Profile Graph using arcpy.charts module?

Question

Hi,

I am trying to python script the creation of an elevation profile graph like the one here, but I don't see that type of chart as an option here.

Is there a good reason why the developers haven't included "Profile Graph" as a programmable type? Is there a known workaround?

Thanks!,

Brian

Hi All

Bring this up again.

See here:  https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/analysis/3d-analyst/interactively-create-a-profile-graph-with-digitized-lines-on-a-surface.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_9F698A40CD974AAC8CDC672FB2940104

I can create this with one click in Pro after I run line of sight.

I cannot find a way to do it in arcpy.

Thanks

Can't you use a line graph?

From your second link regarding the Chart class.... It is recommended that you use the subclasses in the arcpy.charts module instead.
