converting hours minutes to be used in a graph
Sep 29th, 2008, 3:42am  
Hi, im working on a graph where i have the days of a month at the x axis and the hours from 0:00 to 23:59 at the y axis...

i got a list where different events are stored with their time and date and now i want to add an ellipse at this point to the graph... the days are no problem as i can read what date it is and just move the ellipse x days to the right along the x axis... but how can i do the same with the hours and minutes.... the time is red in hours and minutes. for example. 10:10 or 22:39 and so on... but i cant just take
1010 and 2239 cause if i do so it jumps from 1059 to 1100 cause there are not more then 60 minutes an hours. So as long nobody is going to change this, i guess i have to find a workarround... how can i convert the time to map it to the y graph?

Sorry for my bad english, and thanks for your help...

You can simply work in minutes... e.g. 10:59 is (10*60)+59 == 659, and 11:00 is (11*60)+0=660
