Remove extra text when exporting graph builder to powerpoint

 I'm trying to remove the extra text that is currently exported along side a graph builder output.  Currently it will export the graph as one slide, then an extra slide that looks like this

I know that the "Where(xx rows excluded)" text is stored in the IfBox.  If I manually remove or hide that, the graph will export without the extra dialogue text, but I can't seem to figure out what is the right code for removing it.

vcdgb = Graph Builder(
	Size( 1200, 1000 ),
	Fit to Window("Off"),
	Show Control Panel( 0 ),
	Variables( X( :SampleDay ), Y( :y condition ), Overlay( :Experiment Cond ) ),
	Elements( Points( X, Y, Legend( 8 ) ), Line( X, Y, Legend( 10 ) ) ),
);



vcdgb << Save Presentation("C:\JMP Summary.pptx");
Open("C:\JMP Summary.pptx");

Thanks!

Re: Remove extra text when exporting graph builder to powerpoint

You should be able to remove the text box with Where.. text with Xpath:

 

Names Default To Here(1);
dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp");

dt << Select Where(:sex == "M") << Hide and Exclude(1) << Clear Select;

obj = dt << Graph Builder(
	Variables(X(:Sex), Y(:Height), Group X(:Age)),
	Elements(Box Plot(X, Y))
);

wait(1);

(Report(obj) << XPath("//TextBox[contains(text(),'Where(')]")) << delete;
-Jarmo

Re: Remove extra text when exporting graph builder to powerpoint

This solution directly addresses the request, but I caution about always using the << Delete message to eliminate a display box. There is always the possibility that such action might adversely affect the behavior of the display tree. Rather than delete the object, consider sending the << Visibility( "Collapse" ) message instead.

 

This suggestion falls under a practice I teach called 'defensive scripting.'
