adding text from outside bivariate

[#1]

Hi all,

I am trying to position a text box on bivariate plot.

The contents of text boxt are extracted from the bivariate report based on fit, so its not ready when I am constructing the bivariate in the first place.

Please let me know the syntax regarding this.
Below is a simplified version of code I am using. I want to add number "this_var" (at end) on bivariate.

					biv=Dt << Fit Y by X(
						Robust Fit,
						X( Eval( Column( Dt, "X" )[rows[i]] ) ),
						Y( Eval( Column( Dt, "Y" )[rows[i]] ) ),
						Fit Robust( {Line Color( {213, 72, 87} ), Line Style( "Dotted" )} ),
						SendToReport(
							Dispatch(
								{},
								"Bivar Plot",
								FrameBox,
								{Frame Size( 799, 464 ), Marker Size( 12 ),
								Marker Drawing Mode( "Outlined" ),
								DispatchSeg( Line Seg( 1 ), {Line Style( "Dotted" )} ),
									Row Legend(
										:WAFER,
										Color( 0 ),
										Color Theme( "" ),
										Marker( 1 ),
										Marker Theme( "Standard" ),
										Continuous Scale( 0 ),
										Reverse Scale( 0 ),
										Excluded Rows( 0 )
									),
									//--display Value column entry here from Dt ---					
									Add Text Annotation( 
										Text( "Value:" || char(Format(Eval( Column( Dt, "Value" )[rows[i]] ), "Scientific", 10))), 
												Text Box( {100, 10, 404, 200} )
											)
								}
							)
						),
						
					)
					/* get the report into a variable */
					reportbiv = biv << Report;
					this_var = Report( biv )[Outline Box( "Fit" )][NumberColBox(1)][2];
					//----Need to add above variable in a text box in bivariate plot above

Here is an even more abriviated script that illustrates the answer to what I believe your question was.

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA\big class.jmp" );
Biv = Bivariate( Y( :weight ), X( :height ), Fit Robust( {Line Color( {213, 72, 87} )} ) );

this_var = (Report( biv )[Outline Box( "Robust Fit" )][Number Col Box( 1 )] << get)[1];
biv( report ) << Add Text Annotation( Text( Char( this_var ) ), Text Box( {65, 35, 200, 77} ) );

Another option would be to use "Add Graphic Text" which will give you better location and features

Both of these options are documented int the Scripting Index
