How to remove graph image

mmarchandTSI — Fri, 09 Jun 2023 16:10:00 GMT

In some cases, it's helpful to plot data over an image, or, more specifically, plot XY locations over an image and enable a graphlet of the pertinent data. We can quickly associate the gathered data with visible aspects of our samples. Adding an image to the graph is easy

frame << Add Image( image( img ), bounds( top( 600 ), left( 0 ), bottom( 0 ), right( 1200 ) ) )

and I do it a lot. I am yet to find a way to remove or replace the image with another, say, through a filter change handler. My current solution is to set up a window with my sample names. When a sample is selected, the graph display window closes and is relaunched using the image associated with that sample. I'd love to find a way to simply

frame << Remove Image

or something similar. Not a dealbreaker, but it would improve the experience and simplify the script. I'm on JMP 17.1.0. Thanks!

This seemed to work ... there might be a more elegant way:

cr = current report();
fb = cr[FrameBox(1)];
seg = fb << FindSeg( PictSeg( 1 ) );
seg << remove;

Interactively you can remove the image and the tool tip says it removes the PictSeg; so this code was inspired by the scripting index description of PictSeg.

Manually, you could remove the image via the right click menu: Image/Remove

I had overlooked this. Interesting that the log doesn't capture anything when you remove the image this way.

Thanks! This will make the script less jarring to use. I'll have to remember to use the tooltips to my advantage.

The log is amazingly useful to learn JSL. But you cannot learn everything from the log:
The log provides a script to get B.

It doesn't capture how get get from A to B.

e.g.

You can learn from the log how to generate a graph with a picture in the background - or a graph without such a picture:
just close the graph and the advanced log will show you a JSL script to generate the latest version.
No intermediate changes to the graph are captured. So, it's not possible to learn how a picture is removed.

There are many more steps which are not captured:

But there is no strict rule - Select matching Cells and Select Where are captured, Select all rows is not captured.
