How to create a function series graph


Summary
This topic shows how to create a function graph and make changes to function-specific parameters.

Creating a function series graph

To create a function series graph, modify the following parameters:
  • pathToShapeFile—The path to shapefile to build the function graph.
  • seriesFieldName—The numerical field used to build the bar series as the data source for function series.
  • pathToOutImage—The output file containing an image of the graph (see the application programming interface [API] documentation for the appropriate format extension in IDataGraphBase.ExportToFile).
See the following code example:
[C#] 
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            IAoInitialize ao=new AoInitializeClass();
            ao.Initialize(esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeBasic);
            SampleFunctionSmoothing(@"path to your shapefile", "field name", @
                "path to your output image");
            ao.Shutdown();
        }

        static void SampleFunctionSmoothing(String pathToShapeFile, String
            seriesFieldName, String pathToOutImage)
        {

            // Open workspace for input shapefile.
            IWorkspaceFactory shapefileWorkspaceFactory=new
                ShapefileWorkspaceFactoryClass();
            IWorkspace shapefileWorkspace;
            shapefileWorkspace=shapefileWorkspaceFactory.OpenFromFile
                (System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(pathToShapeFile), 0);
            IFeatureWorkspace featureWorkspace=(IFeatureWorkspace)
                shapefileWorkspace;

            // Get table for input shapefile.
            ITable table=(ITable)featureWorkspace.OpenFeatureClass
                (System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(pathToShapeFile));

            // Create data graph.
            IDataGraphT dataGraphT=new DataGraphTClass();

            // Add bar series.
            ISeriesProperties seriesProps=dataGraphT.AddSeries("bar:vertical");
            seriesProps.SourceData=table;
            seriesProps.SetField(1, seriesFieldName);

            // Add function series.
            ISeriesProperties funcSeriesProps=dataGraphT.AddSeries("ftSmoothing");

            // The only valid data source for the function series is another nonfunction series unique name.
            funcSeriesProps.SourceData=seriesProps.UniqueName;
            funcSeriesProps.CustomColor=0x000000ff;

            // Set smoothing function-specific parameters.
            IFunctionSeriesProperties funcProps=(IFunctionSeriesProperties)
                funcSeriesProps;
            funcProps.set_Property("FACTOR", 4);
            funcProps.set_Property("LINE_PASSES_POINTS", true);

            // Update data graph.
            dataGraphT.Update(null);

            // Export graph to file (format depends on file extension).
            dataGraphT.ExportToFile(pathToOutImage);
        }
    }
}
