CartesianSurfaceGraph

A Cartesian surface graph where results can be plotted.

Example

app = pf.GetApplication()
app:NewProject()
app:OpenFile(FEKO_HOME..[[/shared/Resources/Automation/startup.fek]])

    -- Create a surface graph with a trace 
    
graph = app.CartesianSurfaceGraphs:Add()
farFieldPlot = graph.Plots:Add(app.Models[1].Configurations[1].FarFields[1])

    -- Export an image at a specific aspect ratio
    
graph:Restore()
graph:SetSize(800,400)
graph:ExportImage("temp_FarFieldGraph", "png", 1000, 500)

Inheritance

The CartesianSurfaceGraph object is derived from the SurfaceGraph object.

Collection List

Plots
The collection of surface plots on the graph. (ResultSurfacePlotCollection of ResultSurfacePlot.)

Method List

BlockGraphRedraws ()
Disables graph redraws for performance purposes. When all the changes to the graph are complete, call UnblockGraphRedraws to re-enable graph updates.
Close ()
Close the window.
Duplicate ()
Duplicate the surface graph. (Returns a CartesianSurfaceGraph object.)
ExportImage (filename string, fileformat string)
Export the window image at its same size to a specified file.
ExportImage (filename string, fileformat string, imagewidth number, imageheight number)
Export the window image at the given size to a specified file.
GetProperties ()
Returns a table of properties representing the state of the object. The properties table can be used with the SetProperties method to change multiple properties of the object in one step. (Returns a table object.)
Maximise ()
Maximise the window.
Minimise ()
Minimise the window.
Restore ()
Restore the window.
SetPosition (xposition number, yposition number)
Sets the view position. Note that the view is restored when this function is called.
SetProperties (properties table)
Modifies the state of the object using the provided table of properties. This method is used to modify multiple properties of the object in a single step.
SetSize (imagewidth number, imageheight number)
Sets the view size. Note that the view is restored when this function is called.
Show ()
Shows the view.
UnblockGraphRedraws ()
Enables graph redraws. This method is used in conjunction with BlockGraphRedraws for performance purposes. The graph is redrawn when this method is called and normals redraws will occur on changes.
ZoomToExtents ()
Zoom the content of the window to its extent.
