Re: Why I cannot control the axis setting by JSL?

[Fred Zhang <ieaggie2009@gmail.com>]

Thank you, Mike.

 

Actually I tried to first format the columns in data table, then used Graph Builder script to do plotting.

It did not appear as the way I expected to see.

So I turned to manually control the axis setting in JSL, and could not find the referenc to the X-axis

and Y-axis.

Because, for the legendbox, when I manually did change interactively in Graph Builder and I can view

the script which shows the reference is "400'.

For axis, I could not view their reference number, which may explain why my JSL did not run without

the proper numeric reference to x-axisbox and y-axisbox.

One quick way to get close to what you want: Format the Table Column in JMP as Currency 14.0. Then run your code.

Hi, all

 

I am using Graph Builder to generate a plot.

Attached is the data file, and following is the code.

 

I need to change the x-axis format to be USD Currency 14.0,

and also try to show the major grid of y-axis.

However, the code did not work as the way I expect, that is, both AxisBox do not change at all.

 

Please advise me what's wrong with my code.

 

Thank you so much.

Fred
