Frame Box Messages

Frame Box<<Add Graphics Script(<order>,<description>, <script>)

Description

Adds a script to draw graphics in the frame box.

Optional Arguments

order

Specifies the order in which the graphics elements are drawn. The value can be the keyword "Back" or "Forward" or an integer that specifies the drawing order for a number of graphics element. 1 means the object is drawn first.

description

A quoted string that appears in the Customize Graph window next to the graphics script. The description argument is quoted.

script

A JSL script.

Example

In the following example, the graphics script draws the line first and then draws the other graphics elements: the grid lines, references lines, and markers that create the bivariate plot. Without the 1 order argument, the line is drawn last and covers up the markers.

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

obj = dt << Bivariate( Y( :weight ), X( :height ) );

Report( obj )[FrameBox( 1 )] <<

Add Graphics Script(

	1, // draws the line first

	Description( "Pen Script" ),

	Pen Color( "red" );

	Pen Size( 5 );

	Y Function( 60 + 120 / 2 * (1 + Sine( (2 * Pi() * (x - 50)) / 22.5 )), x );

);

Frame Box<<Make Table of Graphs Like This

Creates a data table of graphs.

Frame Box<<Marker Size(size)

Changes the marker size. The values are 0 (dot), 1 (small), 2 (medium), and so on.

Frame Box<<Row Colors(color)

Frame Box<<Row Markers(marker)

Frame Box<<Row Exclude(Boolean)

Frame Box<<Row Hide(Boolean)

Frame Box<<Row Label(Boolean)

Forwards commands to the data table associated with the report, so that the row states of selected rows can be manipulated. For Row Exclude, Row Hide, and Row Label, omitting the argument toggles the option. If the option is off, the message turns it on. If the option is on, the message turns it off.

frame box<<Set Background Fill(Boolean)

Enables or disables filling the background with the background color. Use this option when you want to paste a graph and make the background transparent.

Example

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

biv = Bivariate( y( weight ), x( height ) );

rbiv = biv << Report;

framebox = rbiv[Frame Box( 1 )];

// set background color

framebox << Background Color( "red" );

// for demonstration purposes: wait to see the color change

Wait( 1 );

// turn off background fill color

framebox << Set Background Fill( 0 );

frame box<<X Axis(<Min(minimum)>, <Max(maximum)>, <Inc(n)>, <named arguments>)

frame box<<Y Axis(<Min(min)>, <Max(max)>, <Inc(n)>, <named arguments>)

Scales the Y coordinate system.
