x and y order while drawing line #10

Usually the auto function WebPlotDigitizer seems to list the cordinates from left to right - not in order user wants to (let me know if I am correct). It works fine with manual mode but is tidious to pick alot of points. I am trying to recreate the candle line based on the discussion in the SO.

As point in x axis (pixels) are ordered. If I connect the lines it doesnot make any sense - as it doesnot connect line in order the candle should be drawn.

Hello,

Thanks for bringing this up. I am aware of this problem and it is something I do intend to address in the future. However, development work has been very slow in the last few months and the amount of time I will be able to donate to this project is a bit unpredictable. I can provide a status update here when I get to addressing this issue.

Thanks, Ankit

The CSV output now has a nearest neighbor sort option. That should connect the points like you expected for this case.
