Troubles with interactive graph box

Hi all, hope you can help me with below concern. I am trying to create a graph box chart, but I want the data to be displayed taken from an interactive window, so far I only can do it by creating a table, then taking the values from the table to be presented in the graph.

 

See the script I created:

 

// Script starts here:
// I created this table "Measurements" in order to  create the data with data to be displayed in the chart.
Meas = New Table( "Measurements",invisible, Add Rows( 1 ),
New Column( "AVG", Numeric, "Continuous", Format( "Best", 12 ), Set Values( [3] ) ),
New Column( "STDEV", Numeric, "Continuous", Format( "Best", 12 ), Set Values( [1] ) ));
 
// This interactive window is in order to input the values to be displayed in the chart instead of taking them from the table "measurements".
New Window( "SCRIPT REQUIREMENTS",
<<MODAL></MODAL>

Re: Troubles with interactive graph box

Thanks a lot Jim, your help is highly appreciated.

I've been reading the JSL Scripting Guide, but I did not fully understand the way to use properly Throw().

I will keep reading it and practicing.

Thank you once again

Re: Troubles with interactive graph box

See script below for the proper way to capture the cancel.  I strongly suggest that you read through the JSL Scripting Guide before you go much deeper into JSL.  The knowledge you gain will make your adventure easier and a lot more fun.

Names Default To Here( 1 );

nw = New Window( "SCRIPT REQUIREMENTS",

Re: Troubles with interactive graph box

Thank you Jim, this is eactly what I want. I have an additional question:

In case user selects Cancel from the interactive window, I noticed that chart is still created, what is the correct to approach to cancel the creation of the chart if cancel is selected?

Thank you in advance.

Re: Troubles with interactive graph box

Here is one way to handle it

Names Default To Here( 1 );
// This interactive window is in order to input the values to be displayed in the chart instead of taking them from the table "measurements".
New Window( "SCRIPT REQUIREMENTS",
 <<MODAL></MODAL>
