GetHyperCubeBinnedData(String, IEnumerable<NxPage>, NxViewPort, IEnumerable<NxDataAreaPage>, Int32, Int32, Int32)
This method supports data binning.
When a generic object with two or three measures and one dimension contains a lot of data, groups of points (for example, cells) can be rendered instead of points.
A zone of interest can be refined (for zooming in) up to a maximum refinement level (set in the qQueryLevel parameter) or coarsened (for zoom out).
The grid of cells is adaptive (not static), meaning that it adapts to different length scales.
The GetHyperCubeBinnedData method gives information about the adaptive grid and the values of the generic object.
The number of points in a cell and the coordinates (expressed in the measure range) of each cell are returned.
Dimension values and measure values are rendered at point level (highest detailed level).
Adaptive Grid
More details about the properties of the adaptive grid are given in this paragraph.
When the refinement is not the highest (cells are rendered), information about the adaptive grid is returned through several arrays.
The first array contains the following properties:
Please refer to Engine API reference for table definition.
The next arrays give the coordinates of each cell in the page.
Each array contains the following properties:
Please refer to Engine API reference for table definition.
Dimension values and measures values
More details about the properties, when dimension and measure values are returned, are given in this paragraph.
When the refinement is high, points are rendered (not cells) and dimension and measure values for each cell are returned.
The first array is empty because no information on the adaptive grid is needed.
The next arrays bring information about the dimension and the measure values.
Please refer to Engine API reference for table definition.
Declaration
IEnumerable<NxDataPage> GetHyperCubeBinnedData([QixName("qPath")] string path, [QixName("qPages")] IEnumerable<NxPage> pages, [QixName("qViewport")] NxViewPort viewport, [QixName("qDataRanges")] IEnumerable<NxDataAreaPage> dataRanges, [QixName("qMaxNbrCells")] int maxNbrCells, [QixName("qQueryLevel")] int queryLevel, [QixName("qBinningMethod")] int binningMethod)
Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| System.String | path |
Path to the definition of the object.
For example, |
| System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<NxPage> | pages |
Array of pages to retrieve.
Since the generic object contains two measures and one dimension, |
| NxViewPort | viewport |
Defines the canvas and the zoom level. This parameter is not yet used and is optional. |
| System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<NxDataAreaPage> | dataRanges |
Range of the data to render.
This range applies to the measure values.
The lowest and highest values of a measure can be retrieved by using the |
| System.Int32 | maxNbrCells |
Maximum number of cells in the grid. |
| System.Int32 | queryLevel |
Level of details. The higher the level, the more detailed information you get (zoom-in). When the number of points to render falls below a certain threshold, the values are no longer rendered as cells but as points. The query level should be no greater than 20. |
| System.Int32 | binningMethod |
Selects the algorithm. The default value is 0. One of:
|
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<NxDataPage> |
Remarks
The generic object should contain two or three measures and one dimension. When the refinement is high, the first two measures are represented on the x-axis and on the y-axis, while the third measure is visualized as color or point size.
