use script to zoom out in bivariate fit

Question

Hi All

I am very new to sas jmp scripts. I have a lot of data that i routinely plot using fit y by x and i use a script for this, however, I manually have to drag the y-axis in the plot to make the graphs look nice and to have a better overview. Is there any way to change the standard scaling of the y-axis, either by a script or in a setting?

Thanks :)

here's some starter code that might help, watch the JMP log window for the showProperties and watch the graph for the <<min(40). The showProperties is probably less helpful than the scripting index but I use it sometimes when I'm hunting for a message.

dt = open("$sample_data/big class.jmp");
biv = dt<<Bivariate(
	Y( :weight ),
	X( :height ),
	Fit Line( {Line Color( {213, 72, 87} )} ),
	SendToReport( Dispatch( {}, "Linear Fit", OutlineBox, {Close( 1 )} ) )
);

ax1 = report(biv)[axisbox(1)];
ax2 = report(biv)[axisbox(2)];

showproperties(ax1);

show( ax1<<getmin, ax1<<getmax, ax2<<getmin, ax2<<getmax );

ax1<<min(40);

Masood,

The script I included in my last response, is just an illustration of a simple case.  It should not be viewed as being a final solution to whatever the specifics are to your particular problem.  The specifics that you provided do not show that what you want can not be done.  It also does not show that what I provided is incorrect.  Your specific requirements are just a more complex implementation.  What you need to do is to take the knowledge you were shown in my example, and expand it to meet the needs of your more complex problem.
