Query Y axis name

graph1 = dt << Variability Chart(
 Y( :Name( "Age in 2019" ) ),
 X( :Gender ),
 invisible,
 Show Range Bars( 0 ),
 Show Cell Means( 0 ),
 Std Dev Chart( 0 ),
 Automatic Recalc( 1 ),
);<BR />

This is a bit from my .jsl script where I have multiple graphs. Is there a way to easily query the Name of whatever graph is in my queque?

For Example... in any object oriented language it would look something like this: graph2.Y.Name. This would get the name of the Y axis.

I need the name in order to save the graph with the proper name based on the Y axis.

Re: Query Y axis name

The name on the Y axis will be the name of the data column used in the Y role. You have that information in order to launch the platform.

 

Alternatively, you can ask the display box object, a text edit box in this case, for its value.

 

Names Default to Here( 1 );

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

graph1 = dt << Variability Chart(
 Y( :weight ),
 X( :age )
);

graph1 rep = graph1 << Report;
name = graph1 rep[TextEditBox(1)] << Get Text;

Right-click on the gray triangle in front of the outline box with the contents of interest and select Edit > Show Tree Structure. This tool makes it easier to determine the object you are looking for.

 

JMP does not use the syntax of object.property or object.method.

 X( :Gender ),

 Automatic Recalc( 1 ),
        Where( :HairColor == "Brown" )
);

Thanks! Is there a way to query other things? or a page where I can see all of the things that I can query. I'd also like to query the Where() filter condition which does not show up in the Show Tree Structure. That way I can make a graph with the name of the graph title, and the condition so it doesn't overwrite a graph with the same name and different condition.

Re: Query Y axis name

Select Help > Scripting Index. Change the index to show the Display Boxes. You will see that there are a lot of them! They have many unique properties and methods but the also share many common ones. Many of the query messages are common.

 

Can you use a Data Filter instead of a Local Data Filter? If so, it supports such a query:

 

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Cities.jmp" );
obj = dt <<
Data Filter(
 Add( Filter Columns( :Region, :Lead ) )
);
Wait( 1 );
obj << (Filter Column( :Lead ) <<
Where( :Lead >= .4 & :Lead <= 1.4 ));
txt = obj << get where clause;

Note that this example is also from the Scripting Index.

Re: Query Y axis name

unfortunately I'm not able to do the local filter since I have a separate graph for each condition because I don't want the local filter to show up at all. I tried the code above... and would just get "Scriptable" or "Variability[]" back. Any other way to grab what is being filtered?
