JMP Wish List

Most people who manipulate 3D scatterplots do not want to rotate about the Z axis, and they end up struggling to keep it 'right side up' after a few rotations.  Make the mouse movement work like the 'Move and Rotate' behavior in the animated gif below.            Here is an add-in that provide the functionality in the animation above:      https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Add-Ins/3D-Plot-Tools/ta-p/48699   Proposed Provide an option to lock the z axis, enable it by default.  When enabled, horizontal movement of the mouse rotates the chart about the y axis, no matter where the user initially clicked on the chart. Vertical movement rotates the chart about the x axis. ... View more

Hi,   I saw there is already a post for improvements to the Scripting index here :Scripting-Index-improvements  . However, I don't know if wishes are actually taken into account when they are submitted as comments to an existing wish, so I'll just make a new post.     Something that would be very useful would be to have a 100% comprehensive Scripting index. What I mean is to include for every function, a complete list of all arguments, what the funtion returns, and the clearest possible explanation so a novice can understand exactly how a function works and what it does.   Yes I know, some of this information can be found in the JSL syntax reference. But why not have it all in the same place?  All too often I have to read both the text of the Scripting index and the syntax reference to understand what the function actually is and how it works. So having a more thorough, more detailed, more education oriented Scripting index would be very valuable.   Thanks         ... View more

Please add as many macOS keyboard shortcuts as possible.

I've created a toolbar that contains numerous Custom JSL Scripts that I've written.  I would like to change the order/grouping of these items on the toolbar but can neither drag/drop them to new locations nor do I find any commands for moving or adjusting the position of items within the Toolbar.  The best I've been able to figure out, which is rather clunky and time-consuming, is to create a new command where I want it located in my toolbar list, copy over each of the various fields into this new command, and then delete the original command.     Please add ability to move items in Toolbar Customization screen, either drag/drop or move up/move down capability. ...

When you are writing a script embedded in a data table, there are several issues compared to a stand alone script file.   There is no Embedded log. If I want t o see what is in the log, I have to go through the debugger. But I don't like this option as the debugger has a strong tendency to crash JMP. Can we please have an embedded log in the datatable-dependent script windows ?   Upon execution, the data table is not saved automatically. This means that when I run a script and JMP crashes (I don't know if it is just me but that happens A LOT), my work is lost if I didn't save the data table. Can we have an autosave option ?                 ... View more

The Process Screening platform provides a very efficient way to generate and present process stability and capability statistics when there is a need to look at this information by group(s) that contain many levels and combinations.  The analysis output is neatly presented in a tabular format and by right-clicking on any highlighted row in the table, the user can choose to look at quick graphs that display control charts or capability analysis.   I often use 'Make Into Data Table' to convert output in the analysis windows to new data sources that I'd need for other graphics and analyses.  In the case of Process Screening platform, because the quick graphs options are already there for each row in the table, I think it would be very nice to be able to capture those quick graphs when 'Make Into Data Table' and save the graphs as images  in expression-type columns in the resulting data table.    These images can then be used as labels for data points in a plot as in Graph Builder, that can greatly enhance data content and improve user experience; and when the plot is saved and shared as interactive HTML, non-JMP users can also view the popup graphics in the plot.   Perhaps, the 'Make Into Data Table' could have additional dialogs that ask the users whether they want to include the quick graphs as images in the resulting data table.  The dialogs may also allow users to set parameters and options for the image  such as image size, which analysis sections to display, ...     The ability to quickly generate and save associated images along with the data when choosing 'Make Into Data Table'  would take the Process Screening platform to a whole new level.       ...

