Bbox Mac OS
bBox is a free plugin for FileMaker from Beezwax. Beezwax just announced version 0.63:
bBox FileMaker external plug-in is a toolbox of functions freely available to all developers. Use it to extend the reach of your Mac OS X-based FileMaker solutions to programs, code libraries, or OS X functions that are normally outside your reach.
SkyFi III is our WiFi-to-Serial/USB adapter, designed for wireless telescope control. If you have a computer-controlled GoTo telescope, SkyFi III can use the WiFi capabilities built into your computer and your iOS or Android device to point your telescope in the sky. Open source cross-platform media center and DVR/PVR frontend software. MeeGo: Nokia, The Linux Foundation: Middleware for smart TV. Now split into Tizen, Mer, and Sailfish OS) (Linux Foundation, Intel, AMD), currently based on a derivative fork of Kodi/XBMC media center software: Mediaroom: Ericsson (formerly Microsoft).
Consisting of more than 22 powerful functions, bBox extends the reach of FileMaker’s existing commands, and adds completely new functionality. This makes it easier to get your projects done, and without the need for ugly workarounds to provide functionality that should be simple…
What can I do with bBox?
- run Perl, PHP, AppleScript, shell, Python and Ruby scripts
- extract email or phone numbers from text
- check if a file is present
- strip duplicate values from a return-delimited list
- present a dialog asking user to select a file or choose from a list of values
- determine if a needed type of data is in the clipboard
- execute a command requiring admin authentication
- schedule execution of scripts down to the millisecond
- and more!
Included in the download is an extensive demo file showing these techniques and more.
You’ll find, as a FileMaker developer, that there are times you need to reach out beyond FileMaker to other systems, such as operating systems, other languages, etc. That is when you will turn to plugins. Thankfully, there are plenty of high quality plugins out there to help.

Sometimes, as part of a quick exploratory data analysis, you may want to make a single plot containing two variables with different scales.
One of the options is to make a single plot with two different y-axis, such that the y-axis on the left is for one variable and the y-axis on the right is for the y-variable.
If you try to plot the two variables on a same plot without having two different y-axis, the plot would not really make sense.
If the variables have very different scales, you’ll want to make sure that you plot them in different twin Axes objects. These objects can share one axis (for example, the time, or x-axis) while not sharing the other (the y-axis).
To create a twin Axes object that shares the x-axis, we use the twinx method.
Let us import Pandas.
We will use gapminder data from Carpentries to make the plot with two different y-axis on the same plot.
Let us subset gapminder data by using Pandas query() function to filter for rows with United States.

We are interested in making a plot of how lifeExp & gdpPercap changes over the years. The variable on x-axis is year and on y-axis we are interested in lifeExp & gdpPercap.
Both lifeExp and gdpPercap have different ranges. lifeExp values are below 100 and gdpPercap values are in thousands.
Naively, let us plot both on the same plot with a single y-axis.
We can immediately see that this is a bad idea. The line for lifeExp over years is flat and really low. We don’t see any variation in it because of the scale of gdpPercap values.
One of the solutions is to make the plot with two different y-axes. The way to make a plot with two different y-axis is to use two different axes objects with the help of twinx() function.

We first create figure and axis objects and make a first plot. In this example, we plot year vs lifeExp. And we also set the x and y-axis labels by updating the axis object.
Next we use twinx() function to create the second axis object “ax2”. Now we use the second axis object “ax2” to make plot of the second y-axis variable and update their labels.
Then we can display the plot with plt.show() as before.
Now we have what we wanted. A plot with with different y-axis made with twinx in matplotlib. This definitely help us understand the relationship of the two variables against another. We can see that both lifeExp and gdpPerCap have increased over the years.

Although a plot with two y-axis does help see the pattern, personally I feel this is bit cumbersome. A better solution to use the idea of “small multiples”, two subplots with same x-axis. We will see an example of that soon.
