Design of journal

Dennisbur — Mon, 07 Aug 2023 13:56:22 GMT

Hello

I have written the script and everything runs ok, but:
1) I don't know how to do the last point to a choice Lock Journal by script?

2) I have 2 tables, how I can put the 2 tables in front of each other?

Here is an example of how to lock an outline box

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/big class.jmp" );

jr = New Window( "my jr", <<journal, ob = Outline Box( "box" ) );
ob << append( dt << new data box );
ob << lock( 1 );

Thank you very much

and I have the last question

when I use

obj_1<< Journal( );

obj_2 << Journal( );

it means 2 tables were added in a vertical position in Journal.

So if I would like to insert them into Journal in a horizontal position, how can I do it by script?

There is a complete set of functions that can be used to structure the layout of objects within a JMP journal. Below is a simple expansion of the example I previously provided, that places display objects side by side.

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/big class.jmp" );
dt2 = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/blood pressure.jmp" );


jr = New Window( "my jr", <<journal, hlb = h list box());
ob = Outline Box( "box" ) ;
ob << append( dt << new data box );
ob << lock( 1 );
hlb << append(ob);

ob = Outline Box( "box2" ) ;
ob << append( dt << new data box );
ob << lock( 1 );
hlb << append(ob);

I suggest that you take the time to read the Scripting Guide, available in the JMP Documentation Library, under the Help pull down menu.
