        int nPlotIndex = get_selected_data_plot();
        if( nPlotIndex >= 0 ) 
        {
                GraphLayer gl = Project.ActiveLayer();
                DataPlot dp = gl.DataPlots(nPlotIndex);
                
                string str;
                if( dp.GetRangeString(str) )
                        out_str(str);
        }
}

Remark

GraphLayer::DataPlots(-1) returns the index of the active data plot, but this function returns the selected data plot, the result of two functions is different.
