unit_y

Read access to the unit of a data object's Y component. Read/write access to the unit of the Y component of the current formula or FlexPro data.

Syntax

DataObject.unit_y

or

Data.unit_y

or

this.unit_y = Unit

or

Data.unit_y = Unit

The syntax of the unit_y property consists of the following elements:

Element

Description

DataObject

The data object being accessed. Use this to access the current formula.

Data

A flexpro.Data object to which header information of the data object from which it originates is assigned.

Unit

The string to be assigned as the unit for the Y component.

Remarks

If the data set does not have an aggregate data structure, then this unit applies to the entire data set.

Write access to the header information of a data object is only permitted for the formula in which the Python code is located. Instead of using write access, you should preferably edit the attribute on the General tab of the Properties dialog box.

If the data does not have a composite data structure, the unit_y property corresponds to the unit property.

Available In

FlexPro Professional, Developer Suite

this.unit_y = "%"
