FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Can plots generated with Contour Plot for Excel be viewed on computers without Contour Plot installed?

>> Yes.

Are Office Expander downloads Digitally Signed and timestamped so that I know the files are from Office Expander?

>> Yes.

Where did it download?

>> C:\Contour_Plotting

What if I have trouble installing the software?

>> On some computers, access to the Visual Basic project will have to be set in Excel by: Tools-macro-security  -> Trusted Publishers -> Check Allow access to  Visual Basic Project. Then close Excel and reopen.

Can I run Contour Plot as a VBA macro?

>> Yes. The following is an example of code that you would put in your macro after you have installed Contour Plot. This example should be copied into the Contour_Example_Data.xls file that is included with the Contour Plot program (or available on the web). The items in blue are typical of the items that you will change for your macro.

Sub Contour_Plot_Macro()
Dim dummy_variable As String
Dim Xcells As Range, Ycells As Range, Zcells As Range
Dim levelslist As String, Rectype As String
Dim numlevels As Integer
Dim makerectangular As Boolean, table As Boolean, haslegend As Boolean, hideform As Boolean

Rectype = "SameNumYforEachX" 'or "SameNumYforEachX" or "Irregular"
makerectangular = True
table = False
haslegend = True
hideform = True

With Sheets("Example Parameter Data")
Set Xcells = .Range("A1").EntireColumn
Set Ycells = .Range("B1").EntireColumn
Set Zcells = .Range("C1").EntireColumn
End With

levelslist = "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10" 'or use a range address for contour levels
numlevels = 0

dummy_variable = Application.Run("Contour_Plotting.xla!start_contour_manual", Xcells, Ycells, Zcells, levelslist, numlevels, Rectype, makerectangular, table, haslegend, hideform)

End Sub

Is an uninstaller included?

>> Yes.

Where do I go for more information?

>> The Contour_Example_Data.xls file in C:\Contour_Plotting and the www.officeexpander.com website have information, example data, and an example contour plot.
