Plotting packed distribution with equal width (Jitter = 0)

FN — Sun, 11 Jun 2023 11:04:45 GMT

When using violin plots (density), there is an option to have equal widths per variable.

However, I am unable to plot the dot distribution with the same shape as it does not respect the width of each variable.

// Start of script;
Names Default To Here( 1 );
Clear Log();

dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Bands Data.JMP" );

Data Table( "Bands Data" ) << Stack(
	columns( :proof cut, :viscosity, :blade pressure ),
	Source Label Column( "Label" ),
	Stacked Data Column( "Data" ),
	Drop All Other Columns( 1 )
);

Graph Builder(
	Size( 534, 456 ),
	Show Control Panel( 0 ),
	Variables( X( :Data ), Y( :Label ) ),
	Elements(
		Points( X, Y, Legend( 5 ), Jitter( "Packed" ), Jitter Limit( 0 ) ),
		Contour( X, Y, Legend( 6 ), Violin Scaling( "Equal Width" ) )
	)
)

I would like to know how to achieve something like this but for a number of variables.

I like the concept. You should add it to the JMP Wish List

The closest I could come to the chart you want is by removing the Label variable from the Y axis, and making it a Y Grouping variable. Then I changed the marker size to a dot. Finally I changed the aspect ratio of the chart by stretching it making the display taller.

Thanks. So, as it seems this is not possible for JMP 15:

Here is the proposal for those that are interested:
