266 Computer Programming Concepts and Visual Basic 2. The following technique can be used to determine a good range of values for a Scale method when graphs with only positive values are to be drawn. (a) Let r be the x coordinate of the rightmost point that will be drawn by any Line, PSet, or Circle method. (b) Let h be the y coordinate of the highest point that will be drawn by any Line, PSet, or Circle method. (c) Let the numbers on the x axis range from about –[20% of r] to about r + [20% of r]. Let the numbers on the y axis range from about –[20% of h] to about h + [20% of h]. That is, use picOutput.Scale (-.2 * r, 1.2 * h)-(1.2 * r, -.2 * h) 3. Usually one unit on the x axis is a different length than one unit on the y axis. The statement picBox.Circle (x, y), r draws a circle whose radius is r x-axis units. 4. If one or both of the points used in the Line method fall outside the picture box, the computer only draws the portion of the line that lies in the picture box. This behavior is referred to as line clipping and is used for the Circle method also. 5. A program can execute a picOutput.Scale statement more than once. Executing a new picOutput.Scale statement has no effect on the text and graphics already drawn; however, future graphics statements will use the new coordinate system. This technique can be used to produce the same graphics figure in different sizes and/or locations within the picture box. The output from the following event procedure is shown in Figure 9-8. Private Sub cmdDraw_Click() Dim i As Integer picOutput.Cls For i = 0 To 3 picOutput.Scale (0, 2 ^ i)-(2 ^ i, 0) picOutput.Line (0, 0)-(.5, 1) picOutput.Line (.5, 1)-(.8, 0) picOutput.Line (.8, 0)-(0, .8) picOutput.Line (0, .8)-(1, .5) picOutput.Line (1, .5)-(0, 0) Next i End Sub FIGURE 9-8 Output from Comment 5 6. The programs in this section can be modified to produce colorful displays. Lines, points, and circles can be drawn in color through use of the vbColor constants. To use color, place “, vbColor” at the end of the corresponding graphics statement. For instance, the statement picBox.Line (x1, y1)-(x2, y2), vbRed draws a red line.
9.2 LINE CHARTS A line chart displays the change in a certain quantity in relation to another quantity (often time). The following steps produce a line chart. 1. Look over the data to be displayed. A typical line chart displays between 3 and 20 items of data corresponding to evenly spaced units of time: years, months, or days. The positions on the x axis will contain labels such as “Jan Feb Mar Apr . . .” or “1996 1997 1998 1999 . . .”. These labels can be placed at the locations 1, 2, 3, . . . on the x axis. 2. Choose a coordinate system based on the number of data items and the size of the quantities. A convenient scale for the x axis is from –1 to one more than the number of data items. The scale for the y axis is determined by the largest quantity to be displayed. 3. Draw the line segments. It is a good idea to draw a small circle around the end points of the line segments. 4. Draw and label tick marks on the coordinate axes. The x axis should have a tick mark for each time period. The y axis should have at least one tick mark to indicate the magnitude of the quantities displayed. 5. Title the chart, and give the source of the data. EXAMPLE 1 Table 9.1 gives enrollment data for 2-year colleges taken from the Statistical Abstract of the United States (the data for 2000 is a projection). Write a program to display the total enrollments for the given years in a line chart. TABLE 9.1 Two-Year College Enrollments (in Thousands) Year 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 Male 283 1375 2047 2233 2398 Female 170 945 2479 3007 3358 Total 453 2320 4526 5240 5756 SOLUTION: Figure 9-9 shows the graph that results from executing the following program. The data in ENROLL.TXT are taken from the first and fourth lines of Table 9.1. For example, the first line in the file is “1960”, 453. (Explanatory remarks follow the program.) ‘In (Declarations) section of (General) Dim numYears As Integer, maxEnroll As Single Private Sub cmdDraw_Click() ‘Line Chart of Total Two-Year College Enrollments numYears = 5 ReDim label(1 To numYears) As String ReDim total(1 To numYears) As Single Call ReadData(label(), total()) Call DrawAxes Call DrawData(total()) Call ShowTitle Call ShowLabels(label()) End Sub Private Sub DrawAxes() ‘Draw axes Line Charts 267
