Graphics

Hello Everyone,

We are in the process of creating a new graphics package and I am doing my best to simplify the amount of templates we have. Instead of having a template per amount of lines we need in certain fullscreens, I am trying to keep them all into one template.
I was successful enough to create a 6 Line Comparison graphic and move into a 5 Line graphic by using the 'if empty' option in visual logic. I am trying to apply the same logic to make it a 4 Line graphic and have the lines move up. My problem right now is that it only does either or. Is it possible to make some sort of rule that says if Line 6 is empty, move to Line 5 settings, and if Line 5 is empty move to Line 4 settings?

I am attaching a few images to make myself more clear. I would really appreciate the help. I feel like I've tried a lot of different combinations but I am not a pro at visual logic.



Thank you in advance.

Hi Mildred,

Are you comfortable with scripting? This might be easier to accomplish using scripting instead of visual logic. Try putting this script on the "onOnline" and "onPreviewRender" - be sure to change the values after .PosY to where you want the text to show up

dim line1, line2, line3, line4, line5, line6 as xpTextObject

'Get all of the text fields
self.GetObjectByName("Category 1", line1)
self.GetObjectByName("Category 2", line2)
self.GetObjectByName("Category 3", line3)
self.GetObjectByName("Category 4", line4)
self.GetObjectByName("Category 5", line5)
self.GetObjectByName("Category 6", line6)


'Check to see if the last row has any text
if line6.text = ""
line1.visible = true
line2.visible = true
line3.visible = true
line4.visible = true
line5.visible = true
line6.visible = false

line1.PosY = 100.00
line2.PosY = 150.00
line3.PosY = 200.00
line4.PosY = 250.00
line5.PosY = 300.00

else if line5.text = ""
line1.visible = true
line2.visible = true
line3.visible = true
line4.visible = true
line5.visible = false
line6.visible = false

line1.PosY = 100.00
line2.PosY = 150.00
line3.PosY = 200.00
line4.PosY = 250.00

else if line4.text = ""
line1.visible = true
line2.visible = true
line3.visible = true
line4.visible = false
line5.visible = false
line6.visible = false

line1.PosY = 100.00
line2.PosY = 150.00
line3.PosY = 200.00

'If every row is full, show all rows
else
line1.visible = true
line2.visible = true
line3.visible = true
line4.visible = true
line5.visible = true
line6.visible = true

line1.PosY = 100.00
line2.PosY = 150.00
line3.PosY = 200.00
line4.PosY = 250.00
line5.PosY = 300.00
line6.PosY = 350.00
end if

Let me know if that helps-

Hey,

If you're keen to use visual logic you could use something like this.

I'm using a group for shift of the position but you can use the same logic.
