JSL > Graphic script > Polygon > Dynamically assign coordinates

[#1]

Hi JMP community,

In a simple script I'm currently developing,  I would like to draw a rectangle polygon in Graphic Script applied to a GraphBuilder FrameBox with dynamic coordinates in function of the the axis scale (i.e. Polygon ([X1, X1, X2, X2], [Y1, Y2, Y2, Y1]). While I can easily achieve this with "hard coded" numerical coordinates for the polygon, and I can easily dynamically calculate the values of X1, X2, Y1, and Y2; I have not been able to determine the proper syntax in my script to update dynamically these coordinates: the script below does not work because of the incorrect handling of the coordinate vector.

Names Default to Here (1);

dt1 = Data Table ("TABLE1.JMP");
dt2 = Data Table ("TABLE2.JMP");

CList = dt1 << get column Names (string);


gbe = Expr (dt1 << Graph Builder(
					Size( 838, 494 ),
					Variables(
						X( :COLUMNX ),
						Y( _YS_ ),
						Group X( :COLUMNSPLIT )
					),
					Elements(
						Points( X, Y, Legend( 4 ) ),
						Line Of Fit( X, Y, Legend( 6 ) ),
						Ellipse( X, Y, Legend( 7 ) )
					),
					SendToReport(
						Dispatch(
							{},
							"Graph Builder",
							FrameBox,
							{Left( 1 ), Right( 1 ), Top( 1 ), Bottom( 1 ),
							Add Graphics Script(
								2,
								Description( "Script" ),
								Fill Color( "white" );
								Transparency( 0.6 );
								Polygon( [-1, -1, 4.5, 4.5], _YVECTOR_ );
								Transparency( 1 );
								Text Size( 14 );
								Text color ("black");
								Text( right Justified, {4, _TPY1_}, _R1_ );
								Text Color (_TXTC1_);
								Text( right Justified, {4, _TPY2_}, _P1_ );
							), Grid Line Order( 1 ), Reference Line Order( 3 )}
						),
						Dispatch(
							{},
							"Graph Builder",
							FrameBox( 2 ),
							{Left( 1 ), Right( 1 ), Top( 1 ), Bottom( 1 ),
							Add Graphics Script(

Thank you for your help.

After digging a bit more, I realized that I needed to use the List format for the polygon (i.e. Polygon ({x1,y1}, {x1,y2}, {x2,y2}, {x2,y1}) coordinates and not the Matrix format
