A8 C Library expansion
One of the things I wanted to do for quite a while was to create a chart gadget for my TUI library. With Fuji Do complete and I'm using it regularly, I wanted to get a few stats out of it. While I can run the SQL with CubeDot or any SQLite browser, I want a way to see it on the Atari in a graphical form.
I envisioned a split screen view with GR0 up top and GR7 below with the graph drawing. I spent all this week trying to figure it out. I got the display list working, but I cant get CC65's TGI functions to write to the GR7 screen. I've futzed around with the linker config and memory locations until...
I decided until I can figure that out, that I would build a the TUI chart I always wanted but didnt have a reason to create. Now I do, and I've gotten it all working this weekend except for drawing the actual value bars. You'll be able to pass it the number of columns, the column width, the scale, a Y axis label, and a structure containing the X axis labels and values. Here is the current progress with 2 columns that will be 14 characters wide (ignore the number line it is just for counting screen positions which took me all day to get correct in code - ugh):
Ooooh! I think its done. Considering one more report, but will start the documentation and update the Fuji Do package for distribution in the next couple of weeks.
Heres a priority breakdown. You can select from 9 different periods.
