I would like to set up a custom graphics script so each graph gets a unique line based on information contained in an associative array. In the example below, I want to have a graph on the line differently for each category... for my actual use, I will need the graph to 'recognize' the heading it's under so I can use the correct values for the line creation.
For the example image below, I manually updated the "F" graphics script to be "F". So I am looking to find syntax to "gather the graph info" ... in my head, if I can grab the outline box title, I can manipulate that to get what I need... but I am not sure if that is the only/best option.
Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA\Big Class.jmp" );
dt << Bivariate(
Y( :height ),
X( :weight ),
By( :sex ),
SendToReport(
Dispatch(
{},
"1",
ScaleBox,
{Format( "Fixed Dec", 12, 0 ), Min( 30 ), Max( 180 ), Inc( 20 ),
Minor Ticks( 1 )}
),
Dispatch(
{},
"Bivar Plot",
FrameBox,
{Add Graphics Script(
2,
Description( "" ),
test = Associative Array( {{"F", {0.1, 50}}, {"M", {.8, 0}}} );
///gather graph info to get "F" or "M" from output
graphInfo = "M";// need to extract so it's "F" for female graph
Y Function( test[graphInfo][1] * x + test[graphInfo][2], x );
), Grid Line Order( 1 ), Reference Line Order( 3 )
}
)
)
);
Here are the modifications to your script that will update the titles
Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA\Big Class.jmp" );
biv = dt << Bivariate(
Y( :height ),
X( :weight ),
By( :sex ),
SendToReport(
Dispatch(
{},
"1",
ScaleBox,
{Format( "Fixed Dec", 12, 0 ), Min( 30 ), Max( 180 ), Inc( 20 ),
Minor Ticks( 1 )}
),
Dispatch(
{},
"Bivar Plot",
FrameBox,
{Add Graphics Script(
2,
Description( "" ),
test = Associative Array( {{"F", {0.1, 50}}, {"M", {.8, 0}}} );
///gather graph info to get "F" or "M" from output
graphInfo = "M";// need to extract so it's "F" for female graph
Y Function( test[graphInfo][1] * x + test[graphInfo][2], x );
), Grid Line Order( 1 ), Reference Line Order( 3 )}
)
)
);
For( i = 1, i <= N Items( biv ), i++,
Report( biv[i] )[Outline Box( 1 )] << set title(
Substr(
Report( biv[i] )[Outline Box( 1 )] << get title,
Contains( Report( biv[i] )[Outline Box( 1 )] << get title, "=" ) + 1
)
)
);That's fascinating that you can start i at 0 and it just 'magically' iterates like that... I got the errors pasted below, but seems to have at least worked some. I created a show(i) command just before creating the graphInfo variable.
It seems to have worked great for the two graphs, but for some reason it also iterated two more times resulting in an inability to locate biv[i] ... so I wrapped that part in a Try() and it seemed to work as necessary!
1) I am not sure why "i" iterates like that or when I could potentially utilize that for other functions in jsl
2) I am not sure why it seems to iterate two more times ... one per graph, one per graphics script??
3) Thank you so much for the help here... I may not understand the how/why it works yet, but if I can get it to work consistently, that's the win!
