Control Box Plot design in preferences

[Georg]

Dear all,

we use Box Plots a lot, and the new features in JMP 16 (notched ...) are great,

but it would be quite helpful to be able to control these features already in preference settings.

So I would vote for including features like 

Box Style( "Solid" ), Notched( 1 ), Fences( 1 ), Name( "5 Number Summary" )(1)

in preferences to not need to specify them in each plot again.

See script and screenshot for illustration.

Thanks,

 

Names Default To Here( 1 );
// styled Box Plot with notch and colos

dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
dlg = Column Dialog(
	xCols = Col List( "X, Factors", Min Col( 1 ), Max Col( 1 ), Modeling Type( "Categorical" ) ),
	yCols = Col List( "Y, Response", Min Col( 1 ), Max Col( 1 ), Modeling Type( "Continuous" ) )
);

gb = Graph Builder(
	Show Control Panel( 0 ),
	Variables( X( dlg["xCols"][1] ), Y( dlg["yCols"][1] ), Color( dlg["xCols"][1] ) ),
	Elements( Box Plot( X, Y, Legend( 3 ), Box Style( "Solid" ), Notched( 1 ), Fences( 1 ), Name( "5 Number Summary" )(1) ) )
);
