Hi @lancewu! I think it would help us to know what you're trying to accomplish. Why don't you want to use the pre-defined output chart?

I'm writing a script that can automatically generate bar charts or another chart。 I know that there are some scripts that can be automatically generated dashboard or globaltable，I want to know if have code can be automatically generate chart。

Here's a start:

Object dashview=views().find("active>Documents/Dashboard/1+/~");
Object chartview=views().find("viewslibrary/Dashboard/Output/ThroughputBar");
Object chart=function_s(dashview,"createGraphWindow",chartview,1);
Group group = getvarnode(chart,"replacements").subnodes["Objects"].value;
group.addMember(Model.find("Processor1"));
Object webgraph=dashview.find("GraphPanel").last;
webgraph.location=Vec3(200,200,0);
webgraph.size=Vec3(400,200,0);
refreshview(webgraph);
