I had to change line 80 from:

Dim mx,my,button As Integer

to:

Dim As Integer mx, my, button

to get the program to compile on 0.17b

I had already tried that and it did'nt work-----BUT now it does!

Turns out I was not putting a space between the "<$file>" and the "-s" so the compiler was looking for a file "something.bas-s" which of course did not exist.

Anyway, thanks. A day is never wasted when you learn something!

How do I do this using FBIde?

Can someone point me to the latest help file download location please.

Thanks

Sorry, the 26a should be 26

Somehow I hit the "a" key after running (with F5) but before saving.
The 26 puts the text on line 26, the y/15 moves it up and down.

I am using version 0.17 and it runs for me---but is very much beginners standard and as I said, not elegant.

I just tried your program Joshy---worked very well. For those who are interested, here is a copy of my rather more primative attempt--not as elegant but it does work. Cheers 'option explicit DIM disppos (320,2) as INTEGER DIM a As Integer DIM b As String DIM c As String DIM d As INTEGER DIM ...

Thanks, I will try this out tonight. I am actually making a datalogger. It took me a while to get the RS232 interface working, but now that is Ok and I can upload data (from an A/D converter) and plot it on my screen so the next job is to make it look better.

Cheers.

I would like to plot a value that slowly changes with time. When the time reaches the right hand side of the window, then the graph would start "sliding" to the left, keeping the newest data on the right hand side of the graph--the effect would be like an ECG plot that you see in hospital. I am thin...
