JMP17Pro --> How can I script the Shape:Name "Use dots for extremely small shapes" -- I want to turn it off

[#1]

    //missing_shape_color
    // THIS one works.
    target_graphics_script = target_window[Framebox( 2 )] << find seg( Shape Seg( 1 ));
    target_graphics_script << {Missing value fill( 2 )};

This is how I'm setting "missing value fill"  which seems to be an adjacent setting

What do I need to send to get rid of this dots thing.

Thanks!

I found a single reference to this "feature"
Tip: Very small shapes on a map can be made visible with a dot. To access this option, right-click on a map > Customize > Shape: X and choose Use dots for extremely small shapes.
https://www.jmp.com/support/help/en/17.0/index.shtml#page/jmp/scale-map-shapes.shtml 

I tried all these permutations to uncheck this checkbox or turn it off but none of them worked.

	owFB = Report( gb_right )[Framebox( 1 )];
	owFB << DispatchSeg(Shape Seg( 1 ), {Use dots for extremely small shapes(Empty())});
	owFB << DispatchSeg(Shape Seg( 1 ), {Use dots for extremely small shapes("False")});
	owFB << DispatchSeg(Shape Seg( 1 ), {Use dots for extremely small shapes(0)});
	
	target_graphics_script = target_window[Framebox( 2 )] << find seg( Shape Seg( 1 ));
	target_graphics_script << {Use dots for extremely small shapes(0)};
	target_graphics_script << {Use dots for extremely small shapes(Empty())};

 Can you try running this and see if it gives you an clues?  That should give you all of the messages you can send to that object.

Show Properties( target_graphics_script );

Thanks for the reply, here's what I see.

I'm not sure which one of these needs to be interacted with to get that box unchecked.

I also don't see "missing value fill" here which is what worked for the other checkbox, the only reason I found it was saving the graph builder window as script and looking at what it had. It makes no mention of these use dots for small shapes thing though.

Well I have to say this one has me stumped, I don't see that setting either and there is only one mention of it in the Documentation Library. Hopefully someone else chimes in, if not I would send this one to support@jmp.com.

Wrote an email, I'll update this when I hear back.

[#6 · Accepted solution]

Got a response from support.

There is no possible way to script this parameter.

They may address this as an "omission for correction" in a future release of JMP.
This is the version of JMP I'm using that has this issue.
JMP® Pro 17.0.0 (622753)

I'm hoping there may be some way to reduce the size of the dot with a global setting that would affect all "markers".

I've replied to the email and will update this post when I hear back.

Final Update: No current workaround. Will keep an eye on future releases for a fix.

Thanks!

Greetings - i can confirm that JMP Development received the request and will add this parameter as a scriptable one in the next major release of JMP. 

[#8]

I noticed JMP 17.1 has been released, I checked the notes and didn't see any mention of this feature, did it make it in?

[#9]

I assume by major version they meant JMP 18. 

[#10]

Makes sense, thank you.
