Talk:PPC Graph Damage

ok, got a few more data points in (assuming it falls off linearly, might be incorrect). now to figure out how to fix the sorting.--Peckham33 talk Help is always given to those who ask for it 17:21, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * The problem is that this more of a chart rather than a graph. It won't spread the points out corrects, but rather it just adds one point for each column or row. It doesn't let you just plot X and Y on a graph for example. I have my doubts that this can easily be adapted for use using existing information on each page. --Seth (talk) 17:57, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * where is the info to back this thing up? I am mainly looking for what controls what is put where. Since it moves things it has to have code to do so and that code might give what we need to fix the prob.--Peckham33 talk Help is always given to those who ask for it 04:33, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
 * You can look at the line example on this Jqplotchart format help page. I can make the graph look right, but there's no easy way to tell the page to spread to plot a straight line from 10 to 0 over a given distance. I made the PPC Graph Damage page look correct though by telling it to sort by the Has Label property. A better use of this graph though is to map out the acceleration of each 'Mech which I believe can be done quickly using existing information on the Mech Model template on each 'Mech's page. Another idea I had was to visually represent each 'Mech's torso and arm firing arcs. --Seth (talk) 05:25, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
 * the arcs idea sounds cool. would likely want to make the regions square in the "graph" to provide best visuals. with multiple on one, we could throw in where you can see with the cockpit on the same graph as the swing arc, and maby an arc for where arms can point alongside where the torso can and vise versa. for some mechs, that is a big deal.--Peckham33 talk Help is always given to those who ask for it 06:29, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
 * This is a working example of the arcs display I was talking about - Torso Firing Arc Graph. It pulls the data for the torso and arm ranges that are already on each of the 'Mechs pages and displays an over head view of the firing ranges of the 'Mechs.--Seth (talk) 06:35, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
