Variability chart: connect cell means across groups

gandi2223 — Sun, 05 Apr 2020 15:26:36 GMT

In a variability chart, when "Connect Cell Means" is selected, no line is drawn from one cell to the next cell in the neighbouring group:

Is this possible? I.e. drawing a line from the mean of One:Third to the mean of Two:First?

Thanks,

When it comes to JMP, there is almost always a way to do what you want. In this case, the only way I know to do what you are asking, is to add a customization to the graph using JSL.

The JSL I developed is quite hardcoded. I did that to keep the code simple and to just let you know the approach that can be used to develop a more generic solution. If you are not familiar with JSL, you will need to do some reading of the Scripting guide.

I have attached your data table, with a new Script added to it

Thanks lots for the quick reply, Jim.

What I was looking for is actually slightly simpler, namely to connect the last dataset in one group to the first in the next, i.e. something like this (manually drawn in the screengrab below):

I appreciate that this could be achieved by some JMP scripting as well, I was just wondering if there was an easier way to do it (ideally a checkbox "Connect means across groups").

I can achieve the same without scripting by adding another column where I combine A and B:

This works too - but again, not quite the perfect or most elegant solution!

Thanks,

Marcus
