Send label position "opposite" to certain reference lines in an axis box using JSL

Howdy,

On JMP Pro 17.2.0, I am using << Add Ref Line commands in a For loop and would like the first 3 ref line labels to display on the opposite axis. I have tried notations such as,

rpVarPlots1[i][AxisBox( 1 )] << Add Ref line( rUCL[i], "Solid", "Purple", "UCL=" || Char( rUCL[i] ), 1, Label Position("Opposite) );

rpVarPlots1[i][AxisBox( 1 )] << Add Ref line( rUCL[i], "Solid", "Purple", "UCL=" || Char( rUCL[i] ), 1, Label Settings( {Opposite Axis( 1 )} ) );

but nothing I have tried works and results in errors such as "Name unresolved: Label Position in access or evaluation of 'label position'..." .

Is there a way to achieve this? Example of my code and what I want to do below.

For( i = 1, i <= z, i++, 

	Eval(Expr(
		rpVarPlots1[i][AxisBox( 1 )] << Add Ref line( rUCL[i], "Solid", "Purple", "UCL=" || Char( rUCL[i] ), 1 );
		rpVarPlots1[i][AxisBox( 1 )] << Add Ref line( rCL[i], "Solid", "Black", "CL=" || Char( rCL[i] ), 1 );
		rpVarPlots1[i][AxisBox( 1 )] << Add Ref line( rLCL[i], "Solid", "Purple", "LCL=" || Char( rLCL[i] ), 1 );
		rpVarPlots1[i][AxisBox( 1 )] << Add Ref line( center[i], "Solid", "Green", "pCL=" || Char( Round( center[i], 2 ) ), 2 );
		rpVarPlots1[i][AxisBox( 1 )] << Add Ref line( center[i] - sigma[i], "Dashed", "Blue", "-1Sig=" || Char( Round( center[i] - sigma[i], 2 ) ), 1 );
		rpVarPlots1[i][AxisBox( 1 )] << Add Ref line( center[i] + sigma[i], "Dashed", "Blue", "+1Sig=" || Char( Round( center[i] + sigma[i], 2 ) ), 1 );
		rpVarPlots1[i][AxisBox( 1 )] << Add Ref line( center[i] - 3*sigma[i], "Solid", "Red", "pLCL=" || Char( Round( center[i] - 3*sigma[i], 2 ) ), 2 );
		rpVarPlots1[i][AxisBox( 1 )] << Add Ref line( center[i] + 3*sigma[i], "Solid", "Red", "pUCL=" || Char( Round( center[i] + 3*sigma[i], 2 ) ), 2 );
		rpVarPlots1[i][AxisBox( 1 )] << Add Ref line( center[i] - 4*sigma[i], "Dotted", "Dark Gray", "pLDL=" || Char( Round( center[i] - 4*sigma[i], 2 ) ), 1 );
		rpVarPlots1[i][AxisBox( 1 )] << Add Ref line( center[i] + 4*sigma[i], "Dotted", "Dark Gray", "pUDL=" || Char( Round( center[i] + 4*sigma[i], 2 ) ), 1 );
)));

You might have to add one extra parameter when using Label Settings (second 1 in my example and it is for transparency). This does work for me but I'm using JMP18.

Names Default To Here(1); 

dt = open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp");

gb = dt << Graph Builder(
	Variables(X(:weight), Y(:height), Overlay(:sex)),
	Elements(Points(X, Y, Legend(9)), Line Of Fit(X, Y, Legend(11)))
);

ab = Report(gb)[AxisBox(2)];

For(i = 1, i <= 3, i++,
	ab << Add Ref Line(
		50 + i * 5,
		"Solid",
		"Black",
		"my label",
		1,
		1,
		Label Settings({Label Position("Outside"), Opposite Axis(1)})
	)
);

Thanks Jarmo,

You are correct. My script wasn't working because I did not have the <transparency> value in the command, (facepalm). Once I added that, it works as expected.

Thanks for the help!
