How do I update a script for variability table to draw reference lines that refer to data filter settings?

[#1]

Hello,

I am working on a Variability Chart where I have continuous data that I am plotting by subgroup.  I have 3 temperature bands of data "1C to 13C", "16C to 28C" and "30C to 45C".  I would like to have reference lines drawn for each filter category I select in the data, there are 3 different reference lines groups.

See the attached file and Variability script.

I am relatively new to scripting.  I have seen how the JMP scripting command allows you to write the command for each reference line.  I want to make the command dynamic based on what is selected by the data filter. (bold underlined section of the script.

Please advise,

Thanks

Matt

Hi @mcastner, I would say you picked a fairly complicated task to start scripting!  Below is a way to do what you asked (if I interpreted you correctly), but I wonder if you could make this easier by using graph builder to draw a box plot and line at the same time.  How do you come up with values for the reference lines?  Any chance that is a summary of the available data (median, quantile, etc), or could you do that in a formula column?

Names default to here(1);

dt = Open( "$Sample_data/big class.jmp" );

//Valeus for ref lines - hopefully populated by your script
reflines = Associative Array({
	{"height", 
		Associative Array({
			{ 12, 62 },
			{ 13, 63 },
			{ 14, 64 },
			{ 15, 65 },
			{ 16, 66 },
			{ 17, 67 }
		})
	},
	{"weight",
		Associative Array({
			{ 12, 112 },
			{ 13, 113 },
			{ 14, 114 },
			{ 15, 115 },
			{ 16, 116 },
			{ 17, 117 }
		})
	}
});

//A window with a single data filter that will be applied to all graphs inside it
New Window("charts",
	Data Filter Context Box(
		H List Box(
			ldf = dt << Data Filter( Local,
				Add Filter(
					columns( :age ),
					Where( :age == 13 ),
					Display( :age, N Items( 6 ) )
				),
				Mode( Select( 0 ), Show( 1 ), Include( 1 ) )
			),
			vc1 = Variability Chart(
				Y( :height ),
				X( :sex )
			);
			vc2 = Variability Chart(
				Y( :weight ),
				X( :sex )
			);
		)
	)
);

//Function that is called when data filter changes and when the window is first opened, this will redraw lines on charts
UpdateRefLines = function({}, 
	
	//find out what ages were selected, there is probably a better way to do this too
	filteredagelast = filteredage;
	filteredage = median(dt:age[ldf << get filtered rows()]);
	
	//detect if there was a change in the age (prevents flickering of the screen)
	if(is missing(filteredagelast) | (filteredagelast != filteredage),
		
		//remove any existing ref lines
		(vc1 << XPath("//AxisBox[@charID=2]"))[1] << Revert Axis;
		(vc2 << XPath("//AxisBox[@charID=2]"))[1] << Revert Axis;
		
		//draw new lines
		(vc1 << XPath("//ScaleBox[@ID=2]")) << Add Ref Line( reflines["height"][FilteredAge], "Solid", "Black", "", 1 );
		(vc2 << XPath("//ScaleBox[@ID=2]")) << Add Ref Line( reflines["weight"][FilteredAge], "Solid", "Black", "", 1 );
	)
);

//function called when data filter changes, here it only redraws reference lines
UpdatesOnRowStateChanges = function({x}, if(is matrix(x), UpdateRefLines ) );

//variable used to keep track of the last filter applied
filteredage = .;

//Assign function to data filter 
rsh = vc1 << Make Row State Handler( dt, UpdatesOnRowStateChanges );

//draw initial reference lines
UpdateRefLines();
