Possible to have different row legends on different charts from the same data table?

Question

JMP 12 seems to have no ability to make row legends unique to charts, instead it is applies across all charts for a given data table. This seems to be because it saves row legend info as a layer on the DT instead of the chart. Is there some way around this besides duplicating data tables for each chart that needs a unique legend?

Many thanks in advance

Yes I plan to script them. I was hoping you knew the script for setting a row state and then applying it to the row legend.

I still fear however that multiple graphs from the same data table won't be able to use different row legends just because you've added row state columns.

First of all, to understand row states, see Help > Books > Using JMP, Chapter 5. Also, Appendix A has a section about the row state functions that will be useful.

Second of all, to script these actions, see Help > Books > Scripting Guide, Chapter 9.

Thanks for the points. I understand the usefulness of having symbols and colors popular all graphs but I also see equally useful the ability to not do that. So I think it should be an option. It's come up many times in my group here at Intel where we are plotting lots of different columsn against each other in various ways.

Could you give me more details on the row state data? What is the jsl script for saving row state to a column and how does that get used for unique legends?
