Thanks everyone. Strange, I usually get email alert updates when someone posts but didn't this time, hence my late response.
I figured there must be an easier way than tracing, so I'm glad I asked! That being said, I DID try and do a better job of tracing, and it didn't come out terrible (see shape files). Though that doesn't address the scale issue so I simply used "annotate" to cheat.
I will check out Scott's suggested posts. I am always looking for better ways to present data, though in this case, maybe the relatively more drab option isn't necessarily that bad:
This one took all of 10 seconds to make in GraphBuilder and (hopefully) shows that we are progressing towards our goal. So maybe for this particular example, the simple default option shouldn't necessarily be frowned upon, whereas for other purposes, more advanced, customized, "sexier" options may be the way to go, so I'll check out these resources to see how I can improve my "graphsmanship" with JMP Pro 17+GB! Thanks everyone.
