2.2.4.17.5 GraphLayer::AddXErrBar

AddXErrBar

Description

Adds an X error bar plot to an existing dataplot.

Syntax

int AddXErrBar( Curve & cData, Column & colXErrBar )

int AddXErrBar( Curve & cData, Dataset & dsXErrBar )

Parameters

cData

[input] Data curve to add the X error bar to

colXErrBar

[input] the Data curve to be used as X error bar

cData

[input] Data curve to add the X error bar to

dsXErrBar

[input] the dataset to be used as X error bar

Return

the index of the the added X error bar dataplot in layer, or -1 if failed.

Examples

EX1

// For this example to run, a worksheet with columns "A" and "B" and another column
// (the third column) must exist with some numeric data in them. 
// After the function executes, the third column of the worksheet will be used
// for X error bars (the graph may need to be refreshed to see the error bars).
void    GraphLayer_AddXErrBar_ex1()
{
    GraphPage gp;
    gp.Create();
    GraphLayer    lay = gp.Layers(0);
 
    // a dataplot in the layer that uses column B as Y and column A as X
    Worksheet wks = Project.WorksheetPages(0).Layers(0);
    if(lay && wks)
    {
        Curve            cc(wks, 0, 1);
        lay.AddPlot(cc);
 
        // use the third column in the worksheet for X error bar:
        Column    colErrBar(wks, 2);        
        int                nPlotIndex = lay.AddXErrBar(cc, colErrBar);

EX2
