Stack line graphs with same x-axis

Hello, how do I create graphs with the same x-axis like those pictured below? I specifically mean how do you stack them on top of one another vertically. Thanks.

Drag the Y-cols one at a time to the Y-axis, but don't drop them in the middle, but rather on the edge of the Y-axis.  Dropping in the middle will replace the column with what is there, but dropping on the top/bottom edge will add that variable above/below the current Y-axis variable.  Can do similar on the X-axis.

Re: Stack line graphs with same x-axis

If you are building the graph from the start and you know which columns you wish to have as separated, you can hold shift when you drop them to the axis and it should separate them. It should look something like this

and this is the normal without holding shift

Otherwise dropping them to correct location (like @mzwald already did mention should do it:

Do not drop them here (will replace)

or here (will add to same axis)

but rather to top or bottom of axis

Essential Graphing from JMP Help is a good read, here is direct link to this topic  Essential Graphing > Graph Builder > Work with Axes > Create Separate Axes in the X and Y Zones

@jthi  I didn't know about the Shift drop to separate many at once.  Still learning new things about JMP after many years.
