    Question I cant figure out this algorithm

    I have a funtion drawing() like this:

    Code:
    private sub drawing()
    max = calculate_max() 'determine max hight  
    min=calculate_min()     'min height
    
     Me.ScaleHeight = (2.2 * (max - min))
    
    me.refresh
    vertical_coordinates <-----problem
    draw things here.....
    end sub
    Eash time user puts a new terrain point (distance and height) in a Flexgrid and press ENTER this function is executed to resize and redraw.

    Vertical Coordinates are the Y coordinates of the draw, that is
    enclosed in a square i draw that is almost half the size of the screen. Look:

    IMAGE LINK

    Well, I cant show good coordinates where it says "here!"
    I mean: there coord shoud be like 5 - 10 - 15 etc..
    or 10-20-30. .etc
    but with some numbers im getting somethig like:
    21- 42- 63 (1 each 20).
    OR: 547- 637- etc..
    I need this coordinates to be rounded numbers like:
    10, 15, 20... or 100, 200, 300.....or 540, 560, 580, etc

    im trying something like:

    Code:
    dim hight as double
    dim number as long
    
    hight = max-min
    
    do while max/10 <>int(max/10)  'is max divisible per 10
     max=max+1
    loop
    
    hight=max-min 'recalculate          
    number=hight/10
    
    do while min/10 <>int(min/10) 'is min divisible per 10
     min=min-1
    loop
    
    hight=max-min 'recalculate          
    number=hight/10
    
    now number has the distance between coordinates and I can
    do something like this with each label:
    
    Label1.Top = -min - number * 1 '  
    Label1.Caption = Str(min + number * 1)
    ..... 
    '(with each label)
    
    'Here I use  -min to start   just
    'in the bottom of the square, where the min is, and values are
    'negative cause thats the way to go up in my form (incresing
    'negative values
    This is not working, im getting bad coordinates, like i said before.
    Any idea about an algorithm to do this???

    Thanks!
