How to make "private" a data table created from table box

matteo_patelmo — Sat, 07 Jan 2017 21:17:37 GMT

Hello, I'd like to make "private" a data table created from a table box (from Boosted Tree / Column Contributions specifically, but the question is general). I see from the JSL documentation that the "invisible" option is available directly from the <<make into data table message , but I cannot find instructions about the "private" option.

In general, is it possibile to change the visibility of a data table into private once it's been created?

I'm using JMP 13 Pro.

thanks in advance,

Matteo

One way would be to use the << Make Data Table(invisible), and then subset that table into a Private table, then finally close the table created with the Make Data Table.

Below is a simple script that directly creates a private table, by pulling the individual parts from the table box and placing them into the new table. Since the structure of the Column Contributions table is know, this method would be easy to put together. The only change would be that you wouldn't be pointing to an object called "nw" but point to the Report() of the Boosted Tree output

Names Default To Here( 1 );
nw = New Window( "A Table Box",
	Outline Box( "Sample Table",
		Table Box(
			String Col Box( "Group", {"Group A", "Group B", "Group C"} ),
			Number Col Box( "Row Num", {1, 2, 3} ),
			Number Col Box( "Value", {54, 67, 29} )
		)
	)
);

dtPrivate = New Table( "The Table", private );
dtPrivate << New Column( (nw[String Col Box( 1 )] << get heading), character, values( nw[String Col Box( 1 )] << get ) );
dtPrivate << New Column( (nw[Number Col Box( 1 )] << get heading), values( nw[Number Col Box( 1 )] << get ) );
dtPrivate << New Column( (nw[Number Col Box( 2 )] << get heading), values( nw[Number Col Box( 2 )] << get ) );
dtPrivate << bivariate( x( :Row Num ), y( :Value ) );

Thanks! the second solution is perfect for my case! I will keep the first one in mind for other uses as well.
