Locked Columns are messing up scriptI teach Outlier Box plots and wrote a script to add the entire length of the whisker so I can visually show my class how the whiskers are calculated. The script works great unless my columns are locked. Why would locking the columns impact my script? After the script runs I saved the script to a script window and it is correct, but it will not draw out the whiskers on some groups. Here is my script, I am still working on it, I am using JMP Pro 17.0.0 on a MacBook:

Clear Log();
dt = Current Data Table();
If( Not( Is Scriptable( dt ) ),
// Check that there is a data set open;
// ca=Caption("Please Open Design Data Set", Back Color(yellow));
// Stop();
dtsel = Pick File( "Open File", {"JMP|jmp", "All files|*"} );
If( dtsel == "",
Stop(),
Try( dt = Open( dtsel ), Stop() )
);
);
output = Expr(
dt2 = Data Table( dt ) << Summary(

(1 and 2)

(0 and 1)

Re: Locked Columns are messing up script
The first one has no lines drawn, but when I look at the script for this one, it shows that it should have them. number 7 as a gap and 3 is wrong, here is the script for this exact plot, notice the red lines are not lining up with what is drawn. I have attached my JMP file that I used for this.:
Graph Builder(
Variables( X( :Process Configuration ), Y( :Y ) ),
Elements( Points( X, Y, Legend( 1 ) ), Box Plot( X, Y, Legend( 2 ) ) ),
SendToReport(
Dispatch(
{},
"Y",
ScaleBox,
{Min( 6.36165 ), Max( 36.07175 ), Inc( 5 ), Minor Ticks( 1 )}
),
Dispatch(
{},
"Graph Builder",
FrameBox,
{Add Graphics Script(
13,
Description( "" ),
Pen Color( Red );
Line Style( "Dotted" );
V Line( 1, 13.039, 18.502 );
V Line( 1, 22.144, 27.607 );

Line Style( "Dotted" );
V Line( 2, 7.0685, 16.061 );

15,

Pen Color( Red );
Line Style( "Dotted" );
V Line( 3, 11.772, 17.973 );
V Line( 3, 22.107, 28.308 );

V Line( 4, 21.864, 26.5545 );

Pen Color( Red );
Line Style( "Dotted" );
V Line( 5, 13.529, 18.002 );

);Re: Locked Columns are messing up scriptIf I copy the table I sent you into a new table without locked columns it works. How do you modify the "index" of the line? I have other files with locked columns and they do not work either.
Re: Locked Columns are messing up scriptThe lines are shifted by one (I think with Nominal/ordinal data X-axis starts from 0


You can modify this part of your script
For(i = 1, i <= meanno, i++,
Show(LWhis[i]);
Show(UWhis[i]);
Eval(
Eval Expr(
gbr[Framebox(1)] << Add graphics Script(
Pen Color(Red);
Line Style("Dotted");
V Line(Expr(i), Expr(LWhis[i]), Expr(Q25[i]));
V Line(Expr(i), Expr(Q75[i]), Expr(UWhis[i]));
);
)
);
);
Easiest is most likely to add i-1 inside the V Line(Expr()).
Re: Locked Columns are messing up scriptI did try changing my nominal column to numeric/continuous to see if it would work and it did not. The only thing that would work was copying it into another table, so that it why I assumed it was the locked columns. I am not sure why it did not work, but when I added an if statement to look for whether or not the modeling type was nominal or continuous and added your suggestion, it did work. So I am still confused, but got it working. Thank you! I do not think I would have figured that out since I did try to convert it to numeric/continuous and it did not work.
