I have a stringline chart I have made out of the XY scatter plot chart for trains in our area. The file is a program that allows users to input a train number (e.g. 520), start time (8:20 - using military time) and a starting location and an ending location. This if for my boss so he can experiment with various train schedule and see the trains in a stringline diagram (time of day vs. mileposts for each train). I currently have all the trains plotted against the mileposts and, correctly, some trains start and end midway where as others complete the entire run. My problem is I am getting some stringlines that extend all the way back to the mileposts on the XY intersection so the graph mostly looks good except for these long and sometimes dense (with all the plots) lines heading across the chart. They are tied to a 0:00 point which I swear is not part of the data being plotted.
I would be happy to send the file to anyone curious enough to look into this. My two help books have nothing on this so I am your hands gracious reader.
Thanks-
