Hi! I am a newbie in Smalltalk and specially en Eyesee. I'm having trouble with the scale of the Y axis in a vertical bar diagram.
If I define a dictionary as d := {'a'->(1/3) . 'b'->(3/2) . 'c'->(7/4)}.
I can create a nice diagram with this
chart := ESDiagramRenderer new. chart verticalBarDiagram y: [:eachAssociation | eachAssociation value]; identifier: [:eachAssociation | eachAssociation key]; regularAxis; models: d . chart open
whose Y axis is very well populated with labels indicating different steps in the scale.
But if I redefine d as
d := {'a'->(1/3) . 'b'->(7/5) . 'c'->(17/4)}.
(which is closer to the data I am working on) most of the labels in the Y axis are gone.
How can I instruct Eyesee to show a more informative scale?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers

Hi Lautaro,
This is likely a bug that was introduced when they fixed the regularAxis to not show too many values - it apparently now can show too few. If this isn't fixed shortly by someone else on the list, I'll get to it in the next day.
As an alternative, try using #valueAxis; it will show reasonable values for the axis. I find that option very interesting most of the time:
chart := ESDiagramRenderer new. chart verticalBarDiagram y: [:eachAssociation | eachAssociation value]; identifier: [:eachAssociation | eachAssociation key]; valueAxis; models: d . chart open

If you load the latest EyeSee (at least the axis package), it will now have at least 5 ticks on the Y scale (for #regularAxis). It may have more - but it won't have just the max/min anymore.
