| ==Prerequisites==
| |
| In this tutorial, you'll use a Windows Form application to create a button that, when clicked, analyzes a Weibull++ data set and displays the resulting plot. Before you begin, be sure to create a Windows Form Application project, and add a '''Button''' and a '''PictureBox''' control to the form. You can rename the button to "Create Plot," if desired.

| ==Tutorial: Weibull++/ALTA Plots ==
| |
| The following example demonstrates how to use the Synthesis API to create a Weibull++ probability plot and display it in a Windows application. To run this example, paste the code to the Button Click event handler as shown below. A discussion of the example follows.

| ==Discussion==
| |
|
| |
| The Synthesis API can create plots only from analyzed data sets. In this example, the first three sections of code demonstrate how to create and analyze a simple Weibull++ data set (for a full discussion, see [[Perform_Life_Data_Analysis_on_External_Data_Source|this tutorial]]).

| |
| The [[WAPlots Class|WAPlots]] object represents a plot based on the fitted model of a Weibull++ or ALTA data set. Use the [[WAPlots.AddDataset|AddDataset]] method to assign the data set (in this case, a WeibullDataSet object) to the plot.
| |
|
| |
| {{APIComment|'Declare a new WAPlots object.}}
| |
| {{APIPrefix|Dim}} WPlot {{APIPrefix|As New}} WAPlots
| |
|
| |
| {{APIComment|'Add the analyzed data set to the plot.}}
| |
| WPlot.AddDataset(WDS)
| |
|
| |
| Use the [[WAPlots.CreatePlot|CreatePlot]] method to create a plot. The type of plot it creates is specified by the [[WAPlotType Enumeration|WAPlotType]] enumeration, which includes a variety of plots (e.g., reliability, pdf, contour, failure rate plots, etc.). This example creates a probability plot.
| |
|
| |
| To display the plot, assign it to the <code>Image</code> property of the PictureBox. The <code>SizeMode</code> property is optional; it resizes the PictureBox to fit the image.
| |
|
| |
| {{APIComment|'Create a probability plot and display it in the PictureBox.}}
| |
| PictureBox1.Image = WPlot.CreatePlot(WAPlotType.Probability)
| |
| PictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.AutoSize
