How to insert X axis break in graph builder?

Hi everyone,

 

I am trying to insert a simple X axis break in JMP, but can't find the option for it in the Graph Builder.

 

In Origin Lab for example this was easily achievable using x axis breaks. I am quite new to JMP, so any help would be much appreciated!

 

My X axis data are timestamps, spread over multiple days, but on a single day they are only in the range of up to one hours. If I put all timestamps as X, the trend of the data during a single day gets lost, because the distance to the next day is so much larger.

I want to only display the X data on each day during the time where measurements were taken. I have added a small graphic to hopefully better explain the problem.

Thank you!

for professional breaks like in Origin or Graphana, please vote:

Data Builder by @Ben_BarrIngh is great to create a dummy dataset for discussions:

For the special case of "trend within the day", one can use the Wrap option in GraphBuilder

...  or a transform column with "Time of Day":

For ranges > 1 day, one can calculate a zoomed timestamp [:day:hour] by subtracting the date of the first entry per group:

New Column( "timestamp_zoom",
	Format( ":day:hr:m", 16 ),
	Formula(
		(:date - Col Minimum( :date, :Group ))
		+Col Minimum( Time Of Day( :date ), :Group )
	)
)
