Using the Help Function

In Python, help() is a built-in function that provides information about packages, objects, properties, and functions as output to the log. You can use help() with the jmp package, providing a useful way to learn more about jmp package objects, functions, and more without leaving the Python environment.

In this example, help() is used to get information about the jmp.DataTable.name property.

help(jmp.DataTable.name)

//:*/

help(jmp.DataTable.name)

/*:

Help on getset descriptor jmp.DataTable.name:

name

Data table name. [in/out]
