Do you have a small code snipplet (in C++) on how to draw an arrow that points on a spot (point) on a graph?
With the arrow, dotted lines that goes on the respective coordinates (X,Y) of that specefic point on the graph .

THX!

Here is some code but i get processing error [Activate(2)] and does not work at all i get a striaight line,instaed of a curve and the doted lines are supposed to be "square" on the axis'.

Ok i have fixed the Activate(2) problem. I have a plot of 3 points.

it should give me a rectangle with the axis instead i have this:

aaa/--------------
aa/
a /
/

With this code:

Ahhhhhhhhhhh X[0] determines the jumps and x[1] the start, if i want a graph with my custom points do i need to use XY macro?

Is there a way to to point out a specific point ,like put a dot on the curve and have (doted) lines that point to it's respective XY coordinates?

P.S i know you have the TextPointLabel macro!

I'm not sure I understand your question. If your points are not even spaced in X, use DataFormat = DATA_XYXY.

"Is there a way to to point out a specific point ,like put a dot on the curve and have (doted) lines that point to it's respective XY coordinates? "

Other than point labels, no - at least not easily. You can always duplicate the important points, placing them in a different curve with a different symbol/color/size.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! way!! Thx , wow i feel dumb....

By the way, when does the 64 bit version come out Wink

If you're talking about dplotlib.dll... I'm working on it, and I do see the importance of this. For dplot.exe I don't, so much. I don't see much value in plotting more points than the 32-bit version will handle.

Hi,
I add my question to this post because it looks quite similar.
I would like to add one dot on a specific point in a curve - just one.
The problem is that I always keep getting point (0,0) besides my defined point.
Do you have any suggestion on how to get rid of it?
I attach a piece of code.
Thanks!
Max

DPlot.Version = DPLOT_DDE_VERSION;
DPlot.DataFormat = DATA_XYXY;
DPlot.MaxCurves = 2;
DPlot.MaxPoints = NP;
DPlot.NumCurves = 2;
DPlot.Scale = SCALE_LINEARX_LINEARY;
DPlot.LegendX = 0.01f;
DPlot.LegendY = 0.02f;
DPlot.NP[0] = NP;
DPlot.NP[1] = 1;
DPlot.LineType[0] = LINESTYLE_SOLID;
DPlot.LineType[1] = LINESTYLE_NONE;
DPlot.SymbolType[0] = SYMBOLSTYLE_NONE;
DPlot.SymbolType[1] = SYMBOLSTYLE_ASTERISK;

//First curve
DocNum = dPlot_Plot8(&DPlot,x,y,"[DocMaximize()]""[ClearEditFlag()]");
DPlot_Command(DocNum, total_string);
DPlot_Command(DocNum,"[ManualScale(0,,27,,)][ClearEditFlag()]");

//just one point
x1[0]=5.0;
y1[0]=8;
ret = DPlot_AddData8(DocNum, DATA_XYXY, 1, 2, x1, y1);

Your initial call to dPlot_Plot8 has DPlot.NumCurves=2, but you don't have the 2nd "curve" to add yet. dPlot_Plot8 will add a curve with whatever values happen to be stored in your x and y arrays after the end of your first curve - in this case 0,0.

Set DPlot.NumCurves=1 and I think you'll get the expected results.

Thank you for your answer, you've made my thoughts clearer.
At last DPlot_AddData wasn't the smartest way for my needs and I switched to add the dot on the first curve by adding it to the first vector plotted by dPlot_Plot8.
