Hi, very cool tool! I had the following issue:

when trying to recreate the Stock Price example with the four line charts, clicking on a single point on a path does not work, the point is simply not selected. So i cant scale the points according to the price as in the example.

I user chrome 71.0.3578.98 on OSX

Hi Tim,

Thanks for working with Data Illustrator. I hope I can help you figure this out or fix the potential bug in question.

First off, a little troubleshooting, are you using the direct selection tool to click on the single anchor point?
This is the direct selection tool:

Also, did you Repeat the line by company and then Partition each line by the Row Id? These two operations are needed to create a line for each company with the anchor points representing each data case for that company.


Thanks,

John

Hi John,
thanks for the quick reply.

You are right, i did not use the direct selection tool, but the normal one. Now it works like a charm!

So no bug, but maybe the icon is a bit misleading. I though this selection could be use to draw a square to select objects.
Cheers,
Tim
