Thorsten:

My guess is you're looking for

<xsl:with-param name="y-natrium-after">
  <xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::labor[1]/natrium"/>
</xsl:with-param>

which sets $y-natrium-after to being the natrium child of the first following labor element (given a labor element as context node).

But what are you planning to do with the last one?

BTW (and FWIW): you've got alot of redundancy/verbosity in your code. For example,

<xsl:for-each select="labor">
<xsl:apply-templates select=".">
<xsl:with-param name="x-offset"><xsl:value-of select="(position() *
50)"/></xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="y-natrium-after"><xsl:value-of
select="natrium[(position() + 1)]"/></xsl:with-param>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:for-each>

would be no different from


<xsl:apply-templates select="labor">
  <xsl:with-param name="x-offset" select="(position() * 50)"/>
  <xsl:with-param name="y-natrium-after"
    select="natrium[(position() + 1)]"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>

and

<path>
<xsl:attribute name="id">
<xsl:text>line_row1</xsl:text></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute
name="style"><xsl:text>visibility:visible</xsl:text></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="d">
<xsl:text>M </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="$x-offset"/><xsl:text>
</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="$y-natrium"/>
<xsl:text> L </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="$x-offset + 28"/><xsl:text>
</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="$y-natrium-after"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</path>

could be


<path id="line-row1" style="visibility:visible"
      d="M {$x-offset} {$y-natrium}
         L {$x-offset + 28} {$y-natrium-after}"/>

which is more legible once you know what the {} (attribute value templates) are.

Do you care about this stuff? The main thing is to get it working, I guess. To solve your basic problem it sounds like you want to learn some more about how XPath works.

Good luck,
Wendell

Hello, I'm working for a little project to transform XML with XSL(T) in a
SVG line chart.
For drawing lines in SVG I have to specify two points. For example, I would
like to draw a line with the y-coordinates of the three <natrium>-Tags in my
XML-file - the x-coordinates are maybe 50, 100, 150.
I tried to do it with a <xsl:for-each> and a position() like shown in my
(simplified) XSL-file, but it doesn't work. My idea is something like ...
natrium[position + 1] ... for the following value. Can anybody help me??
Thanks a lot...
