I am trying to create a bar graph with more than one set of data on it. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on the best way of doing this?

Thanks

Do you mean a three dimensional graph or a graph with multiple series? (Like sales for 2000 graphed next to sales for 2001?)

Assuming you are doing this in Jade (which is a fair assumption since this is a Jade newsgroup) I can give some pointers. It's easy to draw graphs in Jade by creating a Picture control on a form and using basic drawing methods on it, like:

drawLine
drawRectangle
drawTextAt
drawFillStyle

etc. (off the top of my head, the names may be slightly different to these).

Your best source of information on thie is the Jade help. Look under Jade References -> Window Classes -> Graphics properties and methods.

I have developed a flexible graphing solution in Jade that using this way. You can also print out these graphs embedded in you existing Jade reports.

Allistar.

If you arent adverse to using activeX extensions, I found a particularly good one - Its called Flipper Graph and its made by ProWorks. It would simplify your job but it costs a fair bit...
