CPlotView:SetIndex

The SetIndex method changes the current plot series index to a specified value.

Syntax

bSuccess = CPlotView:SetIndex( nSeries )

nSeries is the series index in the range 1 to Count.

bSuccess is the returned success code. On success it is true, otherwise false.

A plot window shows all series simultaneously in over-plot mode, or it displays only the current series in animation mode. Therefore, if the plot window is in over-plot mode, changing the current series does not affect the appearance of the window.

Example

The following script plots some points in different series of a CPlotView. It then sets the index back to the first series and returns some information about the current series:

V = CPlotView:new()	-- create a CPlotView
V:Add( 25, 66.5)	-- add a point to the data array
--	-- add 99 more points
V:PlotPoints()	-- plot 100 points in a new plot window
V:Empty()	-- empty all the points
V:Add( 20, 51.4)	-- add 1 point to a new data array
V:AddSeries()	-- plot the point as a new series
V:Add( 32, 100.75)	-- add 1 point to a new data array
V:AddSeries()	-- plot the point as a new series
V:SetIndex(1)	-- go back to series 1
n = V:Count()	-- number of plot series
c = V:GetIndex()	-- index of current series
Printf( "n=%d, cur=%d", n,c)	-- result: n=3, cur=1
