how to plot an overlay variability chart

I am a new one for JMP :-)

For example, I have 4 columns

Name Gender Score1 Score2:

Jason  M 98 87

Alice F 67 78

Emma F 89 79

John M 70 89

Jennifer 76 65

I would like to generate a varibility chart (although the example only has 1 data for each people). I want to plot 2 curves (in different color for example) in 1 figure grouped by Gender, and connect the data with a line for each group. The x axis names need to be the listing order, like this

Thanks a lot!

Assuming you are running JMP version 12 or later, here is where the Page drop area is

Re: how to plot an overlay variability chart

You can run the Graph Builder platform twice and within each run, add a Local Data Filter, and only select Class 1 for the first instance of Graph Builder, and selec Class 2 for the second instance.  Here is an example using the Big Class Sample data table, and using the variable Age instead of the variable Class.localfilter.PNG

Re: how to plot an overlay variability chart

Thanks! I updated the JMP to 12 from company software center so I can use Page now. However, it only allow me to drag 1 column into the page area. If I have 3 varaibles for group, how to generate 2x2x2=8 seperate plots?

You can create a new virtual column by right clicking on one of the variables in the column names in the Columns area, you can select Formula to create a new column in which you can concatenate the 3 column's values into one column, and then use that column to drag into the Page drop area
