Enhanced laser pointer?

sfigard
Level III

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.

Zoomit also does this functionality on Windows.
