Graph builder Frame size JSL

vishwasanj

Hi All,

This might be an easy and quick fix. But I kinda struggling to find the right way to do it.

I am trying to figure out how to have a consistent frame size with all graphs in graphs builder and consistent legend settings. I run a FOR loop having numerical values at the end of data table. It could range from 1 to many columns and I try to plot all the columns in Y axis.

The main discrepancy occurs when the Y axis has only one parameter, that legend doesn't show up but having 2 or more parameters, the legend automatically shows up and I don't have to write a separate JSL command for it. Because of that, each graph looks different because of the lack of space in legend settings.

Any idea on how to resolve this?

Thank you

The size argument and their parameters can be used to define and limit the size of your windows as shown in the example below .

Graph Builder(
	Size( 1230, 650 ),
	Show Control Panel( 0 ),
	Variables( X( :age ), Y( :height ), Y( :weight ) ),
	Elements( Position( 1, 1 ), Line( X, Y, Legend( 1 ) ) ),
	Elements( Position( 1, 2 ), Bar( X, Y, Legend( 2 ) ) )
)

This does not work. The FRAME SIZE is dependent on the size of the legend / text areas around the FRAME.

txnelson

The Size element sest the Frame(FrameBox()) size.

It does not set the GraphBuilderContainerBox()

Which is what I am guessing you expected the size to be set for.

ErraticAttack

That is the opposite of what I want -- I need the FrameBox() only to be the specified size. Here is some example code illustrating this. The Size( 500, 500 ) is fed to both, but clearly the FrameBox() size is very much not (500, 500).

As a matter of fact, it's not even the GraphBuilderContainerBox() that you show that is set to the given size -- you first must remove the LegendBox(), then the remaining (title / axes / axes headers) is set to the (500,500) size. It is just ridiculous!

There is literally no way to set the FrameBox() (as in, if you had this within an Outline Box( "", Graph Builder( ... ) ) and did Outline Box[Frame Box( 1 )] << Frame Size( 500, 500 )) BEFORE / DURING instantiation of the GraphBuilder() box. It can ONLY be done after the window and graph has been created.

Names Default To Here( 1 );
Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Cars.jmp" );
New Window( "TEST",
	H List Box(
		Graph Builder(
			Size( 500, 500 ),
			Show Control Panel( 0 ),
			Fit to Window( "Off" ),
			Variables(
				X( :Make ),
				X( :Model, Position( 1 ) ),
				X( :Year, Position( 1 ) ),
				X( :Protection, Position( 1 ) ),
				X( :"D/P"n, Position( 1 ) ),
				X( :Size, Position( 1 ) ),
				X( :Doors, Position( 1 ) ),
				Y( :Wt ),
				Color( :Model )
			),
			Elements(
				Bar(
					X( 1 ),
					X( 2 ),
					X( 3 ),
					X( 4 ),
					X( 5 ),
					X( 6 ),
					X( 7 ),
					Y,
					Legend( 9 )
				)
			)
		)
	,
		Graph Builder(
			Size( 500, 500 ),
			Show Control Panel( 0 ),
			Fit to Window( "Off" ),
			Variables( X( :Make ), Y( :Wt ) ),
			Elements( Bar( X, Y, Legend( 11 ), Error Interval( "Standard Error" ) ) ),
			SendToReport(
				Dispatch(
					{},
					"Graph Builder",
					FrameBox,
					{Grid Line Order( 1 ), Reference Line Order( 2 )}
				)
			)
		)
	)
)

What I need is for the area that has the chart (the FrameBox()) to be a given fixed size, independent of what size my axis are or how complicated and long the text is.

Hi vishwasanj,
I encounter this issue as well. Share my solution with you although it may not a efficient way.

For simplicity I explain the X-axis(horizontal direction) only.

Given that a standard template Framebox size is 500, whole graph size is 535. That means we have size that not belongs to Framebox is 35.

Then, we have a graph generated by some of an for-loop, after assigning framesize=500, the wholesize=550.

Then, considering these graph will export as fixed total size png, if we have same framesize to wholesize ratio, we can have same frame size.

This is to say, we can add 'dx' to the previous graph to make the ratio same.

500:535=(500+dx):(550+dx+dx2),
where dx2 is axis length increase after dx is applied.

However, in my experience, dx2 is basically negilbible.

Thus, we can resize the 550 width pictures with frame size=500+dx, where
500:535=(500+dx):(550+dx).

After export as a similar size png, we can have same frame size pics.

Take a look at my post, hope it can help you.
