I am dealing with a random walk of arbitrary length. I am setting
the points of a graphic to display the walk, then setting the rect
of the graphic to the rect of another, fixed size graphic, that serves
as a viewing box. My question is this. As the points are assigned to
the walk graphic, the rect of the graphic is adjusted to hold it. I think
I saw that as it grows, it is not necessarily growing to just include the
"largest" spike, but rather by some even larger amount. Assuming I'm not
mis-observing, is there a scaling or growth algorithm that decides by what
amount the rect is increased? Should I not rely upon this adjustment, but
rather adjust it in handler?
I really appreciate the timely and direct answers this list has provided!