I would really love it if we could subscript a list with a matrix and have it shape the list into a list of lists.       l = {"A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F"}; ss = [1 2, 3 4, 5 6]; l[ss]; // I want this to come out as {{"A", "B"}, {"C", "D"}, {"E", "F"}};         ... View more

In reality, unfortunately in my opinion, Microsoft Excel is still the de facto standard for exchanging table-formatted data. Even Google Spreadsheet now lets users work on Excel files, rather than forcing users to convert Excel files to Google's format. I personally often export JMP tables as Excel files for sharing them with "users" of my analysis. I wish JMP respects major formatting options when it exports a Data Table as a Microsoft Excel file, specifically:  - Column Width  - Data Type, e.g., Numeric Column in JMP as Number in Excel  - Format of Numeric Columns  - Value Labels  - Scroll Lock It does not have to be perfect. Maybe the JMP team already have a JMP Live-related alternative to sharing Data Tables with non-JMP users in a smarter way? ... View more

For those who use "matching" techniques, e.g., propensity score, mirror histogram is a common way of visually showing how similar or different a distribution of a continuous variable is between classes (categorical variables). For publication, we believe, it must be MIRRORED. I draw mirror histograms using my custom made script and want an easier way. One way of making it possible to draw a mirror histogram as a standard feature may be to add a category-specific "flip axis" option in Graph Builder platform. ... View more

I would like a JSL command that allows me to change the Display Language in JMP - not only the check box below the language, but the language itself. Being able to check what Display Language is currently used, would also be very helpful.   When using Display Language English on a German OS, I can use the checkbox below to tell JMP if decimal points (tick) or decimal commas (no tick) are expected. When using Display Language German on a German OS, the tick makes no difference in that respect. As our users have both language options it's important to know what language they're using in JMP before a common script is run on their system. Currently I can only think of a poor workaround to check the language and give a warning if they're using the wrong language for the script they want to use. ... View more

Hi there, recently I had the task to import data contained in tables within pdf documents, which realy works nice with the new import-feature for pdf's in JMP15. As these documents are generated by an instrument upon exporting the raw data, it would be far more efficient if this import feature for pdf's would be integrated in the "Multiple file Import..." feature. Is this possible? I hope it will be in near future ;) Best Regards Egon Gross ... View more

Two kinds of statistical tolerance intervals exist. First, beta-expectation tolerance interval is a statistical interval within which a specified proportion (beta) of the population is expected to fall. The second kind is the beta-content gamma-confidence tolerance interval that is an interval within which a beta proportion of the population fall, with the confidence level gamma. Those intervals are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. ... View more

Can we have tables of indirect effects and total effects in Structural Equation Models?  When there are mediating effects in the model, the direct regression effects table gives only a partial picture of the full model. When the indirect effect has an opposite or nullifying effect, then the total effect coefficients give the full picture of the entire model.  Bollen (1989) gives formulas for the total effects of latent variables on other latent variables and observed variables which might be useful in doing prediction (wishful thinking). ...

I've been a big fan of equivalence tests in JMP. For a one-sample scenario in the Distribution platform I like the output because it has a nice graphical representation of the equivalence bounds overlaid with the confidence intervals on the mean. You also get a deliberate interpretation statement at the bottom.   In a multi-sample scenario in the Fit Y by X platform it's less interpretable. I was in a meeting with a few engineers, and they had no idea how to interpret the two normal distributions and indicated they definitely prefer the one-sample case.   My proposal would be to create similar output in Fit Y by X as to what you see in the Distribution platform. For the example above, the equivalence bounds of [-6, +6] can be easily shown with a red confidence interval based on the actual output (centered around 3.02). ... View more

Hi all,     So I'm using the graph builders to display pictures. You know, the "expression" data type. The DIY solution that has been implemented to embed pictures into a JMP table.   I want to see these pictures clearly when I'm looking at them on graphs, so I use a marker size of 100 (I know, I'm just looking for trouble). Now, I want to see the labels for these pictures when I hover over them. But then nothing happens! Then I tried to find the exact center of the pictures and it works, the label displays! That means, to see the label, you have to find the small area that corresponds to a default size. From what I can see, this area is a circle of about a marker size 7, regardless of your actual marker size. Even if you use size 0, the label will display in that area.   So my request is as follows : Make the label to display on the whole size of the marker, whether it be a normal marker like a dot or something more fancy like a picture. ==> This should also take into account the shape of the marker. By default this is a circle but this should change with the shape of your marker, like a rectangle for pictures.                   ... View more
