If there is any more fluffing around with this plotting business It would be easier to do it all in fbgfx. That would be perfect. But a flexible plotting tool that also creates good looking plots is a lot of work I think. Some simple plotting routines can be done quickly as I have done in this proj...

...and the whole thing doesn't match DIN 461 I did not know that the Germans even standardized data plots :-) We should stop polluting the thread from badidea No problem for me. Always good to know alternatives. But I don't want to spend to much time fiddling with graph layout details, so that is w...

You are allowed a little chuckle badidea, my windows 10 has finally packed in and I am now using Linux (Red hat) Was it you who said "I am too old to linux"? I got hold of gnuplot from the repository (Yum), but I don't have cairo or png or z. I have never used Red hat, but I would expect ...

Same behavior here as on macOS using shell. With exec and run, I never get a plot window.

Nice, I got all examples working on linux as well, by changing terminal windows to x11 or qt (looking better). However, - terminal x11 does not support the color command it seems. - terminal qt does not support the color and background command it seems. The live plot by Carlos Herrera works as well,...

thank you badidea :-) I also like Carlos Herrera's suggestion <I apologize, badidea for spamming your thread, I deleted the offending part> I am not quickly offended, curious now what it was. This is also the first time for me trying gnuplot. I will study your parallel topic ( using gnuplot in Wind...

I was looking for a way to make nice data plots in FreeBASIC. I decided to try via calling gnuplot (http://www.gnuplot.info/). Although still work in process, it is working on my linux laptop, currently only via 64-bit FBC (some issue with zlib and libpng on 32-bit). The program steps: 1. Write some...

Just curious. Why is this not allowed? type font_type dim as string face dim as integer size end type dim as font_type f = type("arial", 18) print f.face, f.size Results in: testString.bas(6) error 98: No matching overloaded function, FONT_TYPE.constructor() in 'dim as font_type f = type(&...

I Did some tests on my linux laptop with 8 GB memory. With the code below and freebasic 64-bit, I can write 9 GB (> 8 GB) at once. With freebasic 32-bit: 1 GB: OK 2 GB: Fail, Put returns error 3 GB: Fail, Put returns error 4 GB: 0 byte file, no error 5 GB: 1 GB file, no error 6 GB: Fail, Put returns...

I don't understand, I see each question posted on the forum here as a challenge. Some don't interest me, some are not for my OS, some are too hard for me, some are answered before me, but there remain enough to look into. In addition, I set my own challenges now and then.

If the systems have a graphical screen, a gui toolkit like fltk may be easier. Making all these text based interfaces is a lot of work.

An option for question 2. Keys "Page up", "page down", "home", "end" left as an exercise for the reader. #include "string.bi" enum H_ALIGN H_ALIGN_LEFT H_ALIGN_RIGHT end enum sub printAt(x as integer, y as integer, text as wstring, align as H_ALIGN) ...

And getting the £ sign to show properly also.

Thanks, works with the (3-wide) € sign as well, but it seems that you guys at the other side of the North Sea don't have to worry about that anytime soon.

I might have discovered a bug in Freebasic. OK: priceStr = format(10 ^ (rnd * 5), "$0.00") Not OK: priceStr = format(10 ^ (rnd * 5), "£0.00") Edit: Not a bug, but unwanted behaviour. Solved by conversion to wstring: #include "string.bi" e...

1) like so? #include "string.bi" enum H_ALIGN H_ALIGN_LEFT H_ALIGN_RIGHT end enum sub printAt(x as integer, y as integer, text as string, align as H_ALIGN) if align = H_ALIGN_RIGHT then x -= len(text) locate y, x print text; end sub dim as integer xOffset = 30, yOffset = 5 dim as integer x...
