How to use a column dialog list for column switcher?

atrautmann

Hello everyone,

I want to create a script where a list of columns is selected in a column dialog and, later on, appears in the column switcher of graph builder.

The column name is unspecific in order to use the script for different data tables. I started to write a small code, however, in this version the "column switcher columns" need to be selected by the user manually after closing the column dialog. I am quite new to JSL and would appreciate some help to solve this problem.

 

 

Names Default to Here(1);
dt = Current Data Table() << Get Column Names;

cd = Column Dialog(
	colx  = ColList( "X",  Max Col( 1 ), Modeling Type( "Continuous" ) ),
	coly  = ColList( "Y",  Min Col( 1 ), Modeling Type( "Continuous" ) ),);

Graph Builder(
	Size( 400, 300 ),
	Show Control Panel( 0 ),
	Variables( X( colx[1] ), Y( coly[1] ) ),
	Elements( Line( X, Y, Legend( 3 ) ) ),
	
	Column Switcher( coly[1] ) <BR />);

The Column Dialog requires a unique method for retrieving the values from the Window.  The following script is a rework of your script adding in the Column Switcher etc.

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Current Data Table() << Get Column Names;

cd = Column Dialog(
	colx = ColList( "X", Max Col( 1 ), Modeling Type( "Continuous" ) ),
	coly = ColList( "Y", Min Col( 1 ), Modeling Type( "Continuous" ) ),

);
colx = cd["colx"];
coly = cd["coly"];

Graph Builder(
	Size( 400, 300 ),
	Show Control Panel( 0 ),
	Variables( X( colx[1] ), Y( coly[1] ) ),
	Elements( Line( X, Y, Legend( 3 ) ) ),
	Column Switcher( coly[1], coly )
);
