How to have an horizontal layout when using a By variable with the graph builder?

Hello everybody!

I would like to know how to display graphs horizontally when using a By variable with the graph Builder?

Here is a small example script:

Graph Builder(
Size( 528, 456 ),
Show Control Panel( 0 ),
Variables( X( :weight ), Y( :height ) ),
Elements( Points( X, Y, Legend( 1 ) ), Smoother( X, Y, Legend( 2 ) ) ),
By( :sex )
)

 

I get the following result:

And I would like to get this:

Image2.png

 

Any idea of how we could do that?

Thanks in advance!

Try this approach:

 

Names Default to Here( 1 );

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

New Window( "Side by Side",
	Line Up Box( N Col( 2 ),
		dt << Graph Builder(
			Size( 534, 456 ),
			Show Control Panel( 0 ),
			Variables( X( :height ), Y( :weight ) ),
			Elements( Points( X, Y, Legend( 3 ) ), Smoother( X, Y, Legend( 4 ) ) ),
			By( :sex )
		)	)
);
