Remove row legends from multiple plots in JMP18.1.0+

How to remove legends from multiple plots simultaneously in JMP18.1.0?
Earlier versions used to use ctrl + right click -> remove.  What is the fastest way to remove legends or the equivalent of ctrl + right click -> remove in jmp 18.1.0?

Here is one option. Remove legend from one graph

Hold Ctrl and drag and drop the Preset "button" to other graph

It will then broadcast the preset and preset is able to capture removed legend. Would this work for you? There are also scripting options but presents might be able to do what you are looking for

What platform are you using to create the plots?

I use Variability Gauge and Fit group (X-Y plots) on a regular basis. 

ctrl + right click -> remove which used to work for JMP16 won't work anymore for JMP18.

If I remember correctly at least Variability Gauge doesn't have legend by default, so there should be no need to remove it. If you need to have colors on points without having the legend, you can color them from the table

You're right, none of the plots/analysis have legends by default. We need to add it using right click -> rows -> row legend for one plot. For adding legend simultaneously to multiple plots we press ctrl + right click  -> rows -> row legend.  Similarly for removing legends from multiple plots simultaneously, we (used to) press ctrl + right click -> remove. 


Our datasets usually have multiple continuous variables and categorical variables.  Here is a example with simpler smaller dataset

EdgeTraceLizard_0-1743524653290.png

Figure 1: example of X-Y plot with manually added row legends. This analysis contains 4 plots. Legends were added by pressing CTRL + Right click. 



As a part of EDA we constantly need to explore different categories (color by split in this case)

Figure 2a: right click options for adding legends. CTRL + right click applies changes to all plots simultaneously.

Figure 2: right click options. Remove usually removes legend

CTRL + Right click would apply changes to all plots. I.e Adding legend to all plots simultaneously works with CTRL + Right click. But for removing legends, CTRL + Right click -->  REMOVE stopped working for JMP18. It used to work for JMP16.   






Our actual datasets have >15 numerical variables and > 5 categorical variables with multiple levels (>3).

Figure 3: Variability plot - there are more than 10 plots in this analysis (showing only one as an example)


As a part of Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) we need to explore various categories by applying row colors / shapes etc. For this we need to add/remove legends constantly to make it make sense. 

Removing legends one by one is fine for 3 or 4 plots. But it becomes a very time-consuming task to remove legends one by one for 10+ plots.

Thank you very much. This works.
