Is your Q that we write such function for you, without you trying first? This is a non-sentence, simple programming always gives the most cusstomisation, libraries confine such. "Need" seems strange, "want" would be more apt, but then your ideas about customisation are wrong. You see, libraries of any kind confines you. Just applying the function stated above. ============ A much easier way is to build your chart using serverside scripting to compute the corresponding values. To get the datavalues you will need a serverside database anyway, I presume. To be on topic here you would need to use serverside javascript. What about something like this using ASP J[ava]script serverside: =========================================================== <% 'Javascript function minutes@msd(m) { // compute the string for bartextX return ;// your task }; // compute the barXvalue, barXleft // your task %> <style type='text/css'> ..chartBackground {position:relative;width:1000px;height:500px; border:XXX;} ..bar0 {position:absolute;width:10px;height:<% = bar0value; %> px;bottom:0;left:<% = bar0left; %>;} ..bartext0 {position:absolute;width:50px;height:20px;bottom:<% = bar0value; %>px;left:<% = bar0left; %>;font-size:8pt;color:red;} ..bar1 {position:absolute;width:10px;height:<% = bar1value; %> px;bottom:0;left:<% = bar1left; %>;} ..bartext1 {position:absolute;width:50px;height:20px;bottom:<% = bar1value; %>px;left:<% = bar1left; %>;font-size:8pt;color:green;} ..bar2 {position:absolute;width:10px;height:<% = bar2value; %> px;bottom:0;left:<% = bar2left; %>;} ..bartext2 {position:absolute;width:50px;height:20px;bottom:<% = bar2value; %>px;left:<% = bar2left; %>;font-size:8pt;color:navy;} </style> <div class='chartBackground'> <div class='bar0'> <div class='bartext0'><%= bartext0; %></div> <div class='bar1'> <div class='bartext1'><%= bartext1; %></div> <div class='bar2'> <div class='bartext2'><%= bartext2; %></div> </div> ========================================= [/QUOTE]
