How do I get the setting for Dec in "Fixed Dec" format in Axis Column Property??

WakuWakuGoku

I need to get the setting for Dec in "Fixed Dec" format in Axis Column property. I can get similar setting, e.g. Max, Min etc by running "get property("Axis")", but cannot get the Dec number. Here is one example of the Axis property info. In this case, I need to get "0", but only "Fixed Dec" is seen, not "5" & "0".

 

Probably we can get it as we like by having proper "character function" like Substr etc, but I suppose we can have it simpler way like we do for the number for "Max", "11" in this case..

 

Sorry if my question above is unclear, but thank you for your support!

 

 

{Format( "Fixed Dec", 5, 0 ), Min( -1 ), Max( 11 ), Inc( 1 ), Minor Ticks( 4 )}

Ah.. I think you running into the problem (or feature) where if you are using "defaults" it won't show you anything. In this case it will work because I set them by script, but if you clear the property and set it as "default" by hand it will return empty list

Names Default To Here(1); 

dt = open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp");
Column(dt, "weight") << Set Property("Axis", {Format("Fixed Dec", 12, 0)});
Column(dt, "height") << Set Property("Axis", {Format("Fixed Dec", 12, 1)});

prop1 = Column(dt, "weight") << Get Property("Axis");
prop2 = Column(dt, "height") << Get Property("Axis");

show(prop1, prop2);

 

So one option is to add some sort of a check for that (if the property isn't set at all it should be Empty() not empty list) and if that matches use the defaults

If(Type(prop) == "List",
	If(N Items(prop) == 0,
		cur_prop = {Format("Fixed Dec", 12, 0)};
	);
);
