How to change only sections of a graph's background color

[#1]

Hi All,

  I am interested in scripting a solution that allows me to change sections of a graph's background color. I know how to manually do this with editing the axes of a graph, but this changes everything vertically (or horizontally) over that range. I want to change sections that are bounded in both X and Y.

For example, I want to take the following graph and change it from this:

To something like this:

JMP does this with the Process Capability platform and Process Performance Plot, so I'm pretty sure it's possible, but I just don't know how to do it. Preferably, the background colors will change when changing the graph's axes, like it does in the Process Performance Plot.

  Any thoughts/feedback is much appreciated.

Thanks!,

DS

The Rect() graphics function can create such colored areas. Be sure to call Rect() before the Marker() function so that the colors do not obscure the points.

Example:

Names Default to Here( 1 );

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

obj = dt << Bivariate(
	Y( :weight ),
	X( :height ),
	Fit Line( {Line Color( {212, 73, 88} )} ),
	SendToReport(
		Dispatch(
			{},
			"Bivar Plot",
			FrameBox,
			{Add Graphics Script(
				4,
				Description( "" ),
				Fill Color( "blue" );
				Rect( 50, 120, 60, 60, 1 );
			)}
		)
	)
);
