Identifying Titles of Graph Builder Page Titles

In the following graph, I want to be able to identify the page titles:

i.e. "sex = F" and "sex = M".

 

Looking at the display tree it would appear that the titles are associated with a display box of type GraphBuilderGroupBox:

 

I have the following script:

Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp");

gb = Graph Builder(
 Size( 378, 714 ),
 Show Control Panel( 0 ),
 Show Legend( 0 ),
 Variables( X( :height ), Y( :weight ), Page( :sex ) ),
 Elements( Points( X, Y, Legend( 8 ) ), Smoother( X, Y, Legend( 9 ) ) )
);
rep = gb << report;

lst = rep << xpath("//GraphBuilderGroupBox");
for (i=1,i<=nitems(lst),i++,
 title = lst[i] << get text;
)

Unfortunately this doesn't work (title = "" for both pages).

 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

 

David

This is one element I havent figured out how to directly access with Report layer or Xpath //GraphBuilderGroupBox << Get Window Title issue . Not sure if they could be built somehow using Get Variables

Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp");

gb = Graph Builder(
 Size( 378, 714 ),
 Show Control Panel( 0 ),
 Show Legend( 0 ),
 Variables( X( :height ), Y( :weight ), Page( :sex ) ),
 Elements( Points( X, Y, Legend( 8 ) ), Smoother( X, Y, Legend( 9 ) ) )
);
gbb = Report(gb)[Graph Builder Box(1)];
Show(gbb << get variables);
Show(gbb << get variable(1));

Wow! That is one uncooperative box! Try using rep<

 

@XanGreggthe box in question transforms itself into something friendlier when journaled. But in isolation, in the live graph builder, it won't say anything about itself.

Re: Identifying Titles of Graph Builder Page Titles

For page, group, and wrap variables you can set a column property defining the value order and then use that to be sure of which plot is which.  I often want to change the column or level names anyway and now this can all be done in a transform column:

 

 

Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp");

pageOrder = {"Female", "Male"};

Eval( Eval Expr(
 gb = Graph Builder(
  Size( 378, 714 ),
  Show Control Panel( 0 ),
  Show Legend( 0 ),
  Variables(
   X( :height ),
   Y( :weight ),
   Page( Transform Column( "Respondent Sex", Nominal, Set Property("Value Order", {Custom Order( Expr( pageOrder ))}), Formula( if(:sex=="M", "Male", "Female" ) ) ) )
  ),
  Elements( Points( X, Y, Legend( 8 ) ), Smoother( X, Y, Legend( 9 ) ) )
 )
) );

Side note: The GraphBuilderGroupBox you referenced probably does not contain that text, note that if you set the visibility to hidden the heading is still there. I think this element just doesn't show up in the tree, sort of like how individual points aren't in there.  It would be nice if both were accessible!

 

Re: Identifying Titles of Graph Builder Page Titles

Thanks for that suggestion @ih . The specific reason for wanting to get the titles of the pages is that I don't know ahead of time the list of potential values (i.e. pageOrder in this example).  In the real-world example the chart has over 400 pages (don't ask me why anyone wants a chart that size!) and the number of pages changes in reason to a local data filter.  If all else fails I will go back to trying to build that list - for my initial attempt my list contained about 460 elements and the graph only had 407 pages - perhaps some combinations were being excluded due to missing data - I've not investigated that yet - still trying to find the path of least resistance!

Thanks @Craige_Hales  - looks like this will be a workable solution.
