Rectangle Graphic

[#1]

Hello everybody,

is there an easy way in JMP to generate a graph with different rectangles (different sizes)? See an example attached.

With this graph I would like to give an overview of different materials and their corresponding shapes. 

Thanks in advance.

 What sort of data do you have? You can for example create custom shape files

I attached a file with sample data. I do have coordinates for every corner of the rectangles.

JMP has a complete set of graphic primitives' that can be used for creating things such as rectangles.  The Scripting Index details the functions available and gives examples of their use.

Here is the script from the Rect() function description.

Names Default To Here( 1 );
New Window( "Example",
	Graph Box(
		Pen Color( "Green" );
		Pen Size( 2 );
		Fill Color( "Red" );
		Rect( 15, 75, 65, 55, 1 );
		Rect( 10, 80, 70, 50 );
	)
);

Thank you!

Also look at the transparency command if you have issues with which one is in front.

both rectangles are drawn with 50% alpha

Lots of overlap in your data.  This code will do it; I set the rectangles to unfilled to show the overlap.

dt = data table("Rectangles");

// Set some constants
xmin = 0;
xmax = 4000;
ymin = 0;
ymax = 1500;
xres = 800;
yres = 500;

color_list  = {"Red", "Blue", "Green", "Orange", "Purple"};
filled_rect = 0;	// set to 1 for filled rectangles

heat_map_win = New Window( "Example Rectangles ",
	rect_gb = Graph Box(
		framesize( xres, yres ),
		xscale(xmin, xmax),
		yscale(ymin, ymax),
		for (i = 1, i <= nrows(dt), i++,
			xleft   = dt:x 1[i];
			xright  = dt:x 3[i];
			ybottom = dt:y 1[i];
			ytop    = dt:y 4[i];
			pcolor  = color_list[dt:material[i]];
			pen color(pcolor);
			fill color(pcolor);
			rect(xleft, ytop, xright, ybottom, filled_rect);
		),
	)
);

Thanks for the code. Working well for me.

Now I'd like to split the graphs by another key column. E.g. graph 1 will have the  rectangles for parameter A, graph 2 will have the  rectangles for parameter B, etc.

I'm struggling to use a Where or By clause here.

I would need to have all the graphs displayed vertically and save it as a jpg.

Thank you

I would definitely do this with Graph box but you can try to do something with Graph builder also. If I understood the data correctly you have couple of different versions per material. Based  on that I did some split/stack/formulas to get table like this:

With this table I then created Graph builder and used smoother with confidence of fit ON.

These two happened by accident and will work only because all rectangles have "line" in x = 0:

Bar chart + line char:

Also using line with fill below:

Datatable attached with tablescript.
