Project multiple different axis settings in graph builder to different pages

nter — Sun, 11 Jun 2023 11:17:58 GMT

One of the nice features of the page field is the ability to export a PDF or PPT with many pages, but I'm having trouble customizing the axes on the second and subsequent pages.

Starting with the consumer preferences data set, I can make a graph like this with customized y axis labels. For example I customized "years at current employer" to read "Years Exp"

Then if i add "age group" in the page field

You'll notice that the custom axes are not kept for the later pages.

If I try copying axes properties and broadcasting with ctrl+paste axes properties, it broadcasts properties from a single y axis to all graphs and y axes, which causes a problem because "years exp" has a different range than "is parent"

Is there a good way in graph builder or JSL to broadcast the customized axes properties when dealing with multiple stacked y axes, for example?

nter,

I apologize in advance that I do not have a solution to your question but it is now April 26, 2023 and I am also seeking a response to this very question. If you have found a solution to this please let me know. BTW, I am using JMP 17 Pro v17.0.0. Perhaps this response to your question will prompt an answer from the community or JMP tech support.

Thank you

Floyd

This script illustrates one approach:

Names Default to Here( 1 );

// open example
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Consumer Preferences.jmp" );

// launch graph builder with multiple pages
gb = dt << Graph Builder(
	Size( 528, 3450 ),
	Show Control Panel( 0 ),
	Variables( X( :Gender ), Y( :Years at Current Employer ), Page( :Age Group ) ),
	Elements( Box Plot( X, Y, Legend( 4 ) ) )
);

// access report layer
rpt = gb << Report;

// find all text edit boxes
axis = rpt << XPath( "//TextEditBox" );
n = N Items( axis );

// change text in all text edit boxes of vertical axes
axis[4::n::2] << Set Text( "Years Exp" );
