Create a Project with a Bookmarks Pane and Log

A more complicated 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(
							Title( "Recent Files" ), // show the Recent Files pane
							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.

Figure 15.2 Example of a Complex Project 

Open the project from another script as follows:

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.
