Column Switcher Resetting chart and removing script objects

ChiSquareShark9

Hi, Recently (after moving to JMP17) Whenever i use the column switch it resets the charts. removing the legend, reverting the graph size and removing the script object i placed on the graph. this has happened on the variability charts, but also a similar issue happened on contour plots where the column switcher actually duplicated the script object and removed legends. the only way to stop it from doing so was to remove the automatic recalc, this worked for the contour plot but not for other chart analysis.

how can I prevent this from happening and keep all my chart settings and script objects intact while scrolling though the column switcher?

Hi @ChiSquareShark9 - below is an expanded version of the script above that resets the frame sizes each time the column switcher is invoked.  In JMP 17 there is a brief flicker as the frames go back to default size and then are changed back to the desired size.  In JMP 18, there is no flicker and the callback handler is not necessary.  In that case the frame sizes are retained during the new platform launch.

 

NamesDefaultToHere(1);
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Variability Data/2 Factors Crossed.jmp" );
vc = dt << Variability Chart(
	Y( :Measurement ),
	X( :Operator, :part# ),
	Always use column properties( 1 ),
);
cs = vc << Column Switcher( :Measurement, {:Measurement, :Standard} );
Wait(1);
Report(vc)[FrameBox(1)] << Frame Size(400,200);
Report(vc)[FrameBox(2)] << Frame Size(400,200);
Wait(1);
pre = Function( {currentColumn, nextColumn, switcher},
	size1 = Report(vc)[FrameBox(1)] << Get Size;
	size2 = Report(vc)[FrameBox(2)] << Get Size;
);
post = Function( {previousColumn, currentColumn, switcher},
	Report(vc)[FrameBox(1)] << Frame Size(size1[1], size1[2]);
	Report(vc)[FrameBox(2)] << Frame Size(size2[1], size2[2]);
);
handler = cs << Make Column Switch Handler( pre, post );
