Question re ChartsEngine

[Alex Tweedly]

Thanks Björnke. So far, only one copy - gmail is too clever for its own 
good :-)

It is indeed surprising that maxY doesn't work for stacked bar charts - 
it's a very useful feature, and I'd have thought it was even more 
important for stacked than for simple bar charts.  Oh well, I guess it's 
time to start writing code :-)

-- Alex.

P.S. forums. I know why I can't post - it's because I can't remember how 
to login. I know I had a different username or password for the forums 
vs the runrev store account (vs the on-rev account). Can never remember 
what they are, and the entry in InfoWallet has become too confusing 
(three usernames, two email addresses, 5 passwords all for different 
parts of runrev). Since I only look at the forums about once a year 
(just to see if the user interface has improved from abysmal to even 
barely usable :-), I decided I would just stick with the uselist. When 
(if) runrev enables the email gateway, then I''ll be a forum user, and 
not before.

P.S> megaBundle - great deal, unless you've already got 80-90% of it 
from previous Kickstarter and/or megabundles. :-)

Sometimes that can be confusing, so I suggest you browse trough the custom properties in the property inspector of the IDE and select the propertySet "charts" there. Then you can pick properties to delete one by one, or just delete the propertySet "charts" completely to start fresh. An approach that I use often would be to reset the properties and start completely over every time via script, it works like this:
