Overlay Plot customize color (row colors)

For plotting overlay plots, I have a JMP DataTable where I have programmatically color coded the rows for each device. (large table with 100,000s rows) The color show correctly when I plot at overlay plot X vs Y (points are row colors).  There are a few thousand points for each device, and all of the data from each device is always the same row color.

 

When I group my plot by the device, JMP assigns its own color scheme, not the color of my rows. (Not what I want in this case)

For my plots, I don’t want to show the points, instead I want to connect the points with a line, and  I want the connector color to be the color of my rows.

JMP makes the connector color a constant color, not the color of my rows. The only way I can get different connector color is by grouping by device. But  if I group by device, the colors no long match the color of my rows!

My DataTable does have columns for R,G,B values so I could use this, but wasn’t sure of a what to do?

BTW I run into similar problems using GraphBuilder for this task as well…

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Chris
