Coloring boxplot graph in graph builder

I am working on building several graphs for a report and need to color the boxplot boxes inside and also need to outline the boxes. I know I can do each one individualy but would like to be able to color all at once. I have attached a jrp for your review. Once I get this I would like to script this graph and coloring to use on other graphs.

In Graph Builder, you can specify your GasYield as your Y variable, select the plot to be Box Plot, Overlay variable is your Date variable, and then right click on the graph and select your Box Plot, Box Style as solid.  You get everything you want except an outline

Re: Coloring boxplot graph in graph builder

In my humble opinion, a thin black line around the filled box plots from graph builder looks real nice. So, I right click on the blank graph space, and choose "Customize" from pop up menu, pick the box plot item and change the line color to black.  

 

The broadcast feature doesn't work here, so you'll have to do each group individually unless you want to get scripty.

Re: Coloring boxplot graph in graph builder

I would like to have a script because I several graphs that would need to be changed.

To create such a script.....interactively make all of the changes you want.  Even go into the Customize and set the values there.  Then simply go to the red triangle in the main window for Graph Builder, and select

     Save Script==>Save to Script Window

and it will product the script for you.  In the script, you will see what components you may need to change to generisize the script, and from there you can build your script around that.

Re: Coloring boxplot graph in graph builder

This is really helpful. My only point/question is, is that you can't use an overlay but also have an x-axis and still have it look nice (if you apply both, it squishes the boxes drastically). Or is there a way to fix this?

Thanks in advance!
