I wondered whether there is any possibility of connecting two or more previously defined coordinates so Inquisit can build an individual performance graph for each participant, provided the respective coordinates - possibly by rotating a shape element such as a flat rectangle (= line)? Thus far I have not found any syntax in the shape element help entry that seems of use for this purpose, but maybe someone of you might have an idea? Otherwise, the only alternative I see for building the performance graph is rotating the line segments beforehand, tediously creating a line segment for each possible scenario (e.g. increase from block 1 to block 2 of 2.0 pts) and save them as individual images which I then insert in Inquisit as elements. Very much looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this matter! Best Jan ********* How the graph looks like now (no lines inserted; grid, axis and labels inserted as image created in excel): How the graph should look like in the end:

You could, however, draw a simple bar graph instead using <shape>s.

Unfortunately using a bar graph is not an option for me in this situation, looks like I'll go with the excel-copy-and-paste method then. Best, Jan Jan
