Set Title of Graph Builder Charts

PatB

I've written a script in JMP 18 which creates line charts in rows of 3 using 'graph builder', 'fit group'.  Basically, the tables contain measure values for 'analytes' in multiple 'bioreactors' over multiple 'time points'.  In JMP 18 I get a title for each chart, but a colleague using JMP 17 finds that the title is missing which renders the chart meaningless. I'm completely stumped!  Any suggestions as to what I can do to add a title?

 

Here's the script:

 

newWindow = New Window(reportName, tb = Tab Box());
	//loop through the dataTables and add tab page box for each with a local data filter for dilution factor on left, and line charts on the right
	for( i = 1, i <= NItems(dataTables), i++,
		tb << Add(
			Tab Page Box(
						Title(dataTables[i] << get name),
						Data Filter Context Box(
							H List Box(
								dataTables[i] << Data Filter(
											Local,
											Add Filter( columns( :Dilution Factor, :Type ) ),
											Mode( Select( 1 ), Show( 1 ), Include( 1 ) )
										),
								V List Box(
									dataTables[i] << Fit Group(
										
										Graph Builder(
											Size( 300, 300 ),
											Show Control Panel( 0 ),
											Variables( 
												X( :Time point ), 
												Y( :"Mean(Value)"n ),
												Overlay( :Vessel )
											),
											Elements( Line( X, Y, Legend( 20 ) ) ),
											By( :Analyte )
										),
										<<{Arrange in Rows( 3 )}
									)
								)		
							)
						)
			)
		)
	);
	tb << set selected(1);

In JMP 17 the title highlighted with the red arrow is missing for each chart:

As @jthi points out, the data filter is one source of the differences.  The way that Fit Group responds to the data filter has changed in JMP 18+.

 

Another big difference between JMP 17 and JMP 18 is the addition of the Group Platform for by-groups.  In JMP 18, this new platform has layout options similar to Fit Group.  In JMP 17 you could replace the Fit Group by a Line Up Box for the layout.  Combining the two together, this script works reasonably well for me in both:

dataTables = EvalList({
	Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp"),
	Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class Families.jmp")
});
newWindow = New Window("Reports", tb = Tab Box());
//loop through the dataTables and add tab page box for each with a local data filter for dilution factor on left, and line charts on the right
for( i = 1, i <= NItems(dataTables), i++,
	tb << Add(
		Tab Page Box(
					Title(dataTables[i] << get name),
					Data Filter Context Box(
						H List Box(
							dataTables[i] << Data Filter(
										Local,
										Add Filter( columns( :sex ) )
									),
							V List Box(
								 Line Up Box(NCol(3),		
									dataTables[i] << Graph Builder(
										Size( 300, 300 ),
										Show Control Panel( 0 ),
										Variables( 
											X( :height ), 
											Y( :weight )
										),
										Elements( Line( X, Y, Legend( 20 ) ) ),
										By( :age ),
										Group Options( Layout( "Arrange in Rows", N Across( 3 ) ) )
									)
								)
							)		
						)
					)
		)
	)
);
tb << set selected(1);

The layout between 17/18 will be different - in JMP 17 the LineUpBox is managing the grid, while in JMP 18 the Group Platform manages the layout, and all the LineUpBox only has 1 child.

 

Your other option might be to use the Wrap role in Graph Builder rather than using By, but that would give you shared axes and legend, which you may not want.
