Can JMP put the sample number on box plots

I have a simple graph that gives me a series of box plots that that show the concentration of a pollutant by month.  Is there any way to have JMP attach the number of samples that  were analyzed to create each box7243_Clipboard01.jpg

Re: Can JMP put the sample number on box plots

A couple possibilities:

You can put the X variable in Group X and turn on the Caption element, choosing N as the caption statistic:

Or you could make an computed character variable that represents the count and nest it inside of the X variable:

And in case it doesn't go without saying: you can always manually add text annotations or a custom graphics script if you need maximum flexibility.
