QuantityType object

The QuantityType object is used to store attributes defining the physical dimension and label of the quantity type to be associated with an XYData or an AxisData object.

QuantityType objects are automatically created when creating XYData objects from the odb.

QuantityType objects can be created using the methods described below.

The following topics are discussed:
