[proFit-list] Programming Questions

[pro Fit Support]

Dear Andrew

These are good questions.

As to question 1: There is no way, presently, to programmatically display the colour legend. The best you could do is to save a drawing document with a graph in it that has a colour legend as you want to have it. Remove all plots from the graph. For plotting, then open the document from your script, and then plot into its graph.

As to question 2: The GUI does not allow to use non-numeric y-columns. However, you can issue a PlotData command with the parameter yColumn indicating a text column.

Hope this helps.

One way around this problem is to choose the "Row Index" as the y-axis and then replace it with a  Category Axis; this does seem to work. Is there any way to do this programmatically, that is, set a new category axis in a program?
