[Paraview-developers] XY Chart Plots - changes in ParaView 4.2.0

[Panos Asproulis]

Hi all,

In ParaView 4.1.0 I use the following code in order to specify some 
information regarding the axes in a typical XY line plot (chart):

   // Specify the name of the axes
   QList<QVariant> axisTitles;
   axisTitles << "Error" << "Number of Time Steps" << "";
   pqSMAdaptor::setMultipleElementProperty(
       viewProxy->GetProperty("AxisTitle"), axisTitles);

   // Enable the logarithmic scale for the y-axis
   QList<QVariant> logScale;
   logScale << 1 << 0 << 0;
   pqSMAdaptor::setMultipleElementProperty(
       viewProxy->GetProperty("AxisLogScale"), logScale);

Although this works fine in 4.1.0 it no longer works in ParaView 4.2.0 
because the properties "AxisTitle" and "AxisLogScale" no longer exist. 
They have been replaced by "LeftAxisTitle", "BottomAxisTitle" etc and 
"LeftAxisLogScale", "BottomAxisLogScale" etc. So, I changed the above 
code to the following:

   // Set the name of the left axis
   QList<QVariant> leftAxisTitle;
   leftAxisTitle << "Error";
   pqSMAdaptor::setElementProperty(
       viewProxy->GetProperty("LeftAxisTitle"), leftAxisTitle);

   // Set the name of the bottom axis
   QList<QVariant> bottomAxisTitle;
   bottomAxisTitle << "Number of Time Steps";
   pqSMAdaptor::setElementProperty(
       viewProxy->GetProperty("BottomAxisTitle"), bottomAxisTitle);

   // Enable the logarithmic scalefor the left axis
   QList<QVariant> onLogScale, offLogScale;
   onLogScale  << 1;
   offLogScale << 0;
   pqSMAdaptor::setElementProperty(
       viewProxy->GetProperty("LeftAxisLogScale"), onLogScale);
   pqSMAdaptor::setElementProperty(
       viewProxy->GetProperty("BottomAxisLogScale"), offLogScale);

However, this has no effect. It does not change the title of the axes 
and it does not switch on the logarithmic scale for the left axis. Could 
someone let me know how to do that in 4.2.0?
