Use the Column Switcher message to add a Column Switcher panel to a report window. The Column Switcher lets you quickly analyze different variables without having to re-create your analysis.
// add a Column Switcher to the report
obj << Column Switcher(<default_col>(<col1>, <col2>, ...);
// remove the Column Switcher from a report
obj << Remove Column Switcher();
For example, add the Column Switcher to a Contingency report for the Car Poll.jmp data:
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Car Poll.jmp" );
obj = dt << Contingency(
Y( :size ),
X( :marital status )
);
ColumnSwitcherObject = obj << Column Switcher(
:marital status,
{:sex, :country, :marital status}
);
// number of pixels for the switcher width
ColumnSwitcherObject << Set Size( 200 );
// number of columns to display in the switcher
ColumnSwitcherObject << Set NLines( 6 );
You can also share a Column Switcher between two platform reports:
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Nicardipine.jmp" );
New Window( "Column Switcher Example",
H List Box(
sexCS = dt << Column Switcher( :Sex, {:Sex, :Causality, :Race} ),
nDist = Distribution( Nominal Distribution( Column( :Sex ) ) ),
bar = Graph Builder(
Show Control Panel( 0 ),
Variables( X( :Sex ), Y( :Age ) ),
Elements( Box Plot( X, Y, Legend( 5 ) ) )
)
)
);
sexCS << Link Platform( nDist );
sexCS << Link Platform( bar );
Note: If you are publishing reports that share a Column Switcher to JMP Public or JMP Live, add them to a dashboard instead of using JSL. See Combine and Present Reports Using Dashboards in Using JMP.
