Is it possible to have a bargraph - vertical or horizontal drawn on an LCd display in such a way that you can have a variable controlling the height or length that is filled in on the graph?

Similar to those shown on THIS Video on Youtube

I searched both manuals and couldn't find anything, and there is only a vague reference to it online in a post abut a Maximite which used the code [code]DrawHBar(x,y), val, colour, [BFS], val ranges from 0 to 100
DrawVBar(160,90),y/2.7,yellow,BFS
DrawHBar(210,160),x/4.8,green,BFS ' bargraph with box, fill, scale[/code]

However on searching the manual I cannot find a mention of the "DrawVBar" or DrawHBar" commands

Surely those two commands are sub routines within the main program that should show it was done.

They don't seem to be
The program/post I saw is Here
I wonder if it's part of the code for Maximite that didn't go into the Micromite?

Hey Lew...

Both rectangular and radial bar graphs can be done on the MM... Segments are just small drawn rectangles... Radial bar graphs are drawn with triangles.. Peter had some code that can get you started...

I'd take a stab at saying it's just a matter of drawing a box.

Pass the Percentage of scale to the Sub & draw it to the desired scale.

Bit like this.

[Code]
CLS
For N=1 To 100
H=MM.VRes*N/100
Y=MM.VRes-H1
Box 0,Y,40,H,,,RGB(red)
Pause 100
Next N
[/code]

Cheers.
