How to include greek letters when editing axis title (without changing column name)

[#1]

Hi,

Is there a way to insert a Greek letter and special character when editing the axis title of a graph, without changing the column name in the data table? 

Thanks in advance.

You can use the Unicode characters, see JMP Help

// Open Data Table: Big Class.jmp
// → Data Table( "Big Class" )
Open( "/C:/Program Files/SAS/JMPPRO/17/Samples/Data/Big Class.jmp" );

Graph Builder(
	Variables( X( :weight ), Y( :height ) ),
	Elements( Points( X, Y, Legend( 5 ) ), Smoother( X, Y, Legend( 6 ) ) ),
	SendToReport(
		Dispatch( {}, "Y title", TextEditBox, {Set Text( "\!U03C3 height" )} )
	)
);

Thanks, but I was wondering if it is possible to insert the greek letter while manually editing the axis title (without JSL).

I am not aware of how to enter the Unicodes interactively, so that JMP recognizes them.  Maybe another Community Member does.

On a Windows Computer you can click Win + Point to open the Emoji Shortcut panel.

The panel also provides a section with Greek letters.

Fortunately, the greek letters will be displayed correctly.

Next question: what's the issue with the Emojis ?!?!
