Graph Builder - Change the Drawing Order when using a Group Y variable

[#1]

Hello everybody,

I would like to know how we can uniformize the customization of graphical elements when we use a Grouping column.

Let's take an exemple using the Big Class.jmp table.

I choose "height" as Y variable and "age" as Group Y variable. I display the histogram in addition to the points.

After that, I change the order of elements using the Customize menu so that points are now over histogram.

The modification only impacts the first graph however I would like to have the same think for all the levels of "age" without redoing six times the same action. I tried to copy  paste Cuztomisations but it didn't work.

Any idea of how we could do that ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Unfortunately, I don't see any way to affect that for all the groups at the same time.

I'll make a note and we'll see if we can address this in a future release.

When using GraphBuider (GB), either from the user interface (UI) or using JSL (scripting), order matters.

• Open Big Class.jmp
• Start GraphBuilder
• Drag height to the Y axis and age to the Group X area
• Right click on any frame and select Points > Change To > Histograms
• Right click again, select Add > Points

Now Points are last specified GB element and are  on top.  If you save the script, note the elements order

Graph Builder(
	Size( 528, 454 ),
	Show Control Panel( 0 ),
	Variables( Y( :height ), Group X( :age ) ),
	Elements( Histogram( Y, Legend( 4 ) ), Points( Y, Legend( 5 ) ) )
)

Changing order for all Frame Box would be a nice future option, but until then, keep the elements order in mind when using GB.

Thanks both of you for your answer.

Indeed it would be a great feature for a future release! :)
