How to add graphic script when X axis is character and nominal while Y is numeric

ram

Names Default To Here( 1 );
Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
Oneway( Y( :height ), X( :sex ) ,
			SendToReport(
		
		Dispatch(
			{},
			"Oneway Plot",
			FrameBox,
			{Frame Size(702, 300 ),
			Add Graphics Script(
				2,
				Description( "Script" ),
				Pen Color( "Red" );
				Pen Size( 1 );
				Marker Size( 5 );
				Marker( 4, {5, 60} );
			)})))

I am having trouble, in adding marker for oneway plot. X-axis is nominal and character. Above is just an example. but X axis can have multiple character nominal values like A,B,C,D...... Could any one suggest how to align multiple markers with multiple x axis nominal values?

Thanks

There are two modes to the X axis in oneway, depending on whether you have the X Axis Proportional option turned on or not. It's on by default.

With the proportional X axis, think of the scale being from 0 to nrows with each categorical level taking up its row count. So in the Big Class example there are 18 females and 22 males, so F goes from 0 to 18 and M goes from 18 to 40. To place a marker in the middle of the F area, set X to 18/2 = 9.

 

With a non-proportional X axis, the scale goes from 0 to nlevels.
