Control Graph Label Value Decimal Output in JSL Script

aandw — Tue, 28 Apr 2015 13:24:18 GMT

I would like to control the decimal output for graph labels within JSL script.

I need to set the number of decimal places displayed explicitly, as opposed to graph builder default.

For Example: Increase decimal from 3 to 5.

I have been unable to locate this control within Garph Builder Axis Settings or JMP Preferences.

I assume the control command occurs within or just after the Label( "Value" ) command.

Using DiamondData sample dataset.

// Sample dataset DiamondsData

// Review Directory

dt = Open("C:\Desktop\DiamondsData.jmp");

// Create Average of Carat by Cut

new column("cut_carat_agv",

numeric,

continuous,

formula( Col Mean( :Carat Size, :Cut))

);

//Graph hBar of Average Carat Size by Cut with Bar Label "Value"

Graph Builder(

Show Control Panel( 0 ),

Variables( X( :cut_carat_agv ), Y( :Cut ) ),

Elements(

Bar(

Legend( 2 ),

Bar Style( "Side by side" ),

Summary Statistic( "Mean" ),

// Assume Decimal control for Label occurs here

Label( "Value" )

)

SendToReport(

Dispatch(

{},

"graph title",

TextEditBox,

{Set Text( "Average Carat Size by Cut" )}

Dispatch( {}, "X title", TextEditBox, {Set Text( "Average Carat Size" )} )

)

);

If you double-click on the X axis, the format is shown at the top. In this example I changed Dec from 1 to 3. When you click on the graph builder little red triangle and copy the script this is what you get:

Graph Builder(

Show Control Panel( 0 ),

Variables( X( :cut_carat_agv ), Y( :Cut ) ),

Elements(

Bar(

Legend( 2 ),

Bar Style( "Side by side" ),

Summary Statistic( "Mean" ),

Label( "Value" )

)

SendToReport(

Dispatch( {}, "cut_carat_agv", ScaleBox, {Format( "Fixed Dec", 10, 3 )} ), // Here's the format

Dispatch(

{},

"graph title",

TextEditBox,

{Set Text( "Average Carat Size by Cut" )}

Dispatch( {}, "X title", TextEditBox, {Set Text( "Average Carat Size" )} )

)

);

// The command appears to control the x-axis label.

// Apologies if I have misinterpreted.

Hmmmm not sure how to set the format of bar labels. Looked at the graph builder tree structure but there didn't seem to be a place to control that.

gb = graph builder(.....)

gb << show tree structure;
