Create a Project with a Bookmarks Pane and Log

A more complicated JMP project might include a Bookmarks pane (to show file, folders, and groups that use frequently), and a project log. The data table and output are in separate tabs.

Begin by creating a new project and creating a bookmark.

project = New Project();
project << Add Bookmarks({
	File( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" )
});

Run Script opens the data table and creates output inside the project.

project << Run Script(
	Open(
		"$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp",
		Set Window ID( "data" ) // unique window ID
	);
	Distribution(
		Set Window ID( "distrib" ),
		Continuous Distribution( Column( :weight ) ),
		Nominal Distribution( Column( :age ) )
	);
	Graph Builder(
		Set Window ID( "graphbuilder" ),
		Size( 443, 409 ),
		Show Control Panel( 0 ),
		Fit to Window( "Maintain Aspect Ratio" ),
		Variables( X( :age ), Y( :height ), Y( :weight ) ),
		Elements( Position( 1, 1 ), Line( X, Y, Legend( 1 ) ) ),
		Elements( Position( 1, 2 ), Bar( X, Y, Legend( 2 ) ) )
	);
);

Set Layout specifies the layout of the tabs that show the data table and output.

project << Set Layout(
	V Splitter Box(
		Size( 1215, 700 ),
		<<Set Sizes( {0.77, 0.23} ),
		<<Dockable(),
		V Splitter Box(
			Size( 1215, 540 ),
			<<Set Sizes( {1} ),
			<<Dockable(),
			H Splitter Box(
				Size( 1215, 540 ),
				<<Set Sizes( {0.11, 0.42, 0.47} ),
				<<Dockable(),
				V Splitter Box(
					Size( 128, 540 ),
					<<Set Sizes( {0.33, 0.33, 0.33} ),
					<<Dockable(),
					Tab Page Box(
						Title( "Window List" ), // show the Window List
						Window ID( "Window List" )
					),
					Tab Page Box(
						Title( "Bookmarks" ), // show the Bookmarks pane
						Window ID( "Bookmarks" )
					),
					Tab Page Box(
			// show the Recent Files pane
						Title( "Recent Files" ),
						Window ID( "Recent Files" )
					)
				),
				Tab Page Box( // show the data table
					Title( "Big Class" ),
					Window ID( "data" )
				),
				Tab Box(
					<<Dockable(),
					Tab Page Box( // show the Distribution graph and reports
						Title( "Big Class - Distribution" ),
						Window ID( "distrib" )
					),
					Tab Page Box( // show the Graph Builder graph
						Title( "Big Class - Graph Builder" ),
						Window ID( "graphbuilder" )
					)
				)
			)
		),
		Tab Page Box( Title( "Log" ), Window ID( "Log" ) )
	)
);

Save saves the project.

// if the project has already been saved, the Save message

// with no argument saves the file to the existing location

project << Save( "$DOCUMENTS/Big Class.jmpprj" );

Note: If you're saving a project with unsaved documents in JSL, the project doesn't close and you get a log message that the project has unsaved documents. All files in a project must be saved or closed before the project can be saved. However, if you interactively save a project with unsaved documents, you are prompted to save the documents.

Example of a Complex Project

Open the project from another script:

project = Open( "Big Class.jmpprj" );

In this example, the script that you are running to open the project is in the same folder as the project.
