static int graph::draw(ItemRef frame, char* graph_path)
Replace the contents of a frame with a graph. The graph is defined in a XML file. If the representation contains support points, these must be manually deleted prior to the new creation of the graph. The folllowing working method is suggested :
- Select frame
- Reverse grouping
- Select all frames made available
- Remove the frames with the graphs from the selection
- Delete frames
A detailed example of a graph.xml can be found here. The screenshot shows the graph generated with this definition.
The function has only been implemented as a test fort now.

Create up the a new frame and draw a graph in it. The description of the graph can be found here.
#include "internal/types.h"
int main () { ItemRef frame = item::alloc (); int result;
result = frame::create ( frame, kRectangle, 100.0, 210.0, 300.0, 400.0, 1); // page if (result) { showmessage ("Create Frame : %s", serror (result)); item::release (frame); return 0; }
result = graph::draw (frame, "$DESKTOP/graph1.xml"); if (result) { showmessage ("Draw Graph: %s", serror (result)); item::release (frame); return 0; }
item::release (frame); return 0; }
