Dynamic Object Position -in Layout Mode

[Leb i Sol]

Hello Gang!

I was just wondering if this is possible and if any of u have have some experience:

Based on a condition or a field value to place an object (button or image) in the layout - on the specific position?!

eg. using a coordinate system (x,y)

=========x

.........X pleace an image on loaction (10,5)

It does not have to be an image....perhaps an FM design object such as a line or a square shape....

any thought?ideas?

Thank you all!

Take a look at some of the non-plug-in graph solutions. They use various tricks to allow them to display stacks of objects of different colors based on the values of fields. There are numerous of these.

Sorry, no links for you. I haven't gotten to the charts part of my project, so I haven't really looked into it deeply. Early on, I checked a few out to verify it would be possible later; but then I stopped. However, as I go through various of the tips and samples and such FM sites, I typically find yet another chart example with some interesting ideas. Even russCalcs from Oz has some basic chart stuff. Maybe some names will help: ChartMaker Pro and CCVbar Light. I think I've seen some on fmfiles.com, Osborne's site, maybe Cologon's site, and some other places I'm not thinking of right now. (I suppose I should take better notes.)
