It is not clear how you created this plot. Do you have an example that you can share? The data table and graph script would be great.

Thanks,

Phil

Hi Francoise,
It looks like you are using a categorical or ordinal variable type as X axis. If it is the case, the only trick I know that will center each point to the connecting line is to generate a dummy continuous variable to use instead of your current X.

Depending on the complexity and nature of your X variable, you can use the Recode function, the formula Row(), or a more complex formula to generate a continuous dummy X. Of note, make sure that the dummy Xs are numerical continuous

Best regards,

TS

Hi,

you are right, the X axis has the years and months that I have configured as ordinal continuous variables. Maybe JMP RetD could fix it?

I will test your solution.

thank you for your reply.

best regards

Also see if the jitter setting none helps.
