How to permanently change the green color and all JMP graphs ?

Fabrice_L — Sun, 11 Jun 2023 11:09:24 GMT

Hi,

By default, many graphs in jmp (particularly in the graph builder) use a green color, which, I clearly do not like. I can change the color or each graph, but this is not very practical. I know Preferences -> Styles, Preferences -> Style, Preferences -> Platforms, but I can not find a way to change this color... I have asked this question in the past, with no answer. Really, a software like JMP can do so many things but can not change the preference of the default color used in all graphs ?

Thanks for any help. F.

Would Preferences > Graphs > Color Themes (specifically categorical) help?

The Graph and Window Background Colour should do the job

Thanks for your answer, but I don't think this is the solution (unless I miss something). This is a the color theme to represent different values of a categorical variable. I have found in Preferences -> Platforms -> Distributions how to change the default value of the histogram, but this is not the same value used in the graph builder. :(

Thanks for your answer, but this is not the solution. This panel permits to change (for example) the color of the background of a graph, or the color of the background of the window; this works and affect the graph builder (I've tried, see attached image), but the green color of the histogram.

Ah, that color green. I don't know how to find this in the preferences dialog, but trying running this in a JSL script:

Preferences( Histogram Color( blue ) );

I recommend adding this to the JMP Wish List so that it can be tracked and other users can vote on it.

Right click on the legend and select Fill Color to change the color of the Historgram

DOne !

I was looking for a solution to change permanently the color, not for a single graph. The solution has been found (see discussion), but necessitates a JSL script.
Thanks !

You can use the Preferences panel to change the Distribution Histogram color.

But that does not affect the color of the Histogram in the Graph Builder.

My bad, I tried the JSL fragment and it works for the Graph Builder histogram. It is not the same Preference as the one in Distribution, as I thought it was. Apologies.
