JMP Wish List

It would be great if you added in SVM modelling capability to the JMP Pro predictive analytics platform.  I would prefer to run this directly in JMP rather than having to use R add ins, etc.  Even a JSL scripted add in would be helpful. ... View more

When in JSL a "Save...." function is called without specifying where to save the object, JMP pops up an operating system window and allows the user to navigate and name the file, and then save it. i.e. myWindow << Save Presentation(); myReport << Save HTML();   I would like to see something like: thePath = myWindow << Save Presentation(); Where, thePath would return the path/file name that was saved ...

I would like to have a Table Script that automatically runs when the data table is opened.  As a suggestion, If a Table Script by the name of "Startup" is saved in a data table, everytime the data table is opened, the "Startup" script is run. And to bypass the execution of the script, if the CNTL key is pressed and held when opening the table, the script is not run.   Not required....see the On Open table script capability ... View more

I find that when I am viewing my model with both the Profiler and the Contour Profiler that I usually choose option to Link Profilers. I've run Get Platform Preferences() in the Log, but it seems there is no option to set "Link Profilers" as preferred/default behavior. If there is a reason that users are not allowed to set this preference either via GUI or via JSL, what is it? ... View more

Someone already requested a better search and replace function in the JSL editor. I agree with that because the existing one seems confusing to me. But what I would really like to see are bookmark capabilities in the JSL editor, with control via key strokes. Ex: ctrl+F2 toggles the bookmark on / off. F2 moves to next bookmark. Shift F2 moves to previous bookmark.   Related: There's an F3 function where if you have text highlighted it will skip to the next time that string is encountered, but it would be nice to have a shift-F3 that goes in the opposite direction (up).  Never mind this last part... I didn't realize ctrl+shift+F3 goes to previous.   Thanks, Mike ... View more

When you create a model using the DoE platorms there is the option to simulate responses prior to the table being made but when you run the model script you have generated the :Y response is included, this means you have to change the model to use the :Y simulated responses you have just generated.   The idea is that if you Simulate Responses during the generation of a model the ':Y Simulated' should be included into the model dialogue, not the ':Y'   David ...

Hello,         Would like to open a request for the ability to allow a user defined function to return more than one argument as output . If I am not wrong , the current definition of a user defined function in JSL , looks something like this :    FunctionName = function({args_list},{localvars_List}, // Logic // Return Return(OutputVar); // where OutputVar can be list or data table or matrix );         I think it would be highly beneficial to allow retrieve multiple arguments easily when calling the function. Please kindly provide an example should such a feature already exist .  ... View more

     This is a request to add back a feature/capability that existed before JMP 13. After making an XY plot, it is common to have JMP apply a best fit line.  However, JMP limits the extent range to be not much beyond the X-values of the data set.  This is to avoid extrapolation errors and it is, arguably, a good thing.        However, I frequently plot XY plots then want to apply a forced line.  For example, I have two columns of data representing a single measurement reading made by two different pieces of test equipment.  Notwithstanding R&R, each of the readings should be the same value regardless which piece of test equipment collected the reading.  Therefore, I want to apply a "special fit" -- a  forced 1:1 line fit (slope=1, intercept = 0).  Please note that I *know* that this 1:1 relationship should exist far beyond  the range of the data plotted.  The problem is that JMP 13 refuses to extend the 1:1 ("special fit") line beyond the data.  JMP thinks it is protecting me from using best-fits and extrapolating beyond safe ranges, but in this case, this is not a "best-fit", it is a forced-fit and, in this case, I know with 100% certainty that the forced-fit is valid out to very large range extents.  I do not want to have do special scripting to create a graphical equivalent of this request.      REQUEST:  In XY plots, JMP should allow forced-fits to extend the full range of the displayed axis limits, even if those axis limits are far beyond the plotted data.             ...

I would like to be able to import selected images from a folder into a new or existing Data Table with the option to either match names of images with names in an existing column or to have the names of the images written in a separate column (see attached illustration).   It should be possible to specify a name for the Expression column ("Process Result Pic" in the illustration) and a name for the ID column (if used, "Serial Number" in the illustration), or if names of images should be matched with entries in an existing column, then the name of the existing column must be specified. It would be very handy if file sizes could be reduced (on import) down to a max of x Mbyte, and to a maximum width or height (as in the Column Property "Expression Role").   I'm aware that there is a community entry by M_Anderson with supplied jsl code that goes in a very similar direction, but with the expectation that a column with pic names already exists. I couldn't get this to work (probably I misinterpreted sth there).  It would be nice to have an official tool for this with more options. https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Scripts/Adding-Images-to-A-Data-Table-From-a-Directory/ta-p/40341 ...

I often use the Set Title() message to overwrite the OutlineBox titles of charts, distributions, etc. Some of these titles are very long. And I would like to split these titles into multiple lines. I propose to add a Set Wrap() method to the OutlineBox.   See also the related Community Discussion: JSL How do I wrap the title text of a OutlineBox?  ... View more

As computing has advanced, I've gone from 1 core to 2 cores to 4 cores... to 64 threads on my workstation. Meanwhile .jsl has effectively remained single threaded. I know some platforms will utilize all threads, but I'd like to be able to farm out simple jsl operations at will to multiple threads. For example, if I have a script which operates row-wise on 10,000,000 rows of data, if I'm iterating by row in a for loop and I know each row's result is independent of the other rows, I'd like to split that operation into 64 asynchronous for loops, pause other execution while the 64 loops complete in parallel, then move back to a single threaded, synchronous script after all are complete, much like I would in .py with Pool() and poolObject.join. ...
