`CustomDataSmithTrace`

A custom data 2D Smith trace.

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 Smith chart
    
customData = app.MathScripts["CustomMath1"]
graph = app.SmithCharts:Add()
customDataTrace = graph.Traces:Add(customData)

Inheritance

The CustomDataSmithTrace object is derived from the ResultTrace object.

Property List

Axes: The trace axes properties. (Read only TraceAxes)
AxisNames: The names of all the axes on the ResultPlot. (Read only List of string)
DataSource: The source of the trace. (Read/Write ResultData)
FixedAxes: The list of fixed axes for this plot. The fixed axes depend on the chosen PlotType 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)
IndependentAxesAvailable: The list of available independent axes. (Read only List of string)
IndependentAxis: The independent axis of the plot to be displayed, e.g., Frequency, X, Y, Z, etc. (Read/Write string)
Label: The object label. (Read/Write string)
Legend: The trace legend properties. (Read only TraceLegendFormat)
Line: The trace line format properties. (Read only TraceLineFormat)
Markers: The trace marker format properties. (Read only TraceMarkersFormat)
Quantity: The custom data Smith trace quantity properties. (Read only CustomSmithTraceQuantity)
Sampling: The continuous trace sampling settings. These settings only apply to traces when the independent axis is continuously sampled. (Read only TraceSamplingFormat)
Type: The object type string. (Read only string)
Values: The values that are plotted on the graph for this trace. The first column represents the independent axis and the second column represents the scalar quantity being displayed on the graph. Each row represents a sampled coordinate pair. (Read only Matrix)
Visible: Specifies whether the trace must be shown or hidden. (Read/Write boolean)

Method List

Delete (): Delete the trace.
Duplicate (): Duplicate the trace. (Returns a ResultTrace object.)
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 fixed 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.)
Lower (): Lower the trace.
Raise (): Raise the trace.
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.

ResultTrace: The duplicated trace.

GetAxisUnit (axis string)

Returns the SI unit of the specified axis.

Input Parameters

axis(string): The axis.

Return

string: The SI unit string.

GetFixedAxisAvailableValues (axis string)

Returns the list of available values for the specified fixed axis.

Input Parameters

axis(string): The fixed axis.
