Graphs not working
« on: June 14, 2013, 06:16:25 AM »
Hello everybody, i have a problem with the last (2.45.03) DB. Graphs don't work as intended, they update only when they're open. Can u fix this? It's very annoying... thank you guys!

Once a graph has been opened it should continue to plot data even after it has been closed. It must be a temporary glitch in your case if it doesn't.

So when I start a new sim I immediately open the graphs I'm interested in to get data on that.

I know, it did so in the last version. Now they don't work anymore as you say.

I'm sorry, you're right. Weird. I was sure it worked as before but now when I checked again with a new sim it doesn't.  :blink:

FYI Testlund: Open graphs are now saved as part of simulation, so you will only need to configure them once.



I was going to argue the pros and cons of not updating the graphs when they where closed. I was also going to explain a manual work around you guys can do, but then it hit me: Why can't I do this automatically? All you need to do is respond to a prompt.

Here, tell me if this works any better:

Thanks Botsareus.

Along the same line, can you make charts minimizable again?

Thank you.

I can, but I don't want the charts to be in the windows task bar. I don't think it make seance to put charts in the windows taskbar because: Lets say you have 10 open, and then you want to work on something else while DB is running, also, let say we are running like 5 copys of DB because we have the hardware to do so, now the windows taskbar becomes un-usable

When you select 'Continue updating data' it does the same thing as 'minimize', it just hides the graph in the button left corner :p

Then to get it back simply click the graph again of the graph menu.



So your options are:

1.) Add minimize but don't show in windows taskbar

2.) Leave as is

3.) Reprogram the graphs to be shown in taskbar as before.

The other reason I really hate choice three is because then I will have no way to figure out if DB should update the graph or not.  I REALLY WANT some way to tell DB to stop updating a graph if you would choose to do so, I currently linked the update code to the fact that the window is open which is the simplest way to do it.

Just figured out a way to temporary hide graphs when you go to options or attempt to exit the program.
I agree that it was very annoying but I had no good ways of fixing it until now.
