LineGraph
Create a line graph plot.
Syntax
model.result(<pgtag>).create(<ftag>,"LineGraph");
model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).selection(...);
model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).set(property, <value>);
model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).run();
Description
model.result(<pgtag>).create(<ftag>,"LineGraph") creates a line graph plot feature named <ftag> belonging to the plot group <pgtag>.
A line graph plot is used to visualize quantities on lines, either cut lines or boundaries (2D) and edges (3D) in a geometry. Line graph plots can be added to 1D plot groups.
The following properties are available:

expressionintitle
on | off
off
Whether the title contribution should contain the expression when titletype is custom.
innerinput
all | first | last | manual | manualindices | interp
all
How to input the solution to use. manual indicates that solnum is used. manualindices indicates that solnumindices is used. interp indicates that t is used.
interp
double row matrix
Empty on all levels.
The times to use, for transient levels. Available when data is not parent and the underlying data is transient.
legend

off
Whether to show legends
legendmethod
automatic | manual
automatic
Whether to use the automatic legends or the legends supplied in the legends property.
legendprefix
String
 
A prefix added to the automatic legend.
legends
String array
The last computed automatic legends
Manual legends active when legendmethod is set to manual.
legendsuffix
String
 
A suffix added to the automatic legend.
linecolor
custom | cycle | black | blue | cyan | gray | green | magenta | red | white | yellow
cycle
How to color the lines in the graph. Cycle indicates that the colors is different for each line.
linewidth
double
0.5
The line width.
linemarker
none | cycle | asterisk | circle | diamond | plus | point | square | star | triangle
none
The line markers, if any. Cycle indicates that the marker is different for each line.
looplevel
integer row matrix
All solutions on all levels
The solutions to use, per level.
looplevelindices
integer row matrix
Empty
An alternative way to specify the solutions to use, allowing you to enter, for example, range(1,1,20). Applicable when looplevelinput is manualindices on a level.
looplevelinput
String array with all | first | last | manual | manualindices | interp on each level
all on all levels
How to input the solution to use, per level. manual on a level indicates that looplevel is used on that level. manualindices on a level indicates that looplevelindices is used on that level. interp on a level indicates that interp is used on that level.
markerpos
interp | datapoints
interp
Controls whether the positions of the markers are in the data points of the plot, or interpolated depending on the number (set in markers). Markers are visible when linemarker is set.
markers
integer
8
The number of markers to show. Markers are visible when linemarker is set.
linestyle
none | cycle | solid | dotted | dashed | dashdot
solid
The line style, if any. Cycle indicates that the line style is different for each line.
outerinput
all | first | last | manual | manualindices
all
How to input the outer solutions to use. Applicable only for parametric sweep models. manual indicates that outersolnum is used. manualindices indicates that outersolnumindices is used.
outersolnum
nonnegative integer array
1
The index of the outer solutions to use. Applicable only for parametric sweep models. Since the various outer solutions can have different number of solnum, the solnum property is not used.
outersolnumindices
String or integer array
Empty
An alternative way to specify the outer solutions to use, allowing you to enter, for example, range(1,1,20). Applicable when outerinput is manualindices.
plotonsecyaxis
Boolean
true
Plot on secondary y-axis, if twoyaxes is set to true in the parent plot group.
prefixintitle
String
Empty
Added prefix to contribution to title.
refine
nonnegative integer
1
The element refinement to use, if resolution is set to manual. Bear in mind that this is the refinement used for the base data set, so the number of elements in the model can increase radically if the plot uses, for example, a revolve data set.
resolution
norefine | coarse | normal | fine | finer | extrafine | custom
normal
Controls the plot’s resolution. A finer setting results in a higher resolution by modifying the internally computed default refinement. Use custom to enter your own refinement in the refine property.
solnum
integer array
All solutions
The solutions to plot. Available when data is not parent and the underlying data has multiple solutions.
solnumindices
String or integer array
Empty
An alternative way to specify the solutions to use, allowing you to enter, for example, range(1,1,20). Applicable when innerinput is manualindices.
solrepresentation
solnum | solutioninfo
solutioninfo
Indicates which method of selecting solutions is active.
suffixintitle
String
Empty
Added suffix to contribution to title.
t
double array
Empty
The times to plot. Available when data is not parent and the underlying solution is transient.
title
String
The auto-title
The title to use when titletype is manual.
titletype
auto | custom | manual | none
auto
auto if the title contribution should be computed automatically, possibly using the group’s customization. custom if the title contribution should be computed automatically, but customized. manual if the manual title contribution should be used (the title property). none if no title contribution should be used.
typeintitle
on | off
on
Whether the title contribution should contain the type when titletype is custom.
unit
String
Model-dependent
The unit to use for the expression in expr. If the old unit is not valid when the expression changes, the unit property is reset to default.
unitintitle
on | off
on
Whether the title contribution should contain the unit when titletype is custom.
xdata
arc | reversedarc | expr
solution
x-axis data. expr uses the expression in xdataexpr. arc uses the curve’s arc length, and reversedarc uses the arc length measured from the curve’s endpoint.
xdataexpr
String
Model-dependent
Expression for x-axis data
xdatadescr
String
Model-dependent
Description of expression in xdataexpr.
xdataunit
String
Model-dependent
The unit to use for the expression in xdataexpr. If the old unit is not valid when the expression changes, the unit property is reset to default.
