Subplots with different sizes?

[#1]

Is it possible to generate this plot in Jmp?

[#2 · Accepted solution]

Hi @hogi ,

Yes, it can be a bit challenging to do it, but it is possible

Here is the result on JMP :

And here is the script to realize it on JMP (with the "Big Class" dataset like in your example):

Graph Builder(
	Size( 638, 610 ),
	Show Control Panel( 0 ),
	Variables( X( :X ), X( :height ), Y( :height ), Y( :weight ), Overlay( :sex ) ),
	Relative Sizes( "X", [157 427] ),
	Relative Sizes( "Y", [114 246] ),
	Elements( Position( 1, 1 ) ),
	Elements( Position( 1, 2 ), Histogram( X, Y, Legend( 44 ) ) ),
	Elements( Position( 2, 1 ), Histogram( X, Y, Legend( 42 ) ) ),
	Elements(
		Position( 2, 2 ),
		Points( X, Y, Legend( 36 ) ),
		Smoother( X, Y, Legend( 45 ) )
	),
	SendToReport(
		Dispatch(
			{},
			"X",
			ScaleBox,
			{Label Row(
				{Automatic Font Size( 0 ), Automatic Tick Marks( 0 ),
				Show Major Labels( 0 ), Show Major Ticks( 0 ), Show Minor Ticks( 0 )
				}
			)}
		),
		Dispatch(
			{},
			"height",
			ScaleBox( 2 ),
			{Label Row(
				{Automatic Font Size( 0 ), Automatic Tick Marks( 0 ),
				Show Major Labels( 0 ), Show Major Ticks( 0 ), Show Minor Ticks( 0 )
				}
			)}
		),
		Dispatch(
			{},
			"400",
			ScaleBox,
			{Legend Model(
				42,
				Base( 0, 0, 0, Item ID( "F", 1 ) ),
				Base( 1, 0, 0, Item ID( "M", 1 ) )
			), Legend Model(
				36,
				Base( 0, 0, 0, Item ID( "F", 1 ) ),
				Base( 1, 0, 0, Item ID( "M", 1 ) )
			)}
		),
		Dispatch( {}, "X title", TextEditBox, {Set Text( "" )} ),
		Dispatch( {}, "Y title", TextEditBox, {Set Text( "" )} ),
		Dispatch(
			{},
			"400",
			LegendBox,
			{Legend Position(
				{44, [-1, -1], 42, [-1, -1], 36, [-1, -1], 45, [0, 1]}
			)}
		)
	)
);

The "trick" is to create a dummy variable column "X" in your datatable (only with value "1" for example), to realize the subplot in the left corner. You can then hide all the graphs ticks and values. On the X axis, you have two variables : "X" and "height", and on the Y axis, you have two variables "height" and "weight".

To resize an element in the graph independently, just move your mouse on the axis until you have a double arrow on the diagonal, and then click and move this double arrow to resize the axis/element you want.

I hope this will help you,

PS: If you don't know it already, I highly recommend to see the tips and tricks on Graph Builder done in the serie "Pictures from the Gallery" by @scwise (Scott Wise), always interesting and insightful !

Victor and Hogi,

Thank you Victor for the nice shout out to the Pictures in the Gallery Advanced Graph Builder views and for your nice scripting solution.  There is also a less elegant, but non-coding way to accomplish this desired graph view.  It is featured as one of the methods in the "Pictures form the Gallery 5", and you can access the video and download the journal with steps, data and scripts through this link: Discovery-Summit-Munich-2020-Pictures-From-the-Gallery-5 .  The trick is to set-up dummy variables, that can be used to put the additional graph types on the side and top in order to generate another view, like in this case Box Plots around a Scatter Plot over the same X and Y Axes.

Hope this helps and keep having fun exploring and visualizing in JMP!

Fantastic!

I just added an entry to the list of easter eggs:
