JMP 16.2: Multiple Fit Y By X CDF Plots Saved Into ppt?

[#1]

I have scripted a Data Filter to a Data Table then using the Fit Y By X portal I am generating a cdf plot. Next I save that cdf to a ppt using the following code,

Show Properties( cdf1 );
cdf1 << Save Presentation( "C:/Documents/CDF1.pptx" );

Next I repeat the process and generate cdf2 then save to a ppt, generate cdf3 then save to a ppt, etc..... Winding up with several individual ppts. Is there a way to combine all of the cdfs into one ppt? Thank you.

Save Presentation should give an option to use different insertion methods of new slides Save Presentation (jmp.com) , so you could try using those. Below is example with Append

cdf2 << Save Presentation( "C:/Documents/CDF1.pptx", Append);

Why not let JMP doing the loop for you,

in the following I slightly tuned an example from scripting index,

introducing a "by" to the analysis, and then saved the whole window in ppt.

Names Default To Here( 1 );
Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
biv = bivariate( y( :weight ), x( :height ) , by(:age));
rbiv = biv << report;

(rbiv [1] << parent)<< Save Presentation( "$TEMP/jmp_example.pptx" );
Open( "$TEMP/jmp_example.pptx" );

Thank you for the script. I need to parse through this to understand more.

1. You open a Data Table

2. Name the bivariate chart biv.

3. Send the chart to a report named as rbiv.

4. rbiv [1] is the "parent' pptx?? How are the subsequent charts added to the parent? That part I am not following.

Thank you.

Here are the steps:

1. You open a Data Table

2. Name the bivariate chart biv. 

I get a reference to the biv platform, but as I use by, this is a list, and not a single instance

3. Send the chart to a report named as rbiv.

I get a reference to the report layer, again here the result is a list

4. rbiv [1] is the "parent' pptx?? How are the subsequent charts added to the parent? That part I am not following.

I take the first element of the reports by indexing [1] and ask for the reference of the parent window (parenthesis are important). To the result/parent window the message is sent to save it as a ppt. Then JMP does the work, putting each graph into a new slide of one ppt.

The Append works for my situation. Thank you.
