[JSL] Local Data Filter Selection Not Being Applied When Generating Table of Graphs

[#1]

Hello,

I am trying to create a table of histograms that have had a local data filter applied to only display a subset of the data.  However, when I review the pictures in the table, the histograms are displaying plots for all available data.  In the sample JSL below. I have used the Semiconductor Capability.jmp sample data file. For example, if the filter is being applied ( for lot_id = "lot09"), all measurements for the PNP5 column should be within spec limits.  (I'm not sure if this is pertinent, but I am using JMP 14.3.0 on Windows 10).

Thanks, 

AW

Hmm, when I run your script I get PNP5 within spec in the histogram:

Can you show your results?, e.g. providing the resulting data table?

I checked in 14.3 and I see what you mean. There might be a bug which has been fixed. Best to ask Tech Support for clarification.
(support@jmp.com). My results shown above were done with JMP 15.1

@martindemel Thank you for helping to dig into this issue. I ended up submitting a tech support ticket and, through a bit of experimentation, we figured out that if a wait(0) statement is inserted between the creation of the Distribution report and the GetPicture statement in my original code, the issue goes away (although there is a considerable slow down). The << Update Window command also corrects the issue, but does not cause the code execution slowdown the wait () statement. Thanks, AW
