JMP Wish List

Jitter options for Fit Y by X platform similar to Graph Builder

What inspired this wish list request? Due to a change in default for JMP17. Previously in JMP16, the jitter default looks like this:

But the JMP17 default is now something like this: 

Vball247_2-1687796350349.png

 

We see in the Fit Y by X platform and its preferences you can only use a boolean to turn jitter on/off.

Oneway(
Y( :Data ),
X( :Levels ),
X Axis Proportional( 0 ),
Points Jittered( 1 ),

We did discover by doing a right-click and select Customize > Marker, that the option to change the jitter is shown

Vball247_3-1687796455793.png

Oneway(
	Y( :Data ),
	X( :Levels ),
	Means( 1 ),
	Box Plots( 1 ),
	Mean Diamonds( 1 ),
	X Axis Proportional( 0 ),
	Points Jittered( 1 ),
	SendToReport(
		Dispatch(
			{},
			"Oneway Plot",
			FrameBox,
			{Frame Size( 607, 243 ), DispatchSeg(
				Marker Seg( 1 ),
				Set Jitter( "Random Uniform", "X", 1, 0, 355 )

 

What is the improvement you would like to see? We would like the option to set the type of jitter in the Fit Y by X platform similar to the Graph Builder jitter options. To also allow this in the Preferences for the platform.

Graph Builder(
	Size( 526, 448 ),
	Show Control Panel( 0 ),
	Variables( X( :Levels ), Y( :Data ), Color( :Levels ) ),
	Elements(
		Points(
			X,
			Y,
			Legend( 7 ),
			Jitter( "Random Uniform" ),
			Jitter Limit( 0.4381 )
		)
	)
);

 

Why is this idea important? To standarize reports for viewers preferences, instead of having to change each time, or run a script that adjusts the elements of the Fit Y by X, should allow this platform to change as a preference and a menu option in the Fit Y by X platform.
