Appending reports to windows

Hi,

I put a platform in HlistBox (or some other box) while creating it and then I append this box to the window. Is this the ideal way? Is there some "general box" instead of Hlistbox to use?

I need to append AFTER creating and editing the object.

Thanks.

dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
New Window("EX",
 hlis = HList box()
);

biv_obj1 = dt << Bivariate( Y( :Weight ), X( :Height ) );
//Running some editing on the object
//And then adding to the window
hlis << Append (biv_obj1);//Fail - not a display box

//Putting bivariate into Hlistbox for appending only
biv_box = Hlist Box( biv_obj2 = dt << Bivariate( Y( :Weight ), X( :Height ) ));
hlis << Append(biv_box);//OK

You seem to have a good handle on a good approach.  What you are doing is typically the way that I go.  But sometimes it does work out better to append the platform to the display window and to make the edits required after the append.

Thank you Jim

1. Adding as report disconnects the report from the data

2. Adding while creating is fine, but I need to append after I finish to create the platform and running some edits on it

Re: Appending reports to windows

I have annotated a script, with a couple of items to ponder concerning your question.

names default to here(1);
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
New Window("EX",
 hlis = HList box()
);

// You can create stand alone platform objects, making them invisible or not, 
// and then append their report object 
biv_obj1 = dt << Bivariate(invisible, Y( :Weight ), X( :Height ) );
hlis << Append (Report(biv_obj1));
// This method appends a static version of the platform's output display. 
// That is, most red triangle options are not available. 

//This method works fine, but is more complex than it has to be
biv_box = Hlist Box( biv_obj2 = dt << Bivariate( Y( :Weight ), X( :Height ) ));
hlis << Append(biv_box);

// Platforms can be directly appended to objects within a display window.
hlis << append(biv_obj2 = dt << Bivariate( Y( :Weight ), X( :Height ) ));
