Graph Builder Toolbar

[#1]

Purpose

If you use Graph Builder often, the Graph Builder toolbar extension will help you by adding shortcuts to the report toolbar so that you can

• Open and close the Control Panel
• Toggle the legend on and off

How to Use

additional shortcuts Icons:

• Control Panel on/off. Toggle the Control Panel mode on/off (makes point plots much nicer)
• Legend on/off. Toggle the legend display on/off.
• steal this code (beta mode): robust scripts from subset/summary tables - talk to enhanced log 
• reset axis labels if they were manually edited
• outlines: toggles outlines for point plots and contour for heatmap plots on/off
• Hierarchical X labels 
• LocalDataFilter -> subset: opens the current selection as a subset (= Show Subset)
• Send to PPT. Shortcut to send the graph to an open Powerpoint presentation
  (Requires an open Powerpoint presentation)
• animate LDF: adds an animation menu and saves the graphs as images to tmp folder
• gradient: middle 90% (toggles it on/off)
  new: warning message
• Linecut generate a linecut from a heatmap plot. Development and documentation of the code via the Community: Line Profile in JMP? 
  
• Cycle Group X/Y/Wrap Font Size. Change the font size of Group X/Group Y/Wrap labels 
  implementing @ms's idea from Reduce font size for wrapped graph builder headings?
  Unfortunately, this is possible via hacking the Preferences!
  Here is a wish from 2019 to fix it in the future: Right-click to change Group font and font size

Note: I like it to have the report toolbar on the left of the window. To get it there, just right-click the toolbar and select Location > Left.

System Configuration

Add-in developed and tested using the following system configuration.

Windows

JMP 16

JMP 17

JMP 18

JMP 19

Special Considerations

PowerPoint is required to use the send to PowerPoint toolbar item. This requires a call to the operating system using the JSL function Run Program.

PowerShell is required to use the send to PowerPoint toolbar item.

Special Thanks

@jthi : Thanks for your great suggestions

New feature:

as a workaround of Manual axis labels are 'mixed up' when plotting multiple columns 

[hogi]

Improved functionality of  Send To PPT:

1.  CTRL +  click on the image in PPT to open again the corresponding JMP file
2.  a table script is added which can be used to create again the same graph 
   [to find the right table script, please go to PPT and check the Alternative Text]
