In Pharma and Biotech, there was a time when "foils" and 35mm slides were the standard for presentations. Most of the time these slides had dark backgrounds and light colored text and figures. IMHO this format looked great. Well, times have changed and now the most common format is exactly the opposite and this is reflected in the default settings. The old-school look can be yours again, and a little JSL makes it easy.
The script here formats a Bivariate plot and a Graph Builder plot. Note that both platforms require different messages., and I have a sneaking suspicion that every platform will be a little different. A key to formatting othre platforms will be to use the tree structure to find references to where text lives, then use a little trial and error to figure out what parts to send messages to.
This works in JMP 12 with default preferences. I think older versions might work a little differently, and hopefully a future version will have a white text/dark background option.
