Easy way to broadcast x-axis settings in Run Chart

MathStatChem — Mon, 25 Aug 2025 13:57:27 GMT

Under Analyze>Quality and Process>Control Charts>Run Chart, if you make run chart plots of multiple Y variables, it does not appear that you can broadcast x-axis settings for all the charts. Rather frustrating. Any workarounds for this?

Seems like Run Charts doesn't really let you do anything which you can do normally with JMP platforms with axis and it does say "Edit mode is disabled for graphs created from data views" when you hover over x-axis... so you might have to rely on scripting.

Yes, JSL seems to be only option, which is disappointing. I created a wishlist item for this https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Wish-List/Allow-right-click-actions-and-broadcasting-of-Run-Chart/idi-p/896865#M7631

If you don't mind messing up your clipboard it can be luckily quite simple to script (if axisbox behave always like this)

Names Default To Here(1); 

dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp");
dt << New Formula Column(
	Operation(Category("Combine"), "Product"),
	Columns(:height, :weight)
);

ccb = dt << Control Chart Builder(
	Show Two Shewhart Charts(0),
	Show Limit Summaries(0),
	Variables(Y(:height, :weight, "height*weight"n)),
	Chart(
		Points(Statistic("Individual")),
		Limits(Sigma("Moving Range"), Show Lower Limit(0), Show Upper Limit(0))
	),
	Show Control Panel(0)
);
Report(ccb)[AxisBox(1)] << Max(60); // demo purposes


Report(ccb)[AxisBox(1)] << Copy Axis Settings;

abs = (Report(ccb) << XPath("//AxisBox"));
xabs = abs[3::N Items(abs)::2];
xabs << Paste Axis Settings;

Or I think you can use << Copy Script and then send that list of settings

ascript = Report(ccb)[AxisBox(1)] << Get Script;
abs = (Report(ccb) << XPath("//AxisBox"));
xabs = abs[3::N Items(abs)::2];
Eval(EvalExpr(
	Send(xabs, Expr(ascript))
));
