How can I decide in what part of the screen my visualizations appear when creating them with a script

[Francesco Guagliardo]

I have made a script that at the press of a button deletes one vis and shows another in its stance

To do that I use:

page.Visuals.Remove(vis1_name)

visual=page.Visuals.AddNew(VisualTypeIdentifiers.BarChart)

When creating the viz, spotfire decides to always put at the bottom of the page but I would like it somewhere specific, like for example after another visualisation.

How can I controll where in the page the visualisation pops up when I use the AddNew function

Thanks,

Frank

The following article has a sample script to set the layout of visualizations in a page

Thanks, that almost does it. But do you know if there is a way to get the current layout and then cahgne only one bit of it I can't make the layout from scratch everytime the page has got a lot of vis.

seems like it is not possible to get the current layout of the page.  I would suggest you to file an enhancement request for that feature in the Ideas portal linked above: http://ideas.tibco.com/
