40.27.1 extractData(...)

This method creates a temporary XYData object, with increments on the x-axis and requested output on the y-axis.

Required argument

incrementStatistics

An enum specifying the requested output variable for the data table. Possible enum values are NUM_ATTEMPTS (the number of attempts), NUM_SDI (the number of severe discontinuity iterations), NUM_EQI (the number of equivalent iterations), NUM_ITERS (the number of iterations), STEP_TIME (the cumulative step time until that increment) or INC_SIZE (the step time for each increment).

Optional arguments

None.

Return value

None

Exceptions

None.
