How to use the Graphy robot skill
The Graphy skill is used for creating graphs and plotting data using ControlCommand() scripts. Graph data can be saved as a .CSV file.
Main Window
1. File Button Save the Graph data to a .CSV file
2. Remove All Series Button Clears all the graph data.
3. Graph Window Displays all the graph data.
4. Script In order to use the Graphy skill a Script must be used to populate graph data.
How to Use the Graphy Skill
Add Data
ControlCommand("Graphy", AddData, SeriesName, YData)
Example: ControlCommand("Graphy", AddData, "Test Data", $value)
Adds data to the series name. If the series name doesn't exist, a series will be created with the specified name.
Add New Series
ControlCommand("Graphy", AddSeries, SeriesName, type)
Example: ControlCommand("Graphy", AddSeries, "Test Data", "line")
Adds a series to the chart with the specified name. The series chart type must be one of: Point, FastPoint, Bubble, Line, Spline, StepLine, FastLine, Bar, StackedBar, StackedBar100, Column, StackedColumn, StackedColumn100, Area, SplineArea, StackedArea, StackedArea100, Pie, Doughnut, Stock, Candlestick, Range, SplineRange, RangeBar, RangeColumn, Radar, Polar, ErrorBar, BoxPlot, Renko, ThreeLineBreak, Kagi, PointAndFigure, Funnel, Pyramid. Some types may return an error because they require only 1 series in the chart.
Change Series Type
ControlCommand("Graphy", ChangeSeriesType, SeriesName, type)
Example: ControlCommand("Graphy", ChangeSeriesType, "Test Data", "line")
Changes the series type of the chart with the specified name. The series chart type must be one of: Point, FastPoint, Bubble, Line, Spline, StepLine, FastLine, Bar, StackedBar, StackedBar100, Column, StackedColumn, StackedColumn100, Area, SplineArea, StackedArea, StackedArea100, Pie, Doughnut, Stock, Candlestick, Range, SplineRange, RangeBar, RangeColumn, Radar, Polar, ErrorBar, BoxPlot, Renko, ThreeLineBreak, Kagi, PointAndFigure, Funnel, Pyramid. Some types may return an error because they require only 1 series in the chart.
Reset All Chart Data
ControlCommand("Graphy", RemoveAllSeries)
Example: ControlCommand("Graphy", RemoveAllSeries)
Resets all the chart data for all series.
Remove Series Data
ControlCommand("Graphy", RemoveSeries, SeriesName)
Example: ControlCommand("Graphy", RemoveSeries, "Test Data")
Resets all the chart data for the specified series only.
Show Legend
ControlCommand("Graphy", ShowLegend, true/false)
Example: ControlCommand("Graphy", ShowLegend, true/false)
Enables/disables the legend. Use this if you require more screen real-estate by removing the legend.
Code Sample
This code will graph 3 servo positions while the servos are moving.ControlCommand("Graphy", RemoveAllSeries)
:loop
$pos = getservo(d0)
ControlCommand("Graphy", AddData, "Servo D0", $pos)
$pos = getservo(d1)
ControlCommand("Graphy", AddData, "Servo D1", $pos)
$pos = getservo(d4)
ControlCommand("Graphy", AddData, "Servo D4", $pos)
sleep(250)
goto(loop)
