JSL Tip: Multiple Assignments

An often-overlooked feature of the JMP Scripting Language is the ability to assign values to multiple variables in a single assignment statement. A basic example is: // assign 1 to x and 100 to y   {x, y} = {1, 100}; The syntax is especially useful when the values of

Scripting Data in JMP

JMP scripting is an important part of the JMP user experience. Anyone can easily create a reusable JMP "program" with JMP Scripting Language (JSL) by running an analysis, selecting the hotspot (red triangle) at the top of the report, and choosing "Script." From there, you can save a script to

In my previous JSL tip, we saw how it is faster to access matrix items than to list items. It's faster still if you don't have to access the items at all. That is, get JMP's internal code to do the looping and item access instead of doing it in

Opening an Internet Data File

JMP has long had the Internet Open command in the file menu, and similar functionality is available through JSL in JMP 7. Specifically, you can now pass a URL to the Open and Load Text File operators. Here's an example that reads crop data from the USDA site. The result

Colors in JSL

In addition to more color options in the user interface, JMP 7 also adds more robust color control in JSL. JMP's encoding of palette colors as positive numbers has been expanded to encode 24-bit colors as negative numbers. Numbers representing colors in this way are called JSL color values. All
