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

The data set must first be analyzed (with either the WeibullDataSet.Calculate or ALTADataSet.Calculate method) before it can be plotted.

.CreatePlot(PlotType, UserSettings, Width, Height)

Parameters

PlotType

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

Example

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 picture box control called "PictureBox1" 
 'already exists in the project. 
  PictureBox1.Image = MyPlot.CreatePlot(WAPlotType.Probability)
