Annotate Graphs Automatically

SpannerHead — Tue, 11 Mar 2025 14:06:03 GMT

I have a string stored in the Notes for a series of columns in a table and I have assigned this to the object "Notes". When I plot these columns in a variability chart, I would like the Notes to show up automatically as an annotation. My initial thought was to somehow include the annotation in the original plot but I'm thinking I should create the plots and annotate afterwards. Any clue how to do this, the code below doesn't work?

spud = Variability Chart( );


spud << Add Text Annotation(
				Text( "Category: " || Notes ),
				Fixed Size( 0 ),
				Text Box( {1, -30, 382, 184} ),
				Filled( 0 )
			);

Might depend on a bit where you wish to add the annotation to

Names Default To Here(1);
dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Variability Data/2 Factors Crossed.jmp");
obj = dt << Variability Chart(Y(:Measurement), X(:Operator, :part#));
report(obj) << Add Text Annotation(
	Text("We need to discuss this at the next meeting."),
	Text Box({65, 35, 200, 77})
);

This works well but it needs predefined inputs. I'm after something that allows inputs to be selected and then annotates those.

I make a facsimile of the Variability Plot Interface and Annotate from there. Will probably need refinement but seems to work.
