How to set label color for graph builder?

RMSEBird223 — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 06:25:44 GMT

Hi all, I was wondering whether it is possible to set the label color independently of the data point color. I would like all labels to be black, meaning that the labels JACLYN, LOUISE, KATIE, and JANE should be black instead of blue, while the data points themselves should remain blue. Is this possible? Thanks!

Code for generating the plot:

dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
dt << Clear Select << Select Rows( Index( 1, 4 ) ) << Colors( "Blue" ) << Clear Select;
dt:name << Label( 1 );

dt << Graph Builder(
	Variables( X( :age ), Y( :weight ) ),
	Elements( Points( X, Y, Legend( 5 ) ) ),
	SendToReport(
		Dispatch( {}, "Graph Builder", FrameBox,
			{DispatchSeg( Marker Seg( 1 ), Set Force Labels( "Label by Row" ) )}
		)
	)
);

Hi @RMSEBird223 ,

There's a preference form marker label color style and marker label fixed color.

I hope this helps,
