Graphics

Hello,

I am looking for the best way to animate poll results using either pie charts or coloumns.

The height/scale of the coloumn is decided either by manual text input, or from datalinq.

What would be the best way of creating, lets say a 15 frame animation of the coloumns scale going from 0 to "result input".

Using visual basic the coloumns will always be corresponding to the text input.

Not very savvy on scripting, so wondering if there is a smart way to get around it :)

I would use visual logic to connect a hidden text object to the height of the bars and then use an animation controller that modifies the Y Scale from 0 to 1.0.

Simple examples of visual logic being used for something like this:

Clocks and Charts

Thanks guys,

your examples, Garner, is just what I have done to set up the coloumns. But what I am missing is to animate the graph when it is put on air. Like your compare graph is set to 90/10. I would like the bar to animate from 0/100 up to 90/10. Is it possible to do this with VL combined with animation controller, or does this exceed the VL scope?

When put on air, the VL will always make the graph appear in sync with the input numbers.

If you see what I'm trying to say :)

Your Best bet is to use object groups to achieve this.

You are correct that visual logic will always set the scale of your object not allowing you to animate it, however, if you take that object and place it within a group object you can animate the parent node while visual logic affects the child node.

Of course, Andrew! Thanks a lot!
