Method Detail¶

Find¶

Plot.Find¶

Finds the NXOpen.NXObject with the given identifier as recorded in a journal.

An object may not return the same value as its JournalIdentifier in different versions of the software. However newer versions of the software should find the same object when FindObject is passed older versions of its journal identifier. In general, this method should not be used in handwritten code and exists to support record and playback of journals.

An exception will be thrown if no object can be found with the given journal identifier.

Signature Find(journalIdentifier)

Parameters:	journalIdentifier (str) – Journal identifier of the object
Returns:
Return type:	`NXOpen.TaggedObject`

New in version NX10.0.0.

License requirements: None.

FindObject¶

Plot.FindObject¶

Finds the NXOpen.NXObject with the given identifier as recorded in a journal.

An object may not return the same value as its JournalIdentifier in different versions of the software. However newer versions of the software should find the same object when FindObject is passed older versions of its journal identifier. In general, this method should not be used in handwritten code and exists to support record and playback of journals.

An exception will be thrown if no object can be found with the given journal identifier.

Signature FindObject(journalIdentifier)

Parameters:	journalIdentifier (str) – Journal identifier of the object
Returns:
Return type:	`NXOpen.INXObject`

New in version NX3.0.0.

License requirements: None.

FitAxisLimit¶

Plot.FitAxisLimit¶

Update axis limits for an overlaying plot if current displayed axis limits in plot do not fit for all records.

Signature FitAxisLimit()

GetDeviceAndViewIndex¶

Plot.GetDeviceAndViewIndex¶

Gets the window device and view index of the plot graph.

Signature GetDeviceAndViewIndex()

Returns:	a tuple
Return type:	A tuple consisting of (windowDevice, viewIndex). windowDevice is a int. the device of window viewIndex is a int. the index of view

New in version NX9.0.0.
