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.

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.
