Script for JMP to "display a text box asking for the max, min and target".

[#1]

Hi,

I am trying to create a basic script which analyses my data.

When I press the thumbnail linked to the script, I want it to

1. Ask the user to input the ranges

2. Create a data table which shows the max and min

3. Generates a graph with the min, max and the target in it.

So far all I can do is get the script for the data table or the graph and incorporate it into shortcuts in JMP separately. I can't figure out how to get it to generate a generate a query box for the user and I can't incorporate the graph and the data table together. Can you advise a basic tutorial set that might help with this?

Kind regards,

Elaina

If I have understood correctly, the code below may get you started:

Names Default To Here( 1 );

// Skeleton Table
dt = New Table( "User Supplied Values",
	Add Rows( 0 ),
	New Column( "Minumum", Numeric, "Continuous", ),
	New Column( "Target", Numeric, "Continuous", ),
	New Column( "Maximum", Numeric, "Continuous", )
);
		
// Make a UI to allow the values to be entered
cols = dt << getColumnNames( "String", Continuous );
lub1 = Lineup Box( N Col( 1 ) );
lub2 = Lineup Box( N Col( 1 ) );
For( c = 1, c <= N Items( cols ), c++,
	lub1 << Append( Text Box( cols[c] ) );
	lub2 << Append( Number Edit Box( . ) );
);
nw = New Window( "Enter Values",
	<<onClose( makeGraph ),
	Lineup Box( N Col( 2 ), lub1, lub2 ),
	Lineup Box( N Col( 2 ), Button Box( "Add", addScript ), Button Box( "Cancel", nw << closeWindow ) )
);

// Add a new row to dt when required
addScript = Expr(
	dt << addRows( 1 );
	lastRow = N Row( dt );
	For( c = 1, c <= N Items( cols ), c++,
		Column( dt, c )[lastRow] = (lub2[c] << get);
		lub2[c] << set( . );
		);
	);

// Make a graph
makeGraph = Expr(
	If( N Row( dt ) > 0, 
			Beep();
			Print("Insert code here.")	
		);
	);
