Graph Builder histogram + contour misalignment

[#1]

I have used the following code to create the following image in JMP Graph Builder.

Graph Builder(
	Size( 1106, 867 ),
	Legend Position( "Bottom" ),
	Variables(
		Y( :count_traditional ),
		Y( :count_flat_probabilistic, Position( 1 ) ),
		Y( :count_increasing_probabilistic, Position( 1 ) )
	),
	Elements(
		Histogram( Y( 1 ), Y( 2 ), Y( 3 ), Legend( 3 ) ),
		Contour( Y( 1 ), Y( 2 ), Y( 3 ), Legend( 11 ) )
	),
	SendToReport(
		Dispatch(
			{},
			"count_traditional",
			ScaleBox,
			{Min( 0 ), Max( 20.5 ), Inc( 1 ), Minor Ticks( 1 ),
			Label Row( Show Major Grid( 1 ) )}
		),
		Dispatch(
			{},
			"400",
			ScaleBox,
			{Legend Model(
				3,
				Level Name( 0, "Traditional" ),
				Level Name( 1, "Probabilistic (Flat)" ),
				Level Name( 2, "Probabilistic (Increasing)" ),
				Properties( 0, {Line Color( 3 ), Fill Color( 3 )} ),
				Properties( 1, {Line Color( 5 ), Fill Color( 5 )} ),
				Properties( 2, {Line Color( 4 ), Fill Color( 4 )} )
			), Legend Model(
				11,
				Properties( 0, {Fill Color( 67 )} ),
				Properties( 1, {Fill Color( 69 )} )
			)}
		),
		Dispatch( {}, "graph title", TextEditBox, {Set Text( "" )} ),
		Dispatch( {}, "Y title", TextEditBox, {Set Text( "Number of Visits" )} ),
		Dispatch(
			{},
			"400",
			LegendBox,
			{Legend Position( {3, [0, 1, 2], 11, [-1, -1, -1]} ),
			Position( {0, 1, 2, -1, -1, -1} )}
		)
	)
)

Question: How do I get the first and third contour to be in the middle of their respective box? 

Thanks,

Adrian

Hi Adrian,

I could not find a practical means to resolve your exact problem which seems to be a bug, but I came very close of a possible workaround:

1. Stack your 3 Y columns (I rename the Data as COUNTS)
2. In GB, use the label column as Group X
3. Drag the Data to the Y axis box and select Histogram and Violin plots
4. Drag the Label column to the Overlay box (I only use the Column 1 - 3 for this example)
5. In the Contour menu deselect Overlay

You'll get something like this:

The script for this is as follows:

Graph Builder(
	Variables( Y( :COUNTS ), Group X( :Label ), Overlay( :Label ) ),
	Elements( Histogram( Y, Legend( 5 ) ), Contour( Y, Overlay( 0 ), Legend( 6 ) ) ),
	SendToReport( Dispatch( {}, "", ScaleBox( 2 ), {Select} ) )
)

It is not perfect but it might do the trick.

Best,

Thierry

Thank you, Thierry.

Here's my figure after your Step 3: It's looking good.

Here's my figure after your Step 4: Something has gone wrong. 

I do not understand where I can deselect Overlay? I manually tried in the script but it did not change the figure copied above:

Graph Builder(
	Size( 1022, 842 ),
	Variables( Y( :Data ), Group X( :Program ), Overlay( :Program ) ),
	Elements( Histogram( Y, Legend( 4 ) ), Contour( Y, Overlay( 0 ), Legend( 5 ) ) ),
	SendToReport(
		Dispatch(
			{},
			"Data",
			ScaleBox,
			{Min( -0.5 ), Max( 20.5 ), Inc( 1 ), Minor Ticks( 1 )}
		),
		Dispatch(
			{},
			"400",
			ScaleBox,
			{Legend Model( 4, Properties( 0, {Line Color( 0 ), Fill Color( 0 )} ) ),
			Legend Model( 5, Properties( 0, {Fill Color( 1 )} ) )}
		),
		Dispatch( {}, "graph title", TextEditBox, {Set Text( "" )} ),
		Dispatch( {}, "Y title", TextEditBox, {Set Text( "Number of Visits" )} )
	)
)

Cheers,

Adrian

Hi Adrian,

Here is a screenshot of the location of the Overlay option for the Contour in GB

Thanks, Thierry! I do not see that option in my version of JMP (13.1) so I guess it's time for me to update my software.
