Resumen

Line charts allow you to visualize change over a continuous range, such as time or distance. Visualizing change with a line chart allows for the overall trend to be displayed at once, and for multiple trends to be compared simultaneously.

When creating a chart object, optional arguments for the class constructor must be specified using the argument name; they cannot be specified by argument position. See the Code Samples section for an example of how to specify arguments using keywords.

Sintaxis

Line (x, {y}, {splitCategory}, {multiSeriesDisplay}, {miniChartsPerRow}, {showPreviewChart}, {aggregation}, {timeIntervalUnits}, {timeIntervalSize}, {timeAggregationType}, {trimIncompleteTimeInterval}, {nullPolicy}, {rotated}, {title}, {description}, {xTitle}, {yTitle}, {dataSource}, {displaySize})
ParámetroExplicaciónTipo de datos
x

The field name for the x-axis variable. The field must be a numeric or date field.

String
y

The field name or names for the y-axis variables. The value must be a numeric field or a list of numeric fields.

String
splitCategory

A categorical field that adds a separate series or line for each unique value in the field.

  • singleChart—All series are displayed in a single chart.
  • grid—The series are displayed as a grid of miniplots.
String
miniChartsPerRow

The number of minicharts that will be shown per row. The number of rows will be determined by the total number of series divided by the miniChartsPerRow value.

Integer
showPreviewChart

Specifies whether the preview chart will be displayed for grid charts.

  • True—The preview chart will be displayed.
  • False—The preview chart will not be displayed.

(El valor predeterminado es False)

  • <None>—Each value is plotted on the chart regardless of overlap or recurring values.
  • COUNT—The total number of records is identified and applied.
  • SUM—The sum of all values is calculated and applied.

Descripción general del método

MétodoExplicación
addToLayer (layer_or_layerfile)

Adds the chart object to a layer or stand-alone table.

exportToSVG (path, width, height)

Exports the chart to SVG format.

updateChart ()

Updates chart properties to sync changes between the object and the chart previously added to a layer.

Métodos

addToLayer (layer_or_layerfile)
ParámetroExplicaciónTipo de datos
layer_or_layerfile

The chart will be added to the target object. The layer_or_layerfile argument can be a Layer or a Table object.

Object

Often the final step after defining chart properties is to add the chart object to a layer or table using the addToLayer method.

Add a chart to an existing layer.

import arcpy

aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("current")
map = aprx.listMaps()[0]
censusLayer = map.listLayers('Census Block Groups')[0]

# Add chart object to a layer
chart.addToLayer(censusLayer)
exportToSVG (path, width, height)
ParámetroExplicaciónTipo de datos
path

The path where the chart will be exported in SVG format.

String
width

The width of the output graphic.

Integer
height

The height of the output graphic.

Integer

In some cases, you may want to save the chart as a graphic that can be shared and viewed outside of ArcGIS Pro. Exporting to the SVG graphic format is beneficial, as the chart elements and text are stored as vector elements that can be independently modified in a vector graphics software. An SVG graphic can also be resized to any scale without pixelation or loss in quality.

Export a chart that has a project layer data source to an .svg file.

import arcpy

aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('current')
censusLayer = aprx.listMaps()[0].listLayers('Census Block Groups')[0]

# Set data source of chart object to a layer within current project
chart.dataSource = censusLayer

# Save the chart to file with dimensions width=500, height=500
chart.exportToSVG('populationByState.svg', 500, 500)

Export a chart that has a feature service data source to an .svg file.


featureServiceURL = r'https://services1.arcgis.com/hLJbHVT9ZrDIzK0I/arcgis/rest/services/CrimesChiTheft/FeatureServer/0'

# Set data source of chart object to a feature service URL
chart.dataSource = featureServiceURL

# Save the chart to file with dimensions width=800, height=600
chart.exportToSVG('theftsPerBeat.svg', 800, 600)
updateChart ()

Often the final step after defining chart properties is to add the chart object to a layer using the addToLayer method.

To further modify the chart properties, you can modify the properties of the original chart instead of starting from scratch with a new chart. You can then use the updateChart method to synchronize any changes into the chart that was added to the layer. This will allow the changes you make to be presented in the Chart properties pane and chart view.

Use the updateChart method to synchronize chart property changes into a layer.


chart.addToLayer(myLayer)

# Further modification is necessary
chart.description = "Data from the U.S. Census Bureau"
chart.updateChart()

Create a line chart and add it to a layer in the current project.

import arcpy

lyr = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("current").listMaps()[0].listLayers()[0]
chart = arcpy.charts.Line(x="date", y="aqi", aggregation="mean")
chart.addToLayer(lyr)
