Hi,
I'm almost completely new to JSL, so excuse me if my question appears trivial...
Anyway, I am dealing with a data table that contains processed spectroscopic data, with each line corresponding to one specific spectroscopic XY dataset that are each located in separate .txt files. Now, I want to dynamically generate overlay plots of the raw datasets corresponding to the currently selected cells/rows.
For example, I select rows 2 and 3 and the script opens both corresponding .txt files, updates them into a new temporary data table and generates the overlay plot with the 2 data series. Next time I select rows 6 to 9, and of course now the resulting overlay plot should contain 4 series of data.
My script to do all this works fine up to the point of actually generating the overlay plots in a dynamic fashion.
Simplified, generating the plot looks like this:
Overlay Plot(
X( :Name( "cm-1" ) ),
Y(
parse(plot1),
parse(plot2),
parse(plot3)
),
Connect Points( 1 ),
Show Points( 0 ),
);
With the variables plot1 etc. corresponding to columns in the temporary data table. However, the amount of data series is fixed in this example (3) - and that's where I'm stuck. Can I somehow make that dynamic? So basically have the script change the amount of Y's depending on the number of selected cells/rows?
e.g. Y(parse(plot1)) if there's only one, Y(parse(plot1),parse(plot2),parse(plot3),parse(plot4)) if there is 4?
The plot# variables are already being generated dynamically based on the amount of selected rows. So all I need really is a way to dynamically have the number of entries in the Y() expression correspond to the number of selected rows.
Any help would be highly appreciated!
