Box Plot coloring

Hello JMP community,

I saw already some posts around the topic box plot coloring.

I am lacking the feature in the graph builder that after I used a variable for coloring that I can easily change colors of all e.g. boxplots/points of more than one y variable in one place.

With the first dropping of the variable in the color drop zone, the coloring is applied to all parts of the graphs.

But if one has the need to change the colors afterwards via legend settings (or script) it is a lenghty work.

If there is no other "easy" way I would propose this to the JMP wishlist, since I have not seen any request like that!

Looking forward for a hint!

Ben

This is how it should looked after some manual work:

Here are some examples how to change colors (using Airline Delays data)

Boxplot with Airline in X-axis and Color:

I can change the theme from Graph builder red triangle/Color Settings/Categorical Color Theme:

Or I could create a new Color column (Using my script found from this suggestion: Allow Name Selection In Column be used for multiple selections )

And then I can also use Column Properties in some cases to change the colors:

Hi @jthi,

thanks for the all the ideas.
Best way probably is using the value coloring!

Better than customizing the graphs manually for sure!

I am still learning a lot about what the best way is to approach a solution!
Sometimes you just need a hint to notice the best one!

Thanks again!
