Variables in Graphics Script

Jazib

Hi everyone.

 

I have variables in my graphics script. I can't post the exact script but I have something like:

 

temp = Expr(

// Graphics Script with variables, I have wrapped these variables around Eval()

);

...

Add Graphics Script (temp);

 

The issue is that the graphics script doesn't work when the window updates. I looked at the script using "Customize" and it just shows "temp".

 

So I tried:

framebox << Add Graphics Script(Eval Expr(temp));
framebox << Add Graphics Script(Eval(Eval Expr(temp)));

 

as well as a few other things but nothing worked. I also tried directly putting the graphics script without the Expr and temp in the <<Add Graphics Script message but that gives errors because it has variables unknown to the framebox.

 

I am using the first method in the Accepted solution to this: Adding & Removing Graphics Scripts 

 

I wanted to use the second but it didn't work because it assumes constants and I have variables.

 

Also looked at this but it didn't help: https://www.jmp.com/support/notes/55/553.html

 

Tried my best to give as many details as possible but sorry I can't post the code!

 

One last note is that this is all inside a Class method. Not sure if that makes a difference in this case.

 

Does anyone know a solution?

 

Thank you.

Check out the article below for a few ways to accomplish this.  You are on the right track, but you need to construct it like this:

 

Eval( Eval Expr(
  framebox << Add Graphics Script( Expr( temp ) )
) );

Insert one expression into another using Eval Insert, Eval Expr, Parse, and Substitute
