Transparency for Overlay Group?

hogi — Thu, 10 Apr 2025 05:23:21 GMT

Hi,

I want to reduce the visibility of a specific Overlay Group in Graph Builder. This can be done via the Transparency option:

In my next example, I use the column height to specify the color of the data points.

I can adjust the Transparency via the Female legend entry - this transparency doesn't have any effect. And I can adjust Transparency via the right click menu of the gradient - but this will affect both Overlay groups ...
How can I adjust the transparency of the Female Overlay group?

Names Default to Here(1);
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class Families.jmp" );
dt << Graph Builder(
	Variables(
		X( :age ),
		Y( :weight ),
		Overlay( :sex, Overlay Encoding( "Style" ) ),
		Color( :height )
	),
	Elements( Points( X, Y, Legend( 10 ) ) ),
	SendToReport(
		Dispatch( {}, "400", ScaleBox,
			{Legend Model(
				10,
				Properties(
					1,
					{Marker( "FilledCircle" ), Marker Size( 6 ), Transparency( 0.5 )},
					Item ID( "F", 1 )
				),
				Properties(
					2,
					{Marker( "FilledSquare" ), Marker Size( 6 )},
					Item ID( "M", 1 )
				)
			)}
		)
	)
);

nice workaround from JMP support: TS-00198153
use row states, they don't interfere with the possibility to control the appearance for different overlay groups.

dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class Families.jmp" );
// Color or mark by column
Data Table( "Big Class Families" ) << Color or Mark by Column(
	:height,
	Color Theme( "Spectral" ),
	Marker( 0 ),
	Continuous Scale( 1 )
);
dt << Graph Builder(
	Size( 437, 453 ),
	Show Control Panel( 0 ),
	Variables( X( :age ), Y( :weight ), Overlay( :sex ) ),
	Elements( Points( X, Y, Legend( 6 ) ) ),
	SendToReport(
		Dispatch( {}, "400", ScaleBox,
			{Legend Model(
				6,
				Properties(
					0,
					{Line Color( 0 ), Marker( "FilledCircle" ), Transparency( 0.2 )},
					Item ID( "F", 1 )
				),
				Properties(
					1,
					{Line Color( 0 ), Marker( "FilledSquare" )},
					Item ID( "M", 1 )
				)
			)}
		),
		Dispatch( {}, "Graph Builder", FrameBox,
			{Marker Size( 5 ), Marker Drawing Mode( "Normal" ),
			Marker Selection Mode( "Selected Outlined" )}
		)
	)
);
