Enhanced laser pointer?

sfigard — Sun, 11 Jun 2023 11:22:05 GMT

In a recent webinar (on categorical data analysis) the speaker was using a laser pointer that drew rectangles and arrows and not just freehand lines. This was very handy and would enhance my teaching presentations in biostatistics classes. So, is this a feature available now in JMP 16, an upcoming feature in JMP 17, or a Mac OS utility of which I am unaware?

Hi @sfigard ,

I believe the presenter was using an external app from DemoPro.

It is a MacOS app but probably something similar would be available for other platforms.

This might be a good suggestion to add to the JMP Wish List.

Ah, thank you. I was afraid of that. And I'm on a Windows PC. Oh, well, let's see what we can find on that wonderful thing we call the Internet! Thanks again.

Go to Files > Preferences > Report > Laser Point = <pick your color>
Hit Ok or Apply and now when you press and hold your mouse, you'll be able to draw in JMP.

Zoomit also does this functionality on Windows.
