2.1.14.1.1 add_plots_to_layer

Description

It adds one or more plots to a graph layer using data from a worksheet.

Syntax

int add_plots_to_layer( GraphLayer & lay, int nPlotType, LPCSTR lpcszWksName, vector<string> & vsCols, vector<uint> & vpdesig, DWORD dwCntrl = DPEDTVIEW_HIDE_LIMITS )

Parameters

lay

[input] graph layer to add the plot(s) to.

nPlotType

[input] plot type id

lpcszWksName

[input] the name of the worksheet to take the data from. It can be "[book]sheet" if workbook name is different from worksheet name.

vsCols

[input] vector of strings with the column names to use from the worksheet lpcszWksName when creating the plot.

vpdesig

[input] a vector of integers holding the column designations for each column

from the vector vsCols. The size of the vector vpdesig must match

the size of the vector vsCols. The column designations must have the

values from the following enumeration:

typedef enum tagPlotDesignationEx {

COLDESIG_NONE = 0,

COLDESIG_X = 1,

COLDESIG_Y,

COLDESIG_Z,

COLDESIG_ERROR_OR_LABEL_BEGIN,

COLDESIG_LABEL = COLDESIG_ERROR_OR_LABEL_BEGIN,

COLDESIG_XERROR,

COLDESIG_YERROR,

COLDESIG_YPLUSERROR,

COLDESIG_ERROR_OR_LABEL_END,

COLDESIG_YMINUSERROR = COLDESIG_ERROR_OR_LABEL_END,

COLDESIG_SIZE, // for symbol size in bubble plots

COLDESIG_COLOR, // for symbol color in scatter color plots

COLDESIG_VECTOR_ANGLE, // for vector XYAM plots

COLDESIG_VECTOR_MAGNITUDE, // for vector XYAM plots

COLDESIG_VECTOR_XEND, // for vector XYXY plots

COLDESIG_VECTOR_YEND // for vector XYXY plots

} PlotDesignationEx;

dwCntrl

[input] view filter for DataPlots tree editor

Return

1) >0, the total number of plots added;

2) =0 means "Failed to add dataplots.";

3) =-1 means "Cannot create plot tree.";
