Graph Builder new option: global fit

[hogi]

☑ cool new feature
☑ could help many users!

☑ removes something that feels like a „bug“

☐ nice to have

☐ nobody needs it

What inspired this wish list request? 

Via the variables settings in Graphbuilder a user can disable some variables for a specific plot style.
Extremely useful!!

... but it could be even better. At the moment, not ALL variables are listed, e.g. X / Y Group and Wrap are missing.

missing: Wrap, X Group, Y Group ?!?!?

What is the improvement you would like to see? 

Add checkboxes for the missing variables - to give the user the chance to disable them.

Why is this idea important? 

If a user uses Wrap to split a plot into several subplots -  at the moment, there is no possibility to generate a COMMON FIT (with all data points) and display it an all subplots. such a common fit could be used to see how the individual fits deviate from this common fit.

Here is a workaround: 

Before splitting the plot into subplots, generate a fit and save the formula to the table. Add the fitted data points and split the plot.

With the possibility to disab´ple the Wrap (or X /Y Group) variable for the Linear fit, the final plot could be generated directly with GraphBuilder without a woraround.

cool, isn't it?

Names Default to Here(1);

// generate the plot without splitting it
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );

	myPlot= Data Table( "Big Class" ) << Graph Builder(
		Size( 582, 401 ),
		Summary Statistic( "Median" ),
		Graph Spacing( 4 ),
		Variables( X( :height ), Y( :weight ) ),
		Elements( Points( X, Y, Legend( 12 ) ), Line Of Fit( X, Y, Legend( 14 ) ) )
	);
	myPlot << Update Element( 1, 1, 2, {Save Formula} );

// save the fit
:"Line of Fit(weight)"n << set name("common fit");

// use it in additional to the data points
myPlot << Add Variable({:common fit , Role("Y"), Position(1)});

// split the plot
myPlot << Add Variable({:sex, Role("wrap")})

In addition, for some variables, there are check boxes, but they don't have an effect -> enable them!

X=name IS DISABLED, but it's used to generate the plot.

Names Default to Here(1);
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
Graph Builder(
	Variables(
		X( :sex ),
		X( :name, Position( 1 ) ),
		Y( :weight ),
		Overlay( :sex )
	),
	Elements(
		Points( X( 1 ), Y, Legend( 1 ) )
	)
);

Good suggestion Hogi. I've marked this for inclusion in the next prioritization survey. There are several wishes related to graph builder improvements that we could combine into a single initiative. We will discuss internally.
