JMP Wish List

We want to hear your ideas for improving JMP software.

  1. Search: Please search for an existing idea first before submitting a new idea.
  2. Submit: Post your new idea using the Suggest an Idea button. Please submit one actionable idea per post rather than a single post with multiple ideas.
  3. Kudo & Comment Kudo ideas you like, and comment to add to an idea.
  4. Subscribe: Follow the status of ideas you like. Refer to status definitions to understand where an idea is in its lifecycle. (You are automatically subscribed to ideas you've submitted or commented on.)

We consider several factors when looking for what ideas to add to JMP. This includes what will have the greatest benefit to our customers based on scope, needs and current resources. Product ideas help us decide what features to work on next. Additionally, we often look to ideas for inspiration on how to add value to developments already in our pipeline or enhancements to new or existing features.

Add log scale option to Distribution platform Count axis

What inspired this wish list request? 

Desire to see simultaneously peaks on a histogram that are orders of magnitude different on the Count axis. A linear scale will flatten the smaller peak, whereas a log10 scale would reveal all peaks, large and small.

 

What is the improvement you would like to see? 

Add an option to switch to log scale of the Count axis in histograms in Distribution platform, just like Graph Builder offers it. If a count is zero, do not show a bar.

 

Why is this idea important? 

For my job as a defect metrologist I need to be able to see both large and small (sometimes several orders of magnitude apart on the count axis) subpopulations on a histogram. The count axis in log scale is the only way I know to achieve this.
