Charts/2_Penguins/Penguins

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

%C%%H2%Penguin Graphics

This file gives an exercise in creating 
Penguin Graphics.  It is best done in a 
wide screen mode.  Try selecting mode 16 
from the mode entry on the palette icon at 
the bottom-right of the screen.

1. Mark the slots from A1 to B4 by dragging 
with the mouse.

2. Bring up the PipeDream menu and, from 
the Chart sub-menu, select new chart.  This 
will give you a 3D bar chart.

You may find that the chart window overlaps 
with this window.  If so, move it as far to 
the right of the screen as you can.  You 
can also try making the chart window a 
little narrower.

3. With the pointer in the Chart window, 
bring up the Chart window menu, and select 
the Bar Gallery from the Gallery sub-menu.

%H2%Stretched penguins

4. In the Bar Gallery switch off 3D by 
clicking on the asterisk. Then click on the 
icon showing the three penguins of 
different sizes.  This will select the 
"stretched" penguin chart.  Then click on 
the OK button to clear the Bar Gallery.

5. Try changing the numbers in the slots 
above to see the penguins change size 
automatically.  For example try changing 
the Daddy size to 5.

%H2%Stacked penguins

6. Bring the Bar Gallery back onto the 
screen and click on the icon showing 
"stacked penguins" and then click on OK.  



%H2%Other pictures in penguin charts

7. Find the directory Pictures.flags and 
bring up a directory viewer of it.

8. Click on one of the penguins in the 
chart with the left button.  This will 
select Series 1 which is all three penguin 
bars.  Drag the file UnionJack from the 
directory viewer into the chart window.  
The penguin bars will change to stacked 
union jacks.

9. Click on one of the union jacks with 
the right button of the mouse.  this will 
select just that data point.  Drag another 
flag file into the chart.  The data point 
will be redrawn with the new flag.

10. Try changing the numbers at the top of 
this window.  Try also changing the labels.  
For example, you might change "Daddy" to 
"Britain", "Mummy" to "USA" and "Baby" to 
"Japan".  Fill the bars with the 
appropriate flags.
