Graph builder: can we plot X-axis data unsorted?

nuka_cola9 — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 15:54:05 GMT

Hello, three questions for legacy overlay plot (LOP) vs graph builder (GB), please.

Q1) with LOP there is the option to uncheck "sort x". Example data below, where I'm looking to plot points on a circle and connect the points. Is there an equivalent to do that in GB? I believe I tried most of the GB options but must have missed it.

Q2) LOP has option to "Connect points". For GB, I found the closest would be to enable smoother, with smallest Lambda. Is there an equivalent?

Q2) with LOP I could put multiple columns in the "By" role. In GB I could only ever put one column in the "By" role. Am I again missing something?

Thank you in advance for feedback!

(P.S. also noted JMP18 still supports JSL implementation of LOP, but the Scripting Index removed all references to it :D )

You can enable row order and use line plot with the points

With graph builder you can for example use Overlay, Page or By. By can be found from Control Panel / Redo / Relaunch analysis

Thank you!! TIL about the Line row order option!

Also to share about using the Shift key to enable both "Line" and "Points" together!

That shift thing is mentioned here https://www.jmp.com/support/help/en/18.0/#page/jmp/example-of-an-area-and-line-chart.shtml . You can also drag and drop those different types of graphs to the specific areas from the "graph" toolbar
