Help setting up Xblite

[Travis James]

Hi

 

I used Xblite several years ago with some success but now I can't seem to get it going.

 

I'm using a modified version of the PID demo, I had this going back then but now it compiles OK but does not make an EXE file, also it deletes the .def file every time I BUILD

 

Attached is MODIFIED pid.x file  note this was going

 

 

 

The messages after build are - with CLEAN selected in the Compiler options

 Can some one help please

Hi James,

1. I saved your attachement pid.x in a directory ...\Test_bugs
\bug_pid,
2. loaded pid.x into XSed,
3. compiled it (function key F9) without any problems,
4. linked it (function key F10) again without any problems,
5. ran pid.exe with (withing XSed, function key F11) and it displayed
a correct screen.

Are you using a different make than the one downloaded from D.'
website?

Bye! Guy

Hi Guy

Thanks I'm now underway - I had to work in the /demo/pid folder and use the
name pid.x but that's ok

Another question how do I display "-0.1" rather than "-.1" ? I'm using
this

FOR aa# = 1.00 TO -1.00 STEP -0.20
IF (aa#<0.01)AND (aa#>-0.01) THEN aa# = 0.00 END IF '------------- force a
0 (zero)
#label18 = NewChild ("static",STR$(aa#) ,$$SS_RIGHT, 60, 0+ abb, 22, 15,
hWnd, $$IDC_LABEL, 0)
abb = abb+51
NEXT aa#

Regards
Travis

Hi Travis,

You can use the FORMAT$() intrinsic to control trhe look / format of
numbers.

Try this for instance:

FOR aa# = 1.0 TO -1.0 STEP -0.2

PRINT FORMAT$("*.#", aa#)

NEXT aa#

The Xblite help file gives full details of all the options

Regards,

Alan

Hi Allan

I used

FOR aa# = 1.00 TO -1.00 STEP -0.20
IF (aa#<0.01)AND (aa#>-0.01) THEN aa# = 0.00 END IF '------------- force a
0 (zero)

aaa$ = FORMAT$("+#.##", aa#)
#label18 = NewChild ("static",aaa$ ,$$SS_RIGHT, 60, 0+ abb, 22, 15, hWnd,

$$IDC_LABEL, 0)
abb = abb+51

Next aa#

Thanks
Regards
Travis

Hi James,

It's better to always use the logical and (&&) in your IF statements.
Just the same, always avoid OR (binary operator) and use rather the
logical or (||).

Seems like a detail but you might stumble into corner cases for no good
reasons.

OK

Thanks

While I have you I'm trying to modify a graphic and can't find the
information that will enable me to understand what is happening.

In the below statements

set graph properties
SendMessageA (#graph1, $$WM_SET_GRAPH_LINE_WIDTHS, -1, 2)
SendMessageA (#graph1, $$WM_SET_GRAPH_STEPSIZE, 0, 2)
SendMessageA (#graph1, $$WM_SET_GRAPH_GRID_UNITS, 0, 20) ' changed
SendMessageA (#graph1, $$WM_SET_GRAPH_LINE_COLORS, -1, 0xFFFF00)

I belive the Set_Graph_Stepsixe controls the horizontal movement for each
data point. but varying the arguments has no effect. The others do change
the graph characterists but the step one does not.

At the moment the program draws a shape (sine curve) inside a graph area but
each horizontal movement is far too large to display the curves, How can I
control this?

[David Szafranski]

Your step size must be equal to or larger than your line width. So if your line width is
2 pixels, then your step size must be equal to or larger than 2. I would try setting
the line width to 1 and then try various step sizes and see what happens.
