Axis class

Axis

Represents an axis in a data cache specification.

Constructors

• (DataCacheSpecification dataCache "Validate against this data cache", string name "Initial name", string text "Initial text") - Create new axis
  

Methods

• int AddOption(AxisOption option "Option to add") - Add an option to current list
  
• Empty AddOrUpdateAxisInAxisSet() - Add or Update this axis in the axis set of the given data cache
  
• bool AddTag(string tag "Tag to work on") - Add a new tag. Return false if already added
  
• bool AddToAxisSet() - Add this axis to the axis set of the given data cache. Return false if Name already exists
  
• int CountOptions() - Number of current options
  
• object this[] { get; }(int index "Index") - Backward-compatible indexer
  
• bool HasTag(string tag "Tag to work on") - Return true if tag is added
  
• Array of string ListTags() - Return list of all added tags
  
• Empty RemoveOption(AxisOption option "Option to remove") - Remove option
  
• bool RemoveOption(int index "Index of option in the list") - Remove option
  
• bool RemoveTag(string tag "Tag to work on") - Remove a tag. Return false if not added
  
• Empty this[] { set; }(int index "Index", object value "Value to set") - Backward-compatible indexer
  
• string ToString() - The string representation of the object.
  
• bool UpdateAxisInAxisSet() - Update this axis in the axis set of the given data cache. Return false if Name does not exist already
  

Properties

• LocalizedString LocalizedTexts { get; } - Get/set localized Text (description)
  
• LocalizedString LocalizedTitles { get; } - Get/set localized Titles
  
• string MathBase { get; set; } - Get/set Math base (dcs column used to calculate statitics on)
  
• string MathBaseModifier { get; set; } - Get/set Math base modifier (filter for statistics calculations)
  
• string Name { get; set; } - Get/set Name (unique id)
  
• string ObjectTypeName { get; } - The name of the type of object.
  
• array Options { get; set; } - Get/set options
  
• string PctBase { get; set; } - Get/set Percentage base (denominator) for all options
  
• string Text { get; set; } - Get/set Text (description)
  
• TypeInformation TypeInformation { get; } - Get information about this class.
  
• bool Weight { get; set; } - Get/set if used for weight
  

Examples

New Axis

DataCacheSpecification dcs = new DataCacheSpecification(15636760);
Axis axis = new Axis (dcs, "Gender", "Your Gender");
axis.MathBase = "Gender";
axis.PctBase = "Gender!=empty";
axis.AddOption(new AxisOption(dcs, "Male", "Gender == [1]"));
axis.AddOption(new AxisOption(dcs, "Female", "Gender == [2]"));
axis.AddToAxisSet();
dcs.Save();

Remove options

DCS_use(15636575);
Axis axis = AxisSet_getAxis("Gender");
array options = axis.Options;
for(number i=0; i<options.Count; i++)
{
	AxisOption option = options[i];
	axis.RemoveOption(option);
}
AxisSet_save();
