Saving Variability Charts as PDF only one chart being saved

[#1]

Hello,

I've made a script to make variability charts and I'm trying to save as a PDF. Looking through other discussions I found how to save as PDF. The issues is that I've 7 charts but only the last one is actually being saved in the PDF. Is there something that I'm missing that could be causing this?

vc = Data Table( "Data Accept" ) << Variability Chart(
	Y( Column( "Bin_VALUE" ) ),
	X( :Status_Type ),
	By( :Product, :Bin_Size ),
	Show Box Plots( 1 ),
	Std Dev Chart( 0 ),
	Points Jittered( 1 )
);

TestReport= vc;

TestReport << Set page setup( margins( 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5 ), scale( 0.80 ), header( 0), footer( 0), portrait( 1 ));

TestReport << SavePDF("$root\" || IDNumber || ".pdf");

Thanks

When you use a By() option in a platform the result is a list of platforms.

So, you'll need to get to the parent display box of one of reports of one of the platforms using the <<Parent message.

dt=open("$SAMPLE_DATA\Variability Data\3 Factors Nested & Crossed.jmp");
vc = dt<<Variability Chart(
	Y( :Y ),
	X( :Part, :Instrument ),
	Analysis Type( "Choose best analysis (EMS REML Bayesian)" ),
	Std Dev Chart( 0 ),
	By( :Operator )
);

show(vc);

TestReport= report(vc[1])<<Parent;

TestReport << Set page setup( margins( 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5 ), scale( 0.80 ), header( 0), footer( 0), portrait( 1 ));

TestReport << SavePDF("c:\temp\Test.pdf");

Be sure to look at the log window after running the example above. The show(vc) will demonstrate that vc has a list of Variability platforms.

Thanks Jeff. I applied your code and it worked.

So is the vc[1] telling it to use the first on the list?

FYI, I tried following your links for "list" and "platforms" but it said page not found.

The other three links worked fine.

Thanks for our help!

Yes. You use [] to subscript into a list.

Yikes! Sorry about that. I've corrected them in the post above.
