JSL "getpicture" command is cropping graph?

I'm trying to write a script that saves graphs as images, however the saved image is always a truncated version of the graph instead of the entire graph. Here's example images and the script that generated them (notice the X axis is cut off, as is the legend on the far right:)

dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA\Big Class.jmp" );
Ycols = {"height", "weight"};
For( iMetric = 1, iMetric<= 2, iMetric+=1,
	metric = Ycols[iMetric];
	thisgraph = dt << Graph Builder(
		Automatic Recalc(0),
		Variables( X (:age), Y (Eval(metric)));
	);
	image = Report( thisgraph) << getpicture;
	image << saveimage ("test_" || metric || ".png")
);

How can I save the whole graph without it getting truncated?

I could not replicate the issue in JMP 15, on Windows 10. What version are you using?

You may want to try just copying the Picture Box(), not the whole report

image = Report( thisgraph)[PictureBox(1)] << getpicture;

I'm using JMP Pro 14.3.0. When I change the command to "image = Report( thisgraph)[PictureBox(1)] << getpicture;" the images still look identical to those I pasted above.

I reran your original script on JMP 14.2 and I still was not able to replicate your issue. I suggest you contact JMP Support

Update: when I undock my laptop from my docking station and re-run the script, the images look good. But when I dock the laptop back into the docking station and run the script, the images are truncated.

Maybe it's some kind of bug with having different screen resolutions on different monitors?

Hopefully the issue has been fixed in JMP 15
