JMP Wish List

enable vertical orientation for Graph Builder Group X variables

 

What inspired this wish list request? Please describe the current issue that needs improvement or the problem to be solved that is not easy or possible right now, with an example use case. 

 

I am using JMP 17.1.0 on Windows 10.  This is a piece of the jsl, the remainder is just axis formatting instructions.  In this case the Group X variable = "ID" is a text string that is at least 10 characters long, and with this many IDs to compare, the space is too small to easily read the ID with horizontal orientation.

Graph Builder(
	Size( 1377, 605 ),
	Graph Spacing( 3 ),
	Variables(
		X( :ProcTime_mins ),
		Y( :BVO ),
		Y( :TotalAr ),
		Y( :VAC ),
		Group X( :ID )
	),  ...

 

 

 

What is the improvement you would like to see? Please describe the idea for improving JMP. Please include mock-ups, wireframes, screenshots, scripts, other documents or examples from other software that help describe the change you would like to see. 

 

Add an option to change the orientation of the Group X Label to either vertical or horizontal, and the need arises.

 

Why is this idea important? Please describe the value to you and/or other users if the idea is implemented (for example, ease of use, must have,…).

 

I have seen this same question with several solutions in the Community Discussion section but they have not solved the problem.  Vertical orientation of the Group X labels would make the ID much easier to read.

We also already have these options for Y-group (Title and Level orientation)
