How to create a custom background map (not map shape)?

[#1]

I'm attempting to overlay defects (X Y Coordinates) onto a custom background map (the semiconductor chipset geometry). The chipset is detailed in the typical -Name and -XY files.

On Background maps, the Scripting Index says:

Images are rasterized maps and support transparency. Boundaries are vector maps, defined by a shape file, and can be created by a user. You can specify either an image or a boundary or both.

but it doesn't detail how.

The JMP 18 graph builder menu (Graph> Background Map) only offers a few geographic options:

The example JSL is similarly cryptic, only referencing the name of a default map in the Boundaries function.

framebox << Background Map(
    Images( "Simple Earth", Transparency( 0.7 ) ),
    Boundaries( "World" )
);

The syntax of the boundaries function isn't explained, what do I type to input my own 'Shape File'?

<Boundaries("None" | Shape File)> )

Has anyone successfully applied a custom background map? Do the map files have to be stored in the C:\Program Files\JMP\JMP\18\Maps directory, or can they be anywhere?

Hi @EOwl,
Not an expert in semicon maps but I would check the following resources: 

1) How to make a wafer map in under 30 seconds
2) How to create a Semiconductor Heatmap
3) Creating Custom Maps to Enhance Your Analyses
4) Custom Floorplan Heat Maps Addin 

Hope these will help a bit.

Hi Spyros,

I did come across a few of the resources you posted, they've been useful as reference for utilizing the map shape part of graph builder. Unfortunately none of them cover custom background map boundaries, which is necessary for the chip map since I've reserved map shape for another layer.
