Hi all,
Apologies if this message is convoluted.
If I am dynamically generating graphs, is it better to use the
polyline element or the path element to plot the graphs? I am getting
pairs of x and y coordinates and need to plot them. The graphs could
be line graphs, pie charts or bar graphs.
I realize that a polyline is a shortcut for multiple path operations.
However, I want to capture the motion of the pen.
The big difference is that a polyline can only draw connected line
segments. Depending on your data, this can handle both line graphs and
bar graphs. If you need disconnected lines, you will need multiple
polyline elements.
A path, on the other hand, is much more general. A path can do
everything a polyline can do, plus several kinds of curve, plus
discontinuities in lines, and more.
If you have a simple set of points to generate a line graph, the
polyline is probably fine. If you are going to do much more, you should
invest the time to learn the path element.
