How to add multiple reference lines to Y-axis in graph builder?

EricTsai

Hi All,

I came across some problems while using graph builder , I need to add different refrence lines to the Y-axis (like the attahced plot), which is catogorized into 4 groups.

but the defaut setting is that all groups apply to the same reference lines, could any one help to sovle this?

thanks in advance.

Hi, I found this script previously in the community and save it becuse I need to create charts with different reference lines per group, hope this is also what you need.

NamesDefaultToHere(1);
dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp");

// Different values for each group takes more work
gb2 = dt << Graph Builder(
Size( 534, 488 ),
Show Control Panel( 0 ),
Show Legend( 0 ),
Variables( X( :weight ), Y( :height ), Group X( :sex ) ),
Elements( Points( X, Y, Legend( 8 ) ), Smoother( X, Y, Legend( 9 ) ) )
);
gb2Rep = Report(gb2);
// Females . . .
gb2Rep[Framebox(1)] << addGraphicsScript(
PenColor("Orange"); HLine(60);
Transparency(0.25);
FillColor("Green");
Rect(50, 60, 180, 55, 1);
FillColor("Blue");
Rect(50, 65, 180, 60, 1);
);
// Males . . .
gb2Rep[Framebox(2)] << addGraphicsScript(
PenColor("Orange"); HLine(65);
Transparency(0.25);
FillColor("Green");
Rect(50, 65, 180, 60, 1);
FillColor("Blue");
Rect(50, 70, 180, 65, 1);
);

This suggestion involves scripting but it is minimal.

Right-click in one of the plots and select Customize.
Click Add (plus sign).
Type H Line( Y ), where the Y argument is the value for the reference line.
Click OK.

Repeat this process for each plot that requires a unique reference line.

Note that if you save a script now, it should include the customizations that you made.

Note that you can precede the graphic function with others to first determine attributes like color and line style.

Did you try it interactively and save the script?

EricTsai

Sorry, i dont know how to use JSL to add reference lines..

Mark_Bailey

I did not say to use a script. I said interactively. Try right-clicking on one of these axes and select Axis Settings. Add the reference lines you want and click OK. If it only adds it to one of them, the right-click and select Edit > Copy Axis Settings. Hold the Control key, right-click on another axis, and select Edit > Paste Axis Settings.

Does either way work?

EricTsai

Yeah it works, But what i need is to add different ref. lines for each group,respectively. thanks !!
