Callback from Column Switcher and posting code in the User Community

Question

Hi MS,

That worked great!  Thank you.

Two follow-up questions:

* Is there any way to set a script to be performed when the Column Switcher is used by the user?  Using your suggestion, I can re-scale the object.  If I put the re-scale script in the Graph Builder FrameBox it constantly updates the scale.  However, it constantly runs in the background, and slows things down.  A better way (I think) would be to set a script to the Column Switcher, like you might set to a RadioButtonBox.
* How do you paste script into the community dialog with the formatting from the script windows?  When I paste the text, it automatically gets converted into the standard font.

Thank you again!

Brian

All,

Thank you for the responses!  The "<< get scriptable" addition from MS worked beautifully.

The code pasting routine from PMroz worked well.  And, thank you Craige@JMP for the explanation!

For those interested in the final code, please see below.

JMP's editor doesn't put HTML format on the clipboard, but does put RTF and plain text on the clipboard.  Word loves the RTF format, and in turn will put many formats on the clipboard, including HTML.  The community editor loves the HTML format more than plain text and doesn't understand RTF.  RTF and HTML support syntax highlighting; plain text does not.

* How do you paste script into the community dialog with the formatting from the script windows?  When I paste the text, it automatically gets converted into the standard font.

As MS mentioned, in Microsoft Windows you need to copy/paste to MS-Word, and then copy/paste from Word to the forum editor.  I like to use tabs in the JMP editor, so I usually convert them to 4 spaces in MS-Word.

// Here's some sample code

dt = open("$sample_data\Big Class.jmp");

Distribution(

Continuous Distribution( Column( :weight ) ),

Nominal Distribution( Column( :age ) )

);
