xmChart

[tar]

I am hoping that someone can help me use xmChart to actually create a chart. I have copied the calculation functions from one of the examples into my calculation field but filemaker won't accept it because it says that it can't find the "LineChart" function. Here is what I coppied

xmCH_DrawChart(

"OpenDrawing(600;400)

SetThousandsSep(/",/")

/* set up data */

ChartData(" & List (Mydatabase::date) &":"& List(My database::value)& ":" &")

/* set up chart */

LineChart()

Does anyone know why I am getting this error message?

What did the Editor of xm chart have to say?

"LineChart" is probably a custom function that you will need to add from the example file.

Plugins add their own functions (external functions). If Filemaker doesn't see them, then most likely the plugin is not installed or not enabled in the application's preferences.

xmChart tech support go back to me and fixed the problem. Here's what was wrong. The last &" was missing in the ChartData section I listed below and this caused the "can't find the LineChart function" error message. Thanks for the replies.

/* set up data */

ChartData(" & List (Mydatabase::date) &":"& List(My database::value)& ":" &")

/* set up chart */

LineChart()
