Very quick Question_Different Length Lists!

Hello everyone,,

i am sure there is a quick answer to my question. In short, I have a grid made from 25 points, and i want to use the series component to number only the first 10 points. However, because the grid is 25 points, it numbers the first 10 correctly, from 0.0 to 9.0, but then it goes on to number the remaining grid points with 9.0

I used a list item to fix the problem, but i feel thats not really helping me understand why the problem is happening. i want to understand what im doing wrong and what im not understanding.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I attached two screen shots to further clarify.

When you have two lists with different lengths, the last item of the shortest list will be used with the rest of the items of the longest list.

What you need to do is trim the longer list so it matches the shortest list. Since the 0.9.* release theres a component called "Short list" to do just this.

hi vicente,

thanx for the clarification. ill check out the latest release. but, when i right click on the text tag component and click "shortest list" shouldnt that technically solve the problem? when i do that however it only numbers the first point :/
