Draw Lines from cell values?
 
Howdy,

Based on this chart:
http://code7700.com/images/crfi_crosswind_limits.png

Is this possible?
When a pilot enters a number of degrees and a wind speed, draw an line from 0,0 out the degree line, then down once you intersect the wind speed arc.

Or would VB have to draw the chart first?

Thanks in advance!

I don't quite follow your objective but a chart like the one in your image
can be made without VBA, just formula values, briefly

For each of the arcs add scatter lines without markers with x/y values like
this
x = Radius1*COS(RADIANS(n))
y = Radius1*SIN(RADIANS(n))

where values n are in incrments from 0 to 90, steps of 5 should be enough to
show smooth arcs. So you'd have pairs of x/y columns adjacent and linked to
the same column of n values
And where each radius is in equal steps to separate the arcs like a grid od
circles, or indeed at whatever radius you want.

add line series for the straight lines that radiate from x/y=0/0, the mid
point of the quarter circle, either for indicater lines (like a sort of
grid) or your particular line. Again with formulas the angle of the line can
change when a single vlaue is changed in some cell

You will probably need to resize the plot-area to make the X & Y axes
equivalent, ie same visual scale, so 0-100 on each axis look like a square.
