How to draw a graph with only one column of data? Is it possible to avoid adding auxiliary columns?

[#1]

Hello everyone!

I used the following script and added helper columns to plot only one column of data.

Is there a better way? Can we avoid adding helper columns? Thanks!

dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
dt << delete columns( 1 :: N Col( dt ) - 1 );
New Column( "no" );
Column( "no" ) << Formula( Row() );
dt << run formulas;
Column( "no" ) << deleteFormula;



Graph Builder(
	Size( 534, 454 ),
	Show Control Panel( 0 ),
	Variables( X( :no ), Y( :weight ) ),
	Elements( Line( X, Y, Legend( 8 ) ) )
);

Depends what you mean with a better way? If this is a common thing you do, you could create an addin/add script to jmps menus/toolbar which you could ran to do this. To create column you could use something like this (and if you want to create the graph builder always when script is ran, it can also be easily added):

Names Default To Here(1);

Local({dt},
	dt = Current Data Table();
	If(N Cols(dt) == 1,
		dt << New Column("no", Numeric, Ordinal, << Set Each Value(Row()))
	);
);

You can also add the column directly from New Columns:

Or create temporary column when using graph builder:

This column can be added to Data table if needed:

Understand, still need to add auxiliary columns.

thanks for your help!

In some visualizations you might be able to manage with enabling Row Order option

I imitate,

With only one column, you cannot get such a graph

 You can create a run chart.  You'll find it here:
