Trouble displaying a polar chart

[Dav Yaginuma]

First, thanks for this nice interface to a great tool, and thanks for
restarting your web server just now.

I've looked at the example page for Polar charts at http://ziya.liquidrail.com/tutor
now but I'm still having problems displaying a polar chart. The top of
the chart is being cut off and although the associated yml file for
this chart is being loaded, the chart_rect x and y values seem to have
no effect.

I have pasted the relevant code in here http://pastie.caboo.se/146454
just in case it gets formatted weird below.

Also here is an screenshot of the generated web page. No matter what I
change the x and y to in the yml, the chart never moves (However the x
and y values do affect the legend_rect placement, and width/height
work for chart_rect): http://akuaku.org/~dav/images/misc/polar_chart.png

In controller:

def show_bpi_chart
graph = Ziya::Charts::Polar.new( nil, "BPI Overview",
"bpi_overview_chart")
graph.add( :axis_category_text, poles.keys.map {|game_category|
game_category.name} )
graph.add( :series, "BPI Across All Cognitive Training Areas",
poles.values )
render :xml => graph.to_xml
end


In bpi_overview_chart.yml:

<%=chart :polar%>
# Change chart rectangle
<%=component :chart_rect%>
negative_color: c0b15c
positive_color: f0811c
negative_alpha: 30
X: 0
Y: 0
height: 200
width: 600
<%=component :legend_rect %>
x: 0
y: 280
width: 600
<%=component :chart_border %>
bottom_thickness: 0
left_thickness: 0


In rhtml:

<%= ziya_chart( url_for(:action => 'show_bpi_chart'), :align =>
'center', :height => 300, :width => 600 ) %>


In the rails log:
ZiYa [loading] -- public/charts/themes/default/base_chart.yml
ZiYa [loading] -- public/charts/themes/default/polar_chart.yml
ZiYa [loading] -- public/charts/themes/default/bpi_overview_chart.yml

Hi Dav,

    Thanks for the kind words !

    Hum... your setup looks correct. The thing I've found is that in your chart yml file
    you have the x and y for the chart_rect specified as upper case X and Y which will
    cause the centering of the chart to not being affected.

Ha!

That was it. This is one of the reasons I like pair programming.
Unfortunately was running solo on Friday :)

Thanks!
