JMP15 Gridlet to append hyperlink to graph builder points

Question

I have successfully created graph builder charts where i can hover over a point and it shows a hyperlink to an image, this is a super cool feature of JMP15 that I just discovered.  But when i add 'Group X' variables I get multiple frame boxes and the number of them is variable based on my dataset.

I've found that the gridlets seem to want to have a specific frame box called out in the JSL code though and I was hoping for a better way to deal with it.  I'm sure i can setup a loop to look for the framebox count but isn't there an easier way so the gridlet applies to any number of framebox?

Dispatch({},"Graph Builder",
			FrameBox( 3 ),
			{Set Gridlet(
				Annex(
					{{Matcher( "Link" ), value( :Image_Path[local:_firstRow] ),
					click( Web( Char( :Image_Path[local:_firstRow] ) ) )}}
				)
			)}
		)

Hi @SamKing,

I am glad to learn you are finding this feature useful. You are correct that gridlets (as well as the other hover label customizations introduced in JMP 15.0, textlets and graphlets) take a frame as context and therefore require this frame to be specified.

There is no wild card support, but by using XPath to get a list of all frames in a report and the JSL list broadcast support, you can add your gridlet to all frames using a method that will work for any number of levels in your group-by variable.

Here is a somewhat contrived example that illustrates this idea:

Names Default to Here(1);
dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class Families.jmp");
gb = dt << Graph Builder(
	Variables( X( :name ), Y( :height ), Wrap( :sex ) ),
	Elements( Bar( X, Y, Legend( 5 ) ) )
);
frames = gb << xpath("//FrameBox");
frames << Set Gridlet(
	Annex(
		{{Matcher( "TheName" ), value( :name[local:_firstRow] ),
		click(
			Web( "https://wikipedia.com/wiki/" || :name[local:_firstRow] )
		)}}
	)
)

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
