Graph Builder: How to toggle off the overlay for different y-axes?

[#1]

Hey Everyone,

This is not so much of a question rather me posting this so that the information is available online

I was having trouble using graph builder. My current chart uses two y-axes to compare two different data types. The problem I was running into was that the overlay variable wanted to split both of my y-axes' data into the groups associated with that variable (My overlay variable was "Fail Mech Type").  This overlay is what is splitting my stacked bar chart into three different colors. To avoid my line graph being split into three different plots I needed to toggle off the overlay for my right y-axis. I couldn't find anything online to help me, so I reached out to some JMP experts.

The image below shows where in the graph builder you can toggle the overlay on and off. This is under the "variables" drop down to the left of the chart.

Hope this helps a few people!

It isn't as easy as it should be to find this information from JMP Help page but it is there. For example for Bar chart

https://www.jmp.com/support/help/en/18.0/index.shtml#page/jmp/bar.shtml#

And the example https://www.jmp.com/support/help/en/18.0/index.shtml#page/jmp/example-of-an-area-and-line-chart.shtm.... 

Essential Graphing (jmp.com) is a good read. And so are Pictures from the Gallery by Scott Wise Master List – Pictures from the Gallery – Advanced Graph Building Series which also contain videos.

Besides deactivating some "variables", one can also "pick" variables for the axes and for color:
just drop multiple *) columns onto the drop zone and then just activate the column that you want.

*) Now: up to 2. According to 🙏 Graph Builder: support more than 2 'Color' columns ,
in future there will be up to 10 columns possible for color

And if you are interested in getting the same functionality for overlay, please follow this wish: Graph Builder - Overlay by multiple columns and support it with a Kudo

All,

FYI: New in Graph Builder JMP 18 is the Overlay Encoding (right click options directly in the overlay landing zone which offers some additional overlay view controls, in addition to the panel check boxes.  An example of the overlay encoding will be part of the new Pictures from the Gallery 9 talk that is debuting at the Online Discovery Discovery Online  on Sept 18th & 19th.
