Curves, setting the dot free

[jsmcortina]

I know this has been discussed before, but I can't find how to implement it.
On some curves it would be useful to set the dot free, so it follows the X and Y axis instead of being stuck to a curve. Is this possible?

Code: Select all

        curve = oil_curve, "Min/Max Oil Pressure vs. RPM"
            columnLabel = "RPM", "Min", "Max"
            xAxis       = 0, {rpmhigh}, 6
            yAxis       = 0, 300, 6
            xBins       = oil_rpm, rpm
            yBins       = oil_press_min
            yBins       = oil_press_max
          lineLabel   = "Min. pressure"
          lineLabel   = "Max. pressure"

Just add the coma and the output channel on the Y axis as you do with the x axis and the dot will follow both output channel variables rather then the X axis and the curve. With a little testing it would seem that when the Y axis has an output channel set it will allow the dot to be free above the highest value on the curve at the current X axis location but can not go below the curve so its not completely free. I will see if there is a way to make it completely free from the curve lines.

You edited your post! I just tested and reached the same conclusion... the attached confirm what you are saying.

Any new thoughts on this? I'm trying to implement a customer request on the trans control shift curves and the dot really needs to be set free for this to work.

The dot will free float if there is an OutputChannel name assigned to the yBins like done with the xBins

Code: Select all

        curve = oil_curve, "Min/Max Oil Pressure vs. RPM"
            columnLabel = "RPM", "Min", "Max"
            xAxis       = 0, {rpmhigh}, 6
            yAxis       = 0, 300, 6
            xBins       = oil_rpm, rpm
            yBins       = oil_press_min, [b]someOutputChannel[/b]
            yBins       = oil_press_max
          lineLabel   = "Min. pressure"
          lineLabel   = "Max. pressure"

That should be all it takes to set it free.

Almost there, but it won't go below the lower curve.

Code: Select all

   curve = shiftt12, "Shift Curve 1->2"
         topicHelp = "file://$getProjectsDirPath()/docs/Trans_Control-1.1.pdf#shiftcurves"
      columnLabel = "%load", "Up", "Down"
      xAxis       = 0, 100, 6
      yAxis       =  0, { prefSpeedUnits == 0 ? 100 : 160 }, 6
      xBins       = shift12load, load
      yBins       = shiftup12, vss1
      yBins       = shiftdown12, vss1

Dot stuck on lower curve

Interesting.. With a curve that has only 1 yBins defined, it is full floating, with multiple lines it gets boxed in..

I'll fix that.

It seems that at least with v3.0.60.33 the dot has now been set free.
