Creates a plot based on a fitted model in a WeibullDataSet or ALTADataSet object.

Constructors

  • WAPlots Creates a new WAPlots object.

Methods

Properties

  • ErrorHappened (as boolean) Whether an error happened during the creation of the plot.
  • ErrorMessage (as string) The error that happened during the creation of the plot. Set only if ErrorHappened is true.

Usage Example

This example demonstrates how to fit a times-to-failure data set to a life distribution and then use the fitted distribution to create a plot. Full application examples are available at Synthesis_API_Reference#Application_Examples.
