Creating Contour Map To Highlight River Systems

MikeDereviankin

Hi all, 

 

I am looking to constrain my contour map attached within this discussion post to only the river system within the map for the parameter controlling color. I understand that adjusting the alpha may constrain the area, but it does not accurately reflect the river system. An example of what I want to accomplish is attached within this email. 

 

Do I have to create a custom map as per (https://www.jmp.com/support/help/ipad/Create_a_Custom_Map.shtml) or is there another way that I can outline the river systems I am interested in? For instance can I add more points along the river to help for the alpha? 

Let me know if you need anymore details. 

 

Thanks!

You should probably make your own clip shape. Probably with some hard coded lat/lon values in a path. 

tell a segment in a graph to clip to a region

dt=open("$sample_data/cities.jmp");
dt<<Graph Builder(
	Size( 1401, 943 ),
	Show Control Panel( 0 ),
	Variables( X( :Longitude ), Y( :Latitude ) ),
	Elements( Points( X, Y, Legend( 3 ) ) ),
	SendToReport(
		Dispatch(
			{},
			"Longitude",
			ScaleBox,
			{Format( "Longitude DMM", "PUNDIR", 16, 1 ), Min( -79.2168192501673 ),
			Max( -77.9895685253635 ), Inc( 0.2 ), Minor Ticks( 0 )}
		),
		Dispatch(
			{},
			"Latitude",
			ScaleBox,
			{Format( "Latitude DMM", "PUNDIR", 16, 2 ), Min( 35.357738544198 ),
			Max( 36.1836060907719 ), Inc( 0.05 ), Minor Ticks( 0 )}
		),
		Dispatch(
			{},
			"Graph Builder",
			FrameBox,
			{Background Map(
				Images( "Street Map Service" ),
				Boundaries( "US Counties" )
			), Grid Line Order( 3 ), Reference Line Order( 4 ),
			DispatchSeg(
				MapSeg( 1 )
				//,{Clip Shape( Boundaries( "US Counties", ID( "Wake County, NC" ) ) )}
				,{Clip Shape( Path("
				M -78.95 36.05 
				L -79.13 35.89 
				L -78.47 35.71 Z") ) }
			)}
		)
	)
);

The clip shape can be applied to any segment. Use right-click->Customize to figure out which segments you want. Above I made a triangle clip around three cities in NC. The path string is easier to read than the matrix.
