Examples

EX1

//Output all graph objects after removing first object.
void Layer_RemoveGraphObject_ex1()
{
    // Call this function with a graph window active
    // NOTE: This function removes the first graph object from layer!
    // So first save the project if you want to reload the graph later.
    //
    // Create a Layer object and attach it to the currently active graph layer
    GraphLayer    gly = Project.ActiveLayer();
    if( gly.IsValid() )
    {
        // List all graph objects in layer by their index and name
        GraphObject grobj;
        out_str( "List of all graph objects currently in layer:" );
        foreach( grobj in gly.GraphObjects )
            printf( "   GraphObject index, name: %d, %s\n", grobj.GetIndex(), grobj.GetName() );
        // Now remove the first graph object from the layer and list again
        gly.RemoveGraphObject( 0 );
        out_str( "List of all graph objects after removing first object:" );
        foreach( grobj in gly.GraphObjects )
            printf( "   GraphObject index, name: %d, %s\n", grobj.GetIndex(), grobj.GetName() );        
        // Refresh the graph page
        Page pg = gly.GetPage();
        pg.Refresh();
    }
    else
        out_str( "No graph layer is active" )
}

EX2

 // This function removes the Y-axis title object from layer.
void Layer_RemoveGraphObject_ex2()
{
    // Call this function with a graph window active
   
    // So first save the project if you want to reload the graph later.
    //
    // Create a Layer object and attach it to the currently active graph layer
    GraphLayer    gly = Project.ActiveLayer();
    if( gly.IsValid() )
    {
        // Remove the Y-axis title object 
        gly.RemoveGraphObject( "YL" );
        Page pg = gly.GetPage();
        pg.Refresh();
