The Synthesis API can create plots only from analyzed data sets. In this example, the first three sections of code demonstrate how to create and analyze a simple Weibull++ data set (for a full discussion, see [[Perform_Life_Data_Analysis_on_External_Data_Source|this tutorial]]).

{{APIComment|'Create a Weibull++ data set.}}

WDS.AddFailure(34, 1)

WDS.AddFailure(75, 1)
WDS.AddFailure(93, 1)
WDS.AddSuspension(120, 5)

WDS.AnalysisSettings.Parameters = WeibullSolverNumParameters.MS_2Parameter
WDS.AnalysisSettings.Analysis = WeibullSolverMethod.RRX

{{APIComment|'Analyze the data set.}}
WDS.Calculate()

The [[WAPlots Class|WAPlots]] object represents a plot based on the fitted model of a Weibull++ or ALTA data set. Use the [[WAPlots.AddDataset|AddDataset]] method to assign the data set (in this case, a WeibullDataSet object) to the plot.

{{APIComment|'Declare a new WAPlots object.}}
{{APIPrefix|Dim}} WPlot {{APIPrefix|As New}} WAPlots

{{APIComment|'Add the analyzed data set to the plot.}}

Use the [[WAPlots.CreatePlot|CreatePlot]] method to create a plot. The type of plot it creates is specified by the [[WAPlotType Enumeration|WAPlotType]] enumeration, which includes a variety of plots (e.g., reliability, pdf, contour, failure rate plots, etc.). This example creates a probability plot.

To display the plot, assign it to the <code>Image</code> property of the PictureBox. The <code>SizeMode</code> property is optional; it resizes the PictureBox to fit the image.
