When using graph builder, how to move the legend part to the bottom of the graph instead of current right side? Is there any part of JSL that could do the changes? Thanks a lot.

Re: How to move the legend part to the bottom

I can't find a way to do it by hand, but it's possible with JSL.

Here is one way exanple on how it can be done:

Open( "$ENGLISH_SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );

gb = Graph Builder(

          Show Control Panel( 0 ),

          Variables( X( :age ), Y( :weight ), Y( :height ) ),

          Elements( Position( 1, 1 ), Points( X, Y, ), Smoother( X, Y, ) ),

          Elements( Position( 1, 2 ), Points( X, Y, ), Smoother( X, Y, ) )

);

gbr = Report( gb );

legend = gbr[LegendBox( 1 )];

legend << orientation( "horizontal" );

gbr[Outline Box( 1 )] << append( legend );

legend << delete;

Re: How to move the legend part to the bottom

Hi, one more problem I got now is I can't copy the whole graph to other place. I tried to ctrl-c and ctrl-v and it only allowed me to copy the graph itself, not with legend together. Do you know to how to copy the whole thing in a quick way? Thanks again.

Activate the selection tool (a fat plus sign) and select the parts of the report you wish to copy. Sometimes it is easier to select parts if the report is journaled (ctrl-j) firtst. Once properly selected I think ctrl-c would work as expected.

There is no plus sign for me to select (grayed out) for graph builder. Anyway, I figured out a way of auto-save the graph into a .jpg file. Thanks for your hint.
