Add Graphics Elements to a Report
Transparency Changes the marker or label transparency. Enter the level of transparency to draw markers
(points) on the graph. The degrees of opacity ranges from 0 (clear) to 1 (opaque). For more information
about changing the transparency of markers, see “Specify Marker Transparency” on page 284.
Create Scripts for Graphical Elements
In addition to customizing graphical elements, you can write JSL scripts that add elements. These scripts
run when you display the graph. You can write the scripts from scratch, or you can select from the following
lists of commands and scripts, accessed by clicking on the Add a new script button :
• Use the Templates list to insert a single JSL command. For example, the Polygon option inserts the
Polygon command. The text enclosed in underscores are placeholders for point values, which you
replace with your own values.
Polygon([_x0_, _x1_, ... ], [_y0_, _y1_, ...]);
• Use the Samples list to insert a script that creates elements such as bubble plots and sine waves. In this
list, the Polygon option shows examples of the Transparency, Fill Color, and Polygon values, which you
replace with your own values.
Figure 9.34 The Polygon Sample Script
In some graphs, you can view the JSL that creates graphical elements. Figure 9.35 shows the Group Label
script for a Discriminant Analysis graph. The script defines markers and text for group labels. The
commands included in these built-in scripts cannot be modified or deleted. You can insert commands from
the Templates or Samples list, but you cannot click in the window and type new commands.
