Error while running example - Save Picture ()

I am on 16.2.0 (Windows 10).

While running the Save Picture (example) in the Scripting Index, I am getting the attached error. What is going wrong?

//:*/
<< Save Picture( "path/to/example.png", "png" );
/*:


//:*/
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
/*:

Data Table( "Big Class" )
//:*/
Names Default To Here( 1 );
//This message applies to all display box objects
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
biv = dt << Bivariate( y( :weight ), x( :height ) );
rbiv = biv << report;
rbiv << Save Picture( "path/to/example.png", "png" );
/*:

File \path\to\example.png could not be saved in access or evaluation of 'Glue' , Names Default To Here( 1 ); /*###*/dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" ); /*###*/
biv = dt << Bivariate( y( :weight ), x( :height ) ); /*###*/rbiv = biv << report; /*###*/
rbiv << Save Picture( "path/to/example.png", "png" ) /*###*/;

at line 3 in Scripting Index

 

When it's too good to be true, it's neither

Re: Error while running example - Save Picture ()

try something like

rbiv << Save Picture( "$DESKTOP/example.png", "png" );

to put the picture on the desktop. Or $DOCUMENTS , $TEMP , $DOWNLOADS for other interesting places.

Re: Error while running example - Save Picture ()

The line

rbiv << Save Picture( "path/to/example.png", "png" );

contains an invalid path.  It is assuming the viewer will change 

path/to/

to a valid path on the users computer.

I suggest you pass this to JMP Support.   There should at least be a comment indicating the line needs to be changed.
