CimPairData provides a method called Push.
Push:
Allows you to insert one or
more pairs of X and Y data values through the end of the X and Y
vectors. This is particularly useful if your series plots a
continuous flow of data. An example of continuous flow of data is a
function curve such as cosine of an incremental variable.
Expects the variant type
for the type of X and Y values
This variant type can be a single or array value of any of the following Basic types that result in a numeric value including:
Integer
Long
Single
Double
Decimal
Boolean
Byte
Variant
String
Example. Push One or More Data Values
You have a series whose X and Y values are the following:
|
X |
5 |
10 |
15 |
20 |
25 |
30 |
|
Y |
22 |
17 |
9 |
-7 |
22 |
41 |
You push the following X and Y values:
|
X |
35 |
40 |
45 |
50 |
|
Y |
59 |
37 |
21 |
6 |
The series X and Y values are now the following:
|
X |
25 |
30 |
35 |
40 |
45 |
50 |
|
Y |
22 |
41 |
59 |
37 |
21 |
6 |
The first four pairs of XY values have been removed from the series because the size of the X and Y vectors is fixed.
Scripting examples for setting single and array values include:
Example 1. Push values into a Series
Series name: Series 1
Script purpose: Push an integer and a double value into Series 1
Procedure:
Open the CimEdit Properties dialog box for the XY Plot control object.
Display the Edit Script tab.
Write the following Basic excerpt within a subroutine.
' Create an integer and a double value:
Dim x as Integer
x = 7
Dim y as Double
Y = 22.74
' Push the data into the series object:
cimOleObj.Series("Series 1").Data.Push x, y
Example 2. Push Array Values into a Series
Series name: Series 1
Script purpose: Create an array of variant values and an array of double values and push them into Series 1
Procedure:
Open the CimEdit Properties dialog box for the XY Plot control object.
Display the Edit Script tab.
Write the following Basic excerpt within a subroutine.
' Create an array of variant values:
Dim x(4) As Variant
x(0) = 1
x(1) = Null
x(2) = 4.78
x(3) = Empty
x(4) ="5.78"
' Create an array of random double values:
Randomize
Dim y(4) As Double
For i = 0 To 4
y(i) = Random(0, 50)
Next i
' Push the data into the series object:
cimOleObj.Series("Series 1").Data.Push x, y
