How to Journal platforms in a new window?

AD1 — Tue, 24 Mar 2020 15:16:34 GMT

Hi,

I have a simple question that I cannot figure out.

I have created a simple UI with different ui elements and contain

various platforms (distributions, etc.). I know that to make these static,

I need to journal them. All plots are embedded in the new window

within different outline, V Line and H line boxes and use different

filters from the same data table. The new window resides in a

jsl script file and I make it executable with "//!". So there is no report

or journal in the beginning.

Rough code structure :

nw = New Window(
V Line Box(),
H Line Box();
Outline Box();

// Has an attached function that creates a plot inside the above outline box.
Button Box();
);

I want to know how can I journal them without moving them out in a new window?

I would like to keep the plot where it is and make it static but I want the rest of the

window that contains buttons and combo boxes etc. to stay responsive.

Thanks for your inputs and possible solutions!

Here is a simple example of replacing an active plot with a static picture of the plot, without changing anything else in the window

names default to here(1);
dt=open("$SAMPLE_DATA/big class.jmp");

// Create a Display Window with a button box
nw=New window("Example",
	V List Box(
		Button Box("Push Me",
			dt << Bivariate(x(:weight), y(:Height))
		),
		bb=border box(top(10,bottom(10),left(10),right(10),sides(15)))
	)
);

// Add in a Platform Display
bb << append( ow=dt<<Oneway(
	Y( :height ),
	X( :age ),
	Means and Std Dev( 1 ),
	Box Plots( 1 ),
	Mean Error Bars( 1 ),
	Std Dev Lines( 1 )
));

// Add in a new copy of the graph, but as a static picture
report(ow)[OutlineBox(1)]<<
prepend((report(ow)[PictureBox(1)])<<get picture);

// Delete the old active graph
report(ow)[PictureBox(1)]<<delete;
