Multiline label for reference line?

miguello — Sun, 11 Jun 2023 11:04:50 GMT

Is there any way to have a two-line label for a reference line? My lable has to be long and it eats up a lot of valuable screen space. Would be ideal if I could break it into two lines. Any way to achieve that?

I don't believe there is a direct way to do it. I was hoping that by embedding \!n, the standard new line sequence that it would break the line, but it does not recognize it

You could draw the reference line without any label, and then use the << Add Graphics Script to add the info

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

ow = Oneway(
	Y( :height ),
	X( :sex ),
	SendToReport(
		Dispatch( {}, "1", ScaleBox, {Add Ref Line( 65, "Solid", "Black", "", 1 )} )
	)
);

report(ow)[framebox(1)] << add graphics script(
	Text( Center Justified, {2, 65}, "Two" );
				Text( Center Justified, {2, 64}, "Lines" );
);

Yeah, looks like this is the easiest workaround. Thanks!
