Graph Builder Box Plot 5 Number Summary Too Far Right

Created: Feb 23, 2021 09:33 AM  |  Last Modified: Jun 11, 2023 4:11 AM (941 views)

In graph building, the box plot 5 number summary is a nice feature.  But many times it is shifted too far right so the numbers are not completely readable.  Changing the width of the category/X doesn't help:

Only Category 5 displays correctly because it's on the left side of the X within the group

Is your x axis (Category, a continuous variable, I think) necessary?  I think JMP is trying to force the width of the box plot element to 1, which hangs over the edge of your current x axis scale.  Maybe changing axis settings to show 4 to 10, or converting the Category variable to nominal, would help, at least while drawing this chart?
