Graph Builder > Spaghetti Plot With Average: How to create without Customization?

Hi JMP Community,

I'm trying to produce a large number of "spaghetti plots" with average lines for 3 categories as shown below but the only way I was able to build this example is by using a Custom Graphics Script: Is there a way to produce this graph more efficiently by for example combining more than 1 overlay criteria? Also, what is the proper syntax to assign specific color to the Markers added in the Graphics Script?

 

Thierry_S_1-1623534495867.png

//Graphics Script Associated with Plot Above
Pen Size( 4 );
Marker Size( 8 );
Pen Color( blue );
Line( {0, 0}, {2.0, 0.284}, {8.0, 0.564} );
Marker( {0, 0}, {2.0, 0.284}, {8.0, 0.564} );
Pen Color( green );
Line( {0, 0}, {2.0, 12.93}, {8.0, 12.24} );
Marker( {0, 0}, {2.0, 12.93}, {8.0, 12.24} );
Pen Color( purple );
Line( {0, 0}, {2.0, 6.17}, {8.0, 7.92} );
Marker( {0, 0}, {2.0, 6.17}, {8.0, 7.92} );

Thank you for your help.

Best,

@Thierry_S ,

Below is a hard wired version of your graph(close to your version that is).  The hardwired part could be generalized without much effort.  I hope you find it useful, and if not, at least amusing

Re: Graph Builder > Spaghetti Plot With Average: How to create without Customization?

I think you could do this with a single overlay criteria that had 6 levels: blue dark, blue light, etc..  Then customize color with the legend.
