On MSChart scatter plot, I want solid lines instead of dashed

[Elroy]

I don't know how to create a xy scatter plot from x,y numbers with a PictureBox control.

Just for grins.

Start a new Form1 project. Throw a PictureBox on it, and rename it to "pic".

Add this code and run it:

Option Explicit

Dim Data(1 To 5, 1 To 2) As Single

Private Sub Form_Load()
    '
    ' Just create some sample data.
    Data(1, 1) = 3.4: Data(1, 2) = 8.2
    Data(2, 1) = 5.1: Data(2, 2) = 7.1
    Data(3, 1) = 8.9: Data(3, 2) = 1.2
    Data(4, 1) = 7.6: Data(4, 2) = 4.7
    Data(5, 1) = 3.8: Data(5, 2) = 5.5
    '
    ' Setup our "pic" PictureBox, with some appropriate scaling for this data.
    pic.BackColor = vbWhite
    pic.AutoRedraw = True
    pic.ScaleWidth = 10
    pic.ScaleLeft = 0
    pic.ScaleHeight = -10   ' We specify negative to flip the vertical axis to be more in line with graphing.
    pic.ScaleTop = 10
    '
    ' Now plot it as a scatter plot.
    pic.FillStyle = vbFSSolid       ' Make sure we fill our circles.
    pic.FillColor = vbBlack         ' Fill with black color.
    Dim i As Long
    For i = LBound(Data, 1) To UBound(Data, 1)
        pic.Circle (Data(i, 1), Data(i, 2)), 0.2, vbBlack   ' Draw black dot.
    Next
    '
    ' Now, do we want to connect these with a line?  Ok.
    pic.DrawStyle = vbSolid         ' Specify that solid lines are to be used.
    pic.DrawWidth = 3               ' Draw a nice thickness line.
    For i = LBound(Data, 1) + 1 To UBound(Data, 1)
        pic.Line (Data(i - 1, 1), Data(i - 1, 2))-(Data(i, 1), Data(i, 2)), vbRed   ' Draw red lines between dots.
    Next
End Sub
