`flip_composite_order` for Composite #4

Closed CindyLinz closed 2 years ago

CindyLinz commented 2 years ago

Hello~

I need this function on Composite, to layer the first component above the second one. I've checked it functioning well. But I don't know how to let the document modification show up in the Document.pdf...

lichtkind commented 2 years ago

Thank you for the request. Please do not worry abut the pdf it will be obsolete soon anyway. I t seems to me you want to fine tune the rendering order. why not feed the data in the order you want to have rendered? I also ask in case we come up maybe with a more general solution not only serving your case. Blessings

The data order determined the position of the y-axis. And Composite only plots the horizontal grid lines (y_grid_lines) for the first component. I need the y-axis of the above component positioned to the left with the grid lines. If I feed the data in different order, the y-axis of the above component will be on the right and no grid lines for it anymore.

FYI, I use the alternative version to plot the graph -- Covid-19 daily confirmed cases and 7-day average growth rate in Taiwan Covid-19 cases and R in Taiwan

Allright, you want the drawing of the coordinate system irrespectively of the data set order and you want to be able to set what goes on left or right y axis. I think now i got it. That is reasonable, but not sure how i do it. maybe it will only show up in the complete rewrite i currently plan. there is so much to clean up and what you want is not easy simple because there is so much inflexible code. I have to approach this whole problem with a lower hanging fruit: drawing the legend. Hope you can still hold out as long.

Sure. I can temporarily use my local modified version. lol

good, congrats on Return::Deep, I'm one of the weirdo who actually like to use something like that. And to be transparent my main goal is to have a chart module with first class smooth optics. What you want would be just a side effect of doing it properly.

allright closing this now. if your interested look into progress at /dev/function were i test out things. Next release will even support chinese characters (UTF), but i think when all is hopefully done you will be more than happy with result.
