Graph Builder Caption box not showing up Axis Table mode

Jackie_ — Thu, 06 Nov 2025 15:05:38 GMT

Hello,

On JMP 19, trying to add a caption box for mean/std dev on Axis Table, but it's not showing up.

Caption box issue from the previous thread

Thanks,

Jackie

Hi @Jackie_, It's not entirely clear what the X axis looks like from the image. Can you confirm that you're graph is something like this?

@Jed_Campbell

I tried on this dataset, using parallel merged config, it doesn't show the Stats text..

Here is the code:

dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Semiconductor Capability.jmp" );


dt << Graph Builder(
	Size( 834, 588 ),
	Show Control Panel( 0 ),
	Variables(
		X( :PNP2, Combine( "Parallel Merged" ) ),
		X( :NPN1, Position( 1 ), Combine( "Parallel Merged" ) ),
		X( :PNP1, Position( 1 ), Combine( "Parallel Merged" ) ),
		X( :PNP2, Position( 1 ), Combine( "Parallel Merged" ) ),
		X( :NPN2, Position( 1 ), Combine( "Parallel Merged" ) ),
		X( :PNP3, Position( 1 ), Combine( "Parallel Merged" ) )
	),
	Elements(
		Histogram( X( 1 ), X( 5 ), X( 2 ), X( 3 ), X( 6 ), Legend( 6 ) ),
		Caption Box(
			X( 1 ),
			X( 2 ),
			X( 3 ),
			X( 4 ),
			X( 5 ),
			X( 6 ),
			Legend( 7 ),
			Summary Statistic( "Mean" ),
			Location( "Axis Table" )
		)
	),
	SendToReport(
		Dispatch( {}, "", ScaleBox,
			{Min( -262.805650205971 ), Max( 1221.55660377358 ), Inc( 200 ),
			Minor Ticks( 3 )}
		)
	)
);

I'm seeing the same behavior as you. It looks like axis tables don't like multiple variables on the X axis. As a workaround, you can stack the variables you want axis tables for, then it will work as you're intending. Script to do this is below.

dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Semiconductor Capability.jmp" );


/*dt << Graph Builder(
	Size( 834, 588 ),
	Show Control Panel( 0 ),
	Variables(
		X( :PNP2, Combine( "Parallel Merged" ) ),
		X( :NPN1, Position( 1 ), Combine( "Parallel Merged" ) ),
		X( :PNP1, Position( 1 ), Combine( "Parallel Merged" ) ),
		X( :PNP2, Position( 1 ), Combine( "Parallel Merged" ) ),
		X( :NPN2, Position( 1 ), Combine( "Parallel Merged" ) ),
		X( :PNP3, Position( 1 ), Combine( "Parallel Merged" ) )
	),
	Elements(
		Histogram( X( 1 ), X( 5 ), X( 2 ), X( 3 ), X( 6 ), Legend( 6 ) ),
		Caption Box(
			X( 1 ),
			X( 2 ),
			X( 3 ),
			X( 4 ),
			X( 5 ),
			X( 6 ),
			Legend( 7 ),
			Summary Statistic( "Mean" ),
			Location( "Axis Table" )
		)
	),
	SendToReport(
		Dispatch( {}, "", ScaleBox,
			{Min( -262.805650205971 ), Max( 1221.55660377358 ), Inc( 200 ),
			Minor Ticks( 3 )}
		)
	)
);*/

dt2 = dt << Stack(
	columns( :PNP2, :NPN2, :NPN1, :PNP1, :PNP3 ),
	Drop All Other Columns( 1 ),
	Output Table( "Stack of Semiconductor Capability (PNP2 etc.)" )
);

dt2 << Graph Builder(
	Size( 658, 558 ),
	Show Control Panel( 0 ),
	Variables( X( :Label ), Y( :Data ) ),
	Elements(
		Histogram( X, Y, Legend( 4 ) ),
		Caption Box(
			X,
			Y,
			Legend( 5 ),
			Summary Statistic( "Mean" ),
			Summary Statistic 2( "Std Dev" ),
			Location( "Axis Table" )
		)
	),
	SendToReport(
		Dispatch( {}, "Data", ScaleBox,
			{Min( 76.197 ), Max( 758.697 ), Inc( 200 ), Minor Ticks( 3 )}
		),
		Dispatch( {}, "Graph Builder", FrameBox,
			{DispatchSeg(
				Hist Seg( "Histogram (NPN1)" ),
				Bin Span( 3, 0, 4.16666666666667 )
			), DispatchSeg(
				Hist Seg( "Histogram (NPN2)" ),
				Bin Span( 3, 0, 4.16666666666667 )
			), DispatchSeg(
				Hist Seg( "Histogram (PNP1)" ),
				Bin Span( 3, 0, 4.16666666666667 )
			), DispatchSeg(
				Hist Seg( "Histogram (PNP2)" ),
				Bin Span( 3, 0, 4.16666666666667 )
			), DispatchSeg(
				Hist Seg( "Histogram (PNP3)" ),
				Bin Span( 3, 0, 4.16666666666667 )
			)}
		)
	)
);

I am aware of stack, but that's not something I am interested in. I would still prefer a wide table considering the massive dataset we have; stacking will increase the row count by 10x.

That's understandable. Perhaps this is a Wish List item?
