DeleteData

Description

Deletes a data point from a series of a graph. The remaining data points in the series are shifted left to fill the data point’s category.

Applies to

Graph controls in windows and user objects. Does not apply to graphs within DataWindow objects (because their data comes directly from the DataWindow).

Syntax

controlname.DeleteData ( seriesnumber, datapointnumber )

Argument

Description

controlname

The name of the graph in which you want to delete a data value

seriesnumber

The number of the series containing the data value you want to delete from controlname

datapointnumber

Returns

Integer. Returns 1 if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs. If any argument’s value is null, DeleteData returns null.

Examples

Example 1

integer SeriesNbr

// Get the number of the series.
