Programmatically Configure the X-Axis Label of a DIAdem Graph Object

[MilanR]

Overview

This script rogrammatically modifies the X-Axis label of a graph from DIAdem and demonstrates how to configure the graph objects and properties.

Description

This example shows how to navigate the graph properties in DIAdem. The specific property to modify in this case is the XAxis label text. DIAdem Help for D2AxisXTxt specifies the type of the main object to be 2D-Axis and the type of the subobject to be 2D-XAxis. After creating the object reference to the 2D-Axis, retrieve the 2D-XAxis subobject. If you do not know the object name, use the object type to find the object name. In this case, D2AxisXObj enumeration can be used to iterate through the existing 2D-XAxis objects starting at index 1..AxisNoMax. This example only has 1 2D-XAxis so specify 1 as the index.

For more information on the 2D Axis objects, see the DIAdem Help files:

DIAdem Help Topic: Accessing Objects in DIAdem REPORT

DIAdem Help Topic: Variable: D2AxisXTxt

DIAdem Help Topic: Variable: D2AxisXObj

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. From the SCRIPT tab in DIAdem, open the attached .vbs file.

Requirements

Software

DIAdem (tested in 2012)

The modified graph should look like this:

Code Snippet

Call GraphObjNew("2D-Axis","my2DAxis")      'Creates a new 2D axis system

Call GraphObjOpen(D2AxisXObj(1))                'Opens reference to X-Axis

    D2AxisXTxt       =     "A Lovely X-Axis"

Call GraphObjClose(D2AxisXObj(1))
