Time Periods Chart Question
A guy from 1997 has the exact same question I do now... hopefully
someone can answer it (because he had no responses back then!)... I am gonna repost his question: I am trying to plot a chart containing data similar to that shown below, without much success: Sprinkler OnTime OffTime Front 0815 0845 Front 1445 1600 Front 1700 1730 Back 0900 0930 Back 1800 1830 Left 1100 1115 Right 1130 1215 Right 1900 1930 Right 2000 2030 I'd like to see a graph with four (discontinuous) horizontal lines, each line corresponding to one of the sprinklers. The X axis is plotted from 0000 to 2400, and each line is visible when the sprinkler is on. |

Time Periods Chart Question
Hi,
See here for information on gantt charts. http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/P...cle.asp?ID=343 The major task will be laying out the data correctly as the chart will not summarize your data, instead you need to do that.

Time Periods Chart Question
Ok, so I kind of have it... follow-up question:
Say that Task one has three seperate time periods... Is there a simple way to get all those on the same horizontal line instead of beneath each other as seperate instances? Or is this a matter of organizing the data?

This is how it needs to look: Sprklr On1 Off1 On2 Off2 On3 Off3 Front 08:15 00:30 06:00 01:15 01:00 00:30 Back 09:00 00:30 08:30 00:30 Left 11:00 00:15 Right 11:30 00:45 06:45 00:30 00:30 00:30 Each period is the *difference* between two times, so you will use the original data to subtract each time from the time just before it. -- Del Cotter NB Personal replies to this post will send email to , which goes to a spam folder-- please send your email to del3 instead. |
