How Do I Change Scale of X-Axis after using Graph Builder in JSL (and graphing approach question)

ToddKeebler

Hi,

 

I'm writing a script that will work with files that have a variety of columns, so I had to modify an example I found on here which concatenates the Graph Builder call based on the number of columns.  Despite being clumsy, it does seem to work, but my issue is that I then want to change the X-axis to log scale, change the limits, etc.  I tried a few approaches from the Scripting Index and examples, but none seemed to work.

 

Would very much appreciate a pointer in the right direction on the axis settings, but if anybody has an idea of how to do initial graphing portion better, that would be great too, thanks!

 

 

dt = Current Data Table();
ColNameList = dt << Get Column Names (continuous, string);

//Start with initial graph builder
GraphExpr = "
TestGraph = Graph Builder(
	Size( 534, 456 ),
	Show Control Panel( 0 ),
	
	Variables(";
		
//Add X Entry
GraphExpr = GraphExpr || "
		X( :Name( \!"" || ColNameList[1] || "\!") ),";

//Add the first Y entry
GraphExpr = GraphExpr || "
		Y( :Name( \!"" || ColNameList[2] || "\!") ),";

//Add the second Y entry
For( i = 3, i <= N items (ColNameList), i++,
GraphExpr = GraphExpr || "
		Y( :Name( \!"" || ColNameList[i] || "\!"), Position (1) ),";
);


//Close out Variables section
GraphExpr = GraphExpr || "
	),
	Elements( 
		Line( X, Y( 1 )";

//Build out the lines for all columns
For( i = 2, i <= N items (ColNameList), i++,
	GraphExpr = GraphExpr || ", Y( " || char(i) || " )"
);

GraphExpr = GraphExpr || ", Legend( 1 ) 
		) 
	) 
)";

eval(parse(GraphExpr));

TestGraph << Show Legend (0);

All of the messages that change an axis are available in the scripting index entry for AxisBox

What you want to use, is

 

report(TestGraph)[AxisBox(2)] << scale(log);
