How do I change point data point labels of graph builder in an automated way?

Hi all,

I need to change the data point label positions. My problem is that I need to define the new label positions (see variable LabelPosText) inside the expression statement. I know this wouldn't be necessary in the example below, but I want to spare you the effort of working through my long code, so I'm showing you a simplified example.

I am now failing to get the content of the variable LabelPosText into the Graph Builder expression part (the respective line is labeled with //here I need help ). I have tried several combinations of Eval(), Eval Expr(), etc., but nothing has worked for me.

Thanks a lot for your help!

 

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

Eval( 
	Parse(
		"dt  << New Script(\!"test script\!",
		    
//defining new label positions for some data points Rows = dt << get rows where( :Sex == \!"F\!" ); LabelPosText = \!"\!"; For Each({row, idx}, Rows, WeightValue = Column( dt, \!"weight\!")[row]; HeightValue = Column( dt, \!"height\!")[row]; LabelPosText = LabelPosText || \!"{\!"|| char(row-1) ||\!", -5, 12, \!"|| char(WeightValue) ||\!", \!"|| char(HeightValue) ||\!"}\!"; if(idx < N Items(Rows), LabelPosText = LabelPosText || \!", \!" ) ); Graph Builder( Size( 528, 456 ), Show Control Panel( 0 ), Variables( X( :weight ), Y( :height ) ), Elements( Points( X, Y, Legend( 5 ) ) ), SendToReport( Dispatch( {}, \!"Graph Builder\!", FrameBox, {DispatchSeg( Marker Seg( 1 ), {Label Offset( LabelPosText ), //here I need help ;) Set Force Labels( \!"Label by Row\!" )} )} ) ) ) )" )

Re: How do I change point data point labels of graph builder in an automated way?

What are you trying to do? Is the calculation for LabelPosText supposed to be inside the table script or just the graph?
