labeling points on PCA Score plot

treebat — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 16:56:01 GMT

I ran a PCA on my data and want to modify the score plot so that I can label each point according to a column value. This seems like a pretty obvious thing to want to do but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. Also, is there a straightforward way to access the plots directly rather than in the tiny window with all the PCA results? I'd appreciate any pointers for this obvious newbie, even just the right words to use to search for help.

Search for "Labeling Rows and Columns" (without the quotes) in the pdf JMP User's Guide. The same info is in the online help but for some reason I can't find it by searching.

Regarding the score plot itself, you can resize it manually so it isn't tiny any more, or do it through scripting.
