Member of: SynthesisAPI.WAPlots

Returns a bitmap object that represents the plot. (.NET only)

Syntax

.CreatePlot(PlotType, UserSettings, Width, Height)

Parameters

PlotType

Required. The type of plot to create. Can be any WAPlotType constant.

UserSettings

Width

Optional. Integer. The plot width. Default value = 1150 pixels.

Height

Example

To create a plot, you must first add an object to the plot:

• Use the WAPlots.AddDataset method to add either a calculated WeibullDataSet or ALTADataSet object.

OR

• Use the WAPlots.AddModel method to add a cModel object.

The following example uses a WeibullDataSet object to create the plot.

VB.NET
 
 'Declare a WeibullDataSet object. 
  Dim WDS As New WeibullDataSet
 
 'Add failures to the data set. 
  WDS.AddFailure(1, 1)
  WDS.AddFailure(2, 1)
  WDS.AddFailure(3, 1)
 
 'Fit the data to the life distribution, using all default analysis settings.   
  WDS.Calculate

 'Create a WAPlots object.  
  Dim MyPlot As New WAPlots

 'Add the calculated data set to the plot. 
  MyPlot.AddDataset(WDS)

 'Create a Probability plot and display it. This example assumes that a PictureBox control called "PictureBox1" 
 'already exists in the Windows Form project. 
  PictureBox1.Image = MyPlot.CreatePlot(WAPlotType.Probability)
