah Super ! I finally found the solution, by ensuring that it scrolls by day, and that the data falls on specific identifiable moments. But I will test next time with the new version to see :)

Thanks for your answers.

Some more points now (ahah sorry) :

• I'm not to understand what do you means about sync problem ? I tried some changes, like day, month and year parameters, and other things, but sync is still broken. I had made som changes about the time of the excel file, moving from "standard" case for the yars "2001, 2002, etc" to "complete date" case, like "monday 1 february 2000". It helps me to begin and to end the line charts at the date that I want (hope could help you too, if needed), but it didn't have any impact about sync problems...

• I spend a lot of times in your pdf docs, your github and trying some things. I found "draw_points" and can changed it, thanks a lot.

• But I also looked at bar_stripes class that you mentionned, and Total.total that you mentionned in question on github. And I dont understand how that features work : should I do an entire thing like "line1 = LineChart.line_chart(canvas=canvas, df=df, colors=colors, height=400, width=450, x_pos=150)" for them. I add two screenshots of the things that i found in your docs, if it could help to illustrate :
  

To conclude, I want to show you a thing that i'm working on, to create a more larger template, and it is very cool and nice, and i like to work with your tools, even it's hard and complicated, and sometimes a bit limited ahah

Hope you could be happy too, looking some cool things doing with your tools :)

Hi Victor,

Thank you for sending the screenshot. I am always keen on seeing how my tool is being used.

I will be working on a fix for the sync issue soon hopefully. Just to reiterate on it, the reason it is going wrong is that the ticks on the x-axis are picked somewhat at random and behind the scenes they correspond to an actual date. So 2001 might correspond to 31 of March 2001, 2002 to 31 of July of that year, 2003 to 13 of December, etc. So the gap between the ticks is equal in the number of days but it could be that one year is not visable, as seen in your screenshot for 2005. Hope I didn't make it more confusing for you...

Your question about the bar_stripes, I wouldn't touch this for now. What I meant is that if you are familiar with python you can update this code in the background, but I would refrain from doing this.

You are correct about the total. Just create a new object using Total.total and pass in the canvas and your data frame. Something like this:

from sjvisualizer import Total, Canvas

canvas = Canvas.canvas()

t = Total.total(canvas=canvas, df=df)
canvas.add_sub_plot(t)

You can also set the x_pos and y_pos, and the height as for any sub_plot.

Hope this helps you.

Kind regards,

Sjoerd

Thanks for your global answer, and about bar charts details.

To show you what I mean about Line problem with dates, look at the sync between points and date, in that screenshot : The first points are not above 2003, the following are between 2003 and 2004, etc...

The bigger problem with that is that because the dots aren't in sync with the years, it gives the wrong impression to people watching, and they may think things start mid-year.

I have another question: when the graph progresses, the small intermediate points disappear: is it possible that they never appear? (like here)

And is it possible that the data is displayed when the point is crossed (for example: 25 in 2001, then the 25 disappears and it is the 29 in 2002 which appears at the next point)?

Another time, thanks a lot for your tools and your answer,

From France !
