How to create Layers in Graph Builder

Hey,

 

I have three sets of x and y (x1,x2,x3,y1,y2,y3) Data and would like to combine them into one Graph. When I tried using Graph Builder, I could generate a graph for x1, y1,y2,y3.  But then the Data is not displayed correctly, hence each pair of data must be combined with its x value. 

 

In origin I can use Layers to combine these three sets of data, is there a way to do it in JMP as well?

Thx

I do not know the structure of your data.  Assuming it looks like

You can stack the data and create a table that looks like

From there you can easily create a multiple X Y chart with 3 layers(Overlays)

Re: How to create Layers in Graph Builder

If you just want to take a quick look at the two curves in a combined plot - and don't want to change your table structure for it, you can copy/paste the frame content:
Using JSL to copy the frame contents of one graph to a different graph? 

It even works if the data comes from different data tables.

 

The huge disadvantage of this approach:
When you save the plot or the plot script, it will just save the original plot without the pasted content:
copied frame content disappears when reopening graph or JMP datatable
