CustomDataSurfacePlot

A custom data surface plot result.

Example

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

    -- Retrieve the custom math script and plot it on a Cartesian graph
    
customData = app.MathScripts["CustomMath1"]
graph = app.CartesianSurfaceGraphs:Add()
customDataPlot = graph.Plots:Add(customData)

    -- SetProperties the custom data surface plot
    
customDataPlot.Quantity.Type = "TotalEField"
customDataPlot.HorizontalIndependentAxis = "Z position"
customDataPlot:SetFixedAxisValue("Frequency", 1.7, "GHz")

Inheritance

The CustomDataSurfacePlot object is derived from the ResultSurfacePlot object.

Property List

AxisNames
The names of all the axes on the ResultPlot. (Read only List of string)
DataSource
The source of the surface plot. (Read/Write ResultData)
DiscretePlotEnabled
Specifies whether the discrete plot property is enabled or disabled for this surface plot. (Read/Write boolean)
FixedAxes
The list of fixed axes for this plot. The fixed axes depend on the chosen IndependentAxes as well as the contents of the ResultData object. The value for a specific fixed axis can be queried and set with the GetFixedAxisValue() and SetFixedAxisValue() methods. (Read only List of string)
HorizontalIndependentAxis
The horizontal independent axis of the plot to be displayed, e.g., Frequency, X, Y, Z, etc. (Read/Write string)
IndependentAxesAvailable
The list of available independent axes. (Read only List of string)
Label
The object label. (Read/Write string)
Legend
The surface plot legend properties. (Read only SurfacePlotLegendFormat)
Quantity
The custom data surface plot quantity properties. (Read only CustomDataQuantity)
Sampling
The continuous surface plot sampling settings. These settings only apply to traces when the independent axis is continuously sampled. (Read only SurfacePlotSamplingFormat)
Type
The object type string. (Read only string)
VerticalIndependentAxis
The vertical independent axis of the plot to be displayed, e.g., Frequency, X, Y, Z, etc. (Read/Write string)
Visible
Specifies whether the surface plot must be shown or hidden. (Read/Write boolean)

Method List

Delete ()
Delete the surface plot.
GetAxisUnit (axis string)
Returns the SI unit of the specified axis. (Returns a string object.)
GetFixedAxisAvailableValues (axis string)
Returns the list of available values for the specified axis. (Returns a List of string object.)
GetFixedAxisValue (axis string)
Returns the current value for the specified fixed axis. (Returns a string object.)
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.)
SetFixedAxisValue (axis string, numvalue number, unit string)
Set the fixed axis to the specified value.
SetFixedAxisValue (axis string, strvalue string)
Set the fixed axis to the specified value.
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.
SwitchIndependentAxes ()
Switches the horizontal and vertical independent axes.
