I am trying to use a TSV data file to plot on a graph however the second collum of data isnt being recognized. Can someone Help?

Here is my Code so far:

PFont font;

float x1, y1, x2, y2;

int[]fireData;  
int[]years;

int mostFires;  
int leastFires;

void setup(){  
size(500,500);  
font = loadFont(“berlin30.vlw”);  
textFont(font);  
x1 = 40;  
y1 = 90;  
x2 = width- x1;  
y2 = height - y1;

smooth();

//read the data table  
String[] data = loadStrings(“Califires.tsv”);

fireData = new int [data.length];  
years = new int [data.length];

for(int i=0; i\<data.length; i++){  
String[] pieces = split(data[i], “,”);

years[i] = int(pieces[0]);  
fireData[i] = int(pieces[1]);  
}  
println(“How many years: “+years.length+””);  
println(fireData);

mostFires = max(fireData);  
leastFires = min(fireData);  
}

void draw(){  
background(11, 224, 144);

rectMode(CORNERS);  
noStroke();  
fill(255, 237, 223);  
rect(x1, y1, x2, y2);

fill(8, 4, 4);  
text(“Fires in California through the years”, x1, y1-20);

drawGraph(fireData, mostFires, leastFires, #FF1E06, “F”);

}

void drawGraph(int[] data, int yMin, int yMax, color sColor, String label){  
float x=0;  
float y=0;

stroke(sColor);  
strokeWeight(2);

beginShape();  
for(int i=0; i\<data.length; i++){  
x = map(i,0, data.length-1, x1, x2);  
y = map(data[i], yMin, yMax, y2, y1);  
vertex(x,y);  
}  
endShape();

if(sColor == color(#000000)){  
sColor = color(#EEEEEE);  
}  
fill(sColor);  
textAlign(LEFT);  
text(label, x+10, y);  
noFill();  
}

When I run the println it only show’s 0 for the data which should be large numbers.

Here is the tsv file:

Hi magic\_moose,

A .csv file separates columns by commas. A .tsv file separates columns by tabs. Your file separates columns by both. Does splitting `data[i]` by `",\t"` instead of `","` change the result?

Best,

Another question I had was do you know how to get rid of the black between my graph line?

Another options is to use replace:

> [String / Reference / Processing.org](https://processing.org/reference/String.html)  
> [String (Java Platform SE 6)](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#replaceAll(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String))

I believe `splitTokens` could do the job as well.

For the second question, to remove the black color under the curve, you need to call `noFill();` at the beginning of: `drawGraph()`
