Is it possible to create background map images from graph builder maps that I create in JMP?

Question

I'd like to use the graph builder type of maps I make (where I show some variable of interest mapped by region, etc) into a map image.  I'd like to project a map image of a previously made graph behind a bubble chart.  Ultimately, I'm trying to show regional socioeconomic trends behind plotted bubble charts.  Script would be a great help if this is possible.

cheers,

Elliot

and here's the rest:

New Window( "sample 2", g = Graph Box() );

g[framebox( 1 )] << AddImage(

Image( image ),

bounds( Left( 0 ), Right( 100 ), top( 90 ), bottom( 10 ) )

);

note how you place the image corners.  If the user zooms, the image may stretch...

here's the first part: grab an image from a graph builder display frame:

dt=open("$sample_data/big class.jmp");

gb = dt<<Graph Builder(

Size( 641, 448 ),

Show Control Panel( 0 ),

Variables( X( :weight ), Y( :height ) ),

Elements( Points( X, Y, Legend( 3 ) ), Smoother( X, Y, Legend( 4 ) ) ),

SendToReport(

Dispatch(

{},

"weight",

ScaleBox,

{Min( -122.734876954782 ), Max( -67.4190811007395 ), Inc( 20 ),

Minor Ticks( 0 )}

),

Dispatch(

{},

"height",

ScaleBox,

{Scale( "Geodesic" ), Min( 17.4319614498727 ), Max( 51.9452357861559 ),

Inc( 10 ), Minor Ticks( 0 )}

),

Dispatch(

{},

"Graph Builder",

FrameBox,

{Background Map( Images( "Simple Earth" ) ), Grid Line Order( 2 ),

Reference Line Order( 3 )}

)

);

image = (report(gb)[framebox(1)])<<getpicture;

new window("sample",image);
