Graph

Récapitulatif

The Graph class helps you in creating graphs of different types. Also, you can specify general graph properties such as the title, graph axes, and legend information.

Discussion

Graphs assist you in presenting information about map features and the relationship between them in a visual, easy-to-understand manner. Graphs may also be created for nonspatial tabular data and can show both additional information about the features on the map or the same information in a different way. Graphs are complementary to maps in that they simply and visually convey information that would generally be summarized numerically or explored from tables. With a graph, it is easy to quickly compare features to gain insight into the functional relationship between the features and thereby visualize the distribution, trends, and patterns in the data that would otherwise be difficult to see.

Sets the title of the axes (Left, Right, Bottom, and Top) of the graph.

graphAxis property

Description

aType

The type of graph property, which is applied to the graph irrespective of the number or type of series in the graph. The graphAxis property is a general graph property.

Left

Title of the left axis of the graph. For example, you can specify the title of the left axis by setting graphAxis[0] to "Left Axis".

Right

Title of the right axis of the graph. For example, you can specify the title of the right axis by setting graphAxis[1] to "Right Axis".

Bottom

Graph example

The following script creates a Vertical Bar graph and saves it as an image.

import arcpy

# Set local variables:
output_graph_name = "VerticalBarGraph"
verticalBarGraph_bmp = "C:/temp/VerticalBarGraph.bmp"
inputTemplate = "C:/Data/makegraph/VerticalBar.tee"
inputData = "C:/Data/makegraph/Rainfall.gdb/Rainfall"

# Create the graph
graph = arcpy.Graph()

# Add a vertical bar series to the graph
graph.addSeriesBarVertical(inputData, "Rainfall_Stations_OBJECTID")

# Specify the title of the left axis
graph.graphAxis[0] = "Rainfall"

# Specify the title of the bottom axis
graph.graphAxis[2] = "Days"

# Specify the title of the Graph
graph.graphPropsGeneral.title = "Amount of Rainfall"

# Output a graph, which is created in-memory
arcpy.MakeGraph_management(inputTemplate, graph, output_graph_name)

# Save the graph as an image
arcpy.SaveGraph_management(output_graph_name, verticalBarGraph_bmp, "MAINTAIN_ASPECT_RATIO", "600", "375")
