Need help with a script for broadcasting the Y axis lines on Graph Builder when using the "Page" layout function and keeping the Y axis Independant

shampton82

Hey everyone,

While the new ability to stack the panels in Graph Builder is amazing a key to this amazingness is keeping the Y axis Independent of each other.  However, when you have a lot of panels(levels) and want to add in Y axis grid lines you have to do them one by one, which is horrible.  Any ideas on a  script that would allow you to index through each panel and add grid lines independently?

Here you can see I used the old school way of (in the big class dataset) copying the axis settings and broadcasting a paste of them and while it does add in the gridlines it sets all the Y axis ranges to the same as the copied panel settings.

 

Thanks for any ideas!

Use XPath to get reference to the Axisboxes you are interested in (X, Y axis or both) and then do whatever you want with that list of axisboxes. This example enables Major Grid for Y-axis on all the frameboxes

Names Default To Here(1); 

dt = open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp");

gb = dt << Graph Builder(
	Size(893, 542),
	Show Control Panel(0),
	Variables(X(:weight), Y(:height), Page(:age, Levels per Row(3)), Overlay(:sex)),
	Elements(Points(X, Y, Legend(9)))
);

abs = Report(gb) << XPath("//AxisBox");

yaxis = abs[2::NItems(abs)::2];

yaxis << Show Major Grid(1);
