Deleting "Where" text box with JSL

tom_abramov

Hi,

While running script with "where" function, a text box is added to report.

What is the way to delete it?

Is there some way to "not create" it instead of delete it? Because if I run Data Filter changes, the text box may come back.

Thanks,

Tom.

 

dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
dt << Distribution(Continuous Distribution(Column( :height )),Where( :sex == "F" ));

The direction that @Mark_Bailey pointed you is correct.  However there is one tricky issue that needs to be exposed to get what you want properly handled.  

The        Where( :Sex == "F" )       text box is not below  the Dist Report structure.  Therefore,

dist rep = dist << Report;
dist rep(TextBox(1) << delete;

will not point to    Where( :Sex == "F" )  

One needs to move to the        DisplayBox[HeadBox]     which sits above the Report structure in the Display Tree to be able to access TextBox(1). 

Below is the syntax of the JSL to accomplish what is needed

dist = dt << Distribution( Continuous Distribution( Column( :height ) ), Where( :sex == "F" ) );
dist rep = dist << Report;

(dist rep<<topparent)[textbox(1)]<<delete;

 Another way to access       Where( :sex == "F" )       is to access it from the actual window reference

window("Big Class Where(sex == -F-) - Distribution")[textbox(1)]<<delete;
