Below is a chart that has had some points selected, and as can be seen on both the chart and the data table, which points have been selected. However, you will need to provide more information about exactly what chart you were using, and what the data table contains for one to attempt to determine what the issues may be. I suggest as your first step, that you read the Essential Graphing book provided with the install of JMP
Help==>Books==>Essential Graphing
Concerning your second question, yes you could determine selected points from a line, and have their values be displayed on the chart. This can be done by specifying what columns should be used for the label, and then selecting the data points to be displayed. Again, this is covered in the Essential Graphing book
The second part I'm looking more for a way to script it into the script I currently have, if I have to hunt down the data points and select them the point is already defeated, variables I know is the column it occurs in, that there will always be a 0 before each peak of reference, and that I only care about the highest point of the peak for each occurance on the line.
I'll take a look at the book of course, but time waits for no man and the purpose of this project is to streamline the tasks we already do, don't need JMP to hunt for values we already have in Excel, ya know ^.^
Addendum:
Okay, so I've modified my graph so it is also using points. However the points are enormous and clunk up my picture. Is there a way to graph the points smaller or even graph them but remove the visible points? I don't need the points, I just need the ability to select the specific segment of a line which doesn't let you do that. Thank you for your additional help!
Beautiful, now we're getting somewhere, I'm having trouble inserting the dialogue that comes up for that into my script. When I make that adjustment the script looks like this
but I'm having trouble figuring out where and how to insert the modifiers into my base script.
I'd love to better understand this, but understanding is less important than effect, for the moment ^.^ (saved as images instead of text because text was working strangely, text code to follow)

insertinto(offset_cols, new_name);
dt << new column(new_name, Numeric, "Continuous", Format( "Best", 12 ),

I -think- it should go at the end here, but I keep getting
Not sure what else to try, I've attempted several different logical names but no change.
