I’m been using AppSheet for a while but am still pretty much of a novice in regard to charts so I need some help.
I’m interested in doing something like this:
I know I can do it horizontally but, because people normally hold their phones vertically and also because it would be great if the user could scroll to take in a long image like this, I’d like to do it vertically.
I’ve looked but, as far as I can tell, vertical orientation isn’t possible in AppSheet. Am I correct about that? Could I make a horizontal chart like this that could be scrolled so that the whole thing didn’t have to fit in the narrow screen of a phone?
I’m think that I’d like to display charts like this in a dashboard view, which seems to be quite flexible in regard to scrolling. However, if the charts can only be horizontal or can only be of certain dimensions, that may not help much.
Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.
On my Android phone the bars look nice and clean, more-or-less like this
but on my iOS device the tips are jagged, as they appear to me on this web page and in the following image:
To get more definition in the lengths of the bars I’m using full blocks with end pieces that are 1/8 to 7/8 of a block in length:
That seems to be the problem. Oh well, I may go with this anyway. My first I idea was to make approximate illustrations with simple ascii characters. This is probably better than that. Or, I might just give up on the detail that the smaller blocks bring.
