image in a background of a graphbuilder

[#1]

hi,

is it possible to put an image in the background of a graph?

Let me explain: I have a graph with histograms representing a % of failures for a process;

I would like to overlay with an image of a process screen. I will size the graph so that the histograms are well placed on the image.

thanks  fro your answers.

all the best

Try something like this:

Names Default To Here(1);
dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA\Cities.jmp");
gb = dt << Graph Builder( Variables( X( :POP ) ), Elements( Histogram( X, Legend( 3 ) ) ) );
frame = (gb << report)[FrameBox( 1 )];
frame << Add Image( Open("$SAMPLE_IMAGES/black rhino footprint.jpg", jpg), bounds(left(0), top(30),bottom(0),right(9000)));

Is it possible to have colors of the JMP graph with transparency?

For most fills in graph builder, you can right click on the legend and select Transparency...

For example:

Open("$SAMPLE_DATA\Big Class.jmp");
Graph Builder(
    Variables( X( :height ) ),
    Elements( Histogram( X, Legend( 5 ) ) ),
    SendToReport(
        Dispatch(
            {},
            "400",
            ScaleBox,
            {Legend Model(
                5,
                Properties(
                    0,
                    {Fill Color( 5 ), Transparency( 0.5 )},
                    Item ID( "height", 1 )
                )
            )}
        )
    )
);

You can set the transparency of the markers in almost any graph in JMP, including Graph Builder, with a right click and choose Transparency...

In this example, I've already set the transparency to .25.
