Accessing graph properties in ArcPy?

Question

I am using data driven pages and arcpy.Graph() object to automate production of synchronised map/long-section series similar to this:

enter image description here

I'd like to keep vertical scale for long-section part. In order to do so I have to insert a couple of dummy points at the end of profile, because I cannot access these graph's properties via arcpy:

Does anyone know how to change min/max values for axis using script?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, when generating a graph based on addSeriesLineHorizontal you don't get access to the min and max as you do with addSeriesBarMinMax for instance. arcpy.Graph() doesn't provide that fine-grained access to the graph properties.

You could either access ArcObjects from Python to complement your workflow, or turn to a more powerful matplotlib that is delivered with standard ArcGIS for Desktop installation.
