Hi there
I was searching for the command, which shows the data points in a 3d surface plot (black, rectangular points), in the manual, but I somehow could not find it. Does somebody has found it?
Thanks for your help.
Cheers seppli

Saving Problems

I'm sorry, but I have one more question.
I'm using for the xyz surface plot the script which is included in dplotlib.xla. At the end of the script I want to save the plot, which I generated, with this command:
ret = DPlot_Command(doc, "[Directory("C:\My Documents\")]")
ret = DPlot_Command(doc, "[FileSaveAs(1,"|TITLE1||TITLE2|.grf")]")
but this is ending in a error message like "Syntax error". What I'm doing wrong?
many thanks in previous

The quotation marks are fouling things up. Quotation marks are used to delineate the entire command string, as well as any character string arguments within a command.
So instead of this:
ret = DPlot_Command(doc, "[Directory("C:\My Documents\")]")
you'll need to do something like this:
ret = DPlot_Command(doc, "[Directory(""C:\My Documents\"")]")
which is more or less equivalent to this (which may make it clearer):
ret = DPlot_Command(doc, "[Directory(" & chr$(34) & "C:\My Documents\" & chr$(34) & ")]")

Ah yes
thank you for your help. As you see I'm not a very experienced vba programmer. It is now perfectly working. But if I am using replaceable Parameters in the FileSiveAs command like "|TITLE1|" I get an error message: "Null result for replaceable parameter |TITLE1| in FileSaveAs command. Why?
have a nice day

The error indicates that your plot has no first title line... except that's not correct. I tried an example just now and get the same message with a plot that definitely has a title. I obviously fouled something up in a recent release. Sorry for the trouble, will fix this in the next release.

Yes that's why I was a bit confused, because my plot has a first title line... But thank you for your help and your nice support!
ContourLevels Command with Variables

Thanks for the new release!
I'm sorry to disturb you again, but i have one more question regarding my excel macro.
I'm using a surface plot, and I want to force the countour levels with the following command: [ContourLevels(a,b,c)] a,b,c are variables defined as Public Integer in an other Sub. I always get en error when I use these variables in the command, when I put numbers in it, it works.
Can you help me? Thanks and have a nice day.

All of the commands sent to DPlot via DPlot_Command are character strings. So this will work:
Code: Select all
ret=DPlot_Command(doc,"[ContourLevels(20,0,1000)]")
but the following will give an error, as you've already found:
Code: Select all
Dim a as Long
Dim b as Double
Dim c as Double
a=20
b=0
c=1000
ret=DPlot_Command(doc,"[ContourLevels(a,b,c)]")
(In this case you aren't really sending the variables a, b, c, you're sending the character string "a,b,c")
What you want is something like this:
Code: Select all
Dim a as Long
Dim b as Double
Dim c as Double
a=20
b=0
c=1000
ret=DPlot_Command(doc,"[ContourLevels(" & str$(a) & "," & str$(b) & "," & str$(c) & ")]")
