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.

Vertical X-axis Label Orientation [Change Default] on t-distributions and Histograms in JMP!

I think JMP does an excellent job in the case of the t-tests showing the sampling distribution of the mean difference under the null (for the case of the 2-sample t) and the observed mean difference relative to it; but why the scaling and horizontal axis orientation on these graphs graph?  Why not set the scale values to be oriented vertically by default on all of these graphs? (and on the histograms for that matter in Analyze>Distribution)?   
 
I find  myself always clicking in and modifying these axes manually; Can the development team please add this as an adjustable setting in File>Preferences in the next version of JMP?
 
Default Axis (t-test)Default Axis (t-test)
 
Modified axis (t-test)Modified axis (t-test)
Default axis (histogram)Default axis (histogram)
Modified axis (histogram)Modified axis (histogram)
The modified cases (vertically oriented values) are much easier to read and interpret don't you think?
 
I ran this idea by Julian Parris at JMP and he confirmed for me that there is no way to do this in the current version of JMP 14.
Thanks!
