LiveCode Widgets: More Line Chart Madness
by Monte Goulding on November 2, 2016 No commentsContinuing on from my last blog post where I added the showLines and markerStyles property to the line chart and not being one to know when to stop I realised that what the line chart really needs now is more marker styles. I could come up with some more styles and draw them but that’s not as much fun as what I’m going to do. What I’m going to do is allow you to specify one of the 6 marker styles already implemented and also any icon name from the svg library. We can have beautiful charts with little smiley faces as markers!

LiveCode Widgets: Modifying the Line Chart
by Monte Goulding on September 15, 2016 2 commentsLast week we looked at how to use the Line Chart Widget. This week I am going to show you how to modify this widget. I have included a link to the code on GitHub at the end of this blog post.

Extending the interactive welcome BMI app with HealthKit
by Monte Goulding on June 2, 2016 2 commentsBy now many of you will have completed the new interactive tutorial for LiveCode 8. If you haven’t done that yet, you might like to go and complete it before continuing on here.
By the end of the tutorial you should have an app that looks something like the image below. If you’re like me and get excited by pancake printers it’s probably telling you something different to the image below but let’s not worry about that just now… the point is you should have an app that uses a web service to calculate BMI and charts it.
Today I’m introducing a new external for HealthKit called mergHK. With mergHK you can read and write to the HealthStore and therefore improve the integration of your health app with the array of other apps that users use to manage their health data.
