An easy technique for creating a floating column chart in Excel | TechRepublic
Standard charts don’t always represent data in its best light. Floating column charts are a good example. In this type of chart, a single column seemingly floats between a minimum and maximum value instead of being anchored to the axis. I’ve seen some convoluted solutions for creating such a chart, but it doesn’t require a complex solution.
Fortunately, there’s a quick method: create a stacked column chart where one of the values is literal and one is the difference between the high and low values. The chart in Figure A illustrates this idea perfectly.
2. Download Processing. Use point() and line()
Download Processing from www.processing.org and do some exercises with point() and line(). We are introduced to using coordinates to access pixels on the screen. A coordinate has a X and a Y value. The X value is the distance from the left border of the display. The Y value is the distance from the top border of the display. Using an X,Y pair you can locate any pixel on the screen. The top left pixel is located at 0,0. The pixel at 10,30 is found at 10 pixels from the left border and 30 pixels from the top border.
