Mouse hover over data point to display image?

Does anyone know if this is possible?  Mouse hover over a data point, like a chart, and pop up a JPG/GIF image in a window or some sort of display box?

I know and use <<Set Label Columns to display values upon mouse hover over data points - it works very well.  Wondering if there's a way to do this by referencing an image path?  thx... dj

Re: Mouse hover over data point to display image?

Hi, I tried to run this script, but I get an error on "table1:pic[1] = p;" saying that the column type does not match. Is that because I use JMP 10?

Yes, the script above takes advantage of Expression columns, which I believe weren't introduced until JMP 12.

Re: Mouse hover over data point to display image?

In JMP 15.0 we added a feature called graphlets that provides (among other things) the ability to the display images on demand inside hover labels. The image displayed and what happens when you click on it are completely under the control of the user. You can easily retrieve an image from a column, from a file or from a URL built dynamically based on the graph context (e.g. X and Y values of your graph). There is no need to store images in the table (though that is also supported).

 

You can see this functionality in action in the following File Exchange
