☑ cool new feature ☐ could help many users! ☐ removes a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   Add polar plot as an option to GraphBuilder.   many other plotting tools have such an option: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/creating_plots/plotting-in-polar-coordinates.html https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/PolarPlot.html   To keep the GraphBuilder Interface as it is, one could "hide" the polar plot mode under Scale Type - similar to Geodesic, where an even more complicated projection is used to convert the coordinates to x/y values.   The idea: The user selects R and Phi values for the X and Y axis and selects polar plot in one of the Scale Type menus (the other Scale Type is changed automaticaly). As a result, the values are converted to x/y coordinates and a polar grid is used.   Alternative - if this is not possible: The user directly loads x/y coordinates and selecting polar plot from the Scale Type menu. This changes the grid to r/phi. Difficulty: how to define the major/minor grid steps?               more wishes submitted by   ... View more

☐ cool new feature ☐ could help many users! ☑ removes a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   At the moment, a data table object is removed from Application Builder as soon as the user closes the corresponding data table. This destroys all links to the data table (plots, column list boxes, data filters ...), leading to a non-functional Application. If the user doesn't notice the problem and saves the Application, the file gets useless:      Workaround for users who already lost an application: Don't use Application Builder. Apply extreme care, when an application is opened in edit mode: First save and close the application, then close the data table if the user detects that "it happened again" before he closes the application, he can recover/keep the structure by adding a new data table before saving :)   My wish:  Please protect the user from this problem. Options: If a user closes a data table and the data table is used in an application, please display a warning message asking the user if he really wants to close the data table - as this will destroy the application. Keep the structure in the application as it is (even with closed data table) if the user wants to continue editing the application, Jmp can ask the user if it's OK to open the data table again.     https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/Collection-of-quot-funny-quot-JSL-newbie-questions/m-p/580077/highlight/true#M78727   ...

As a code editor JMP's Script Editor is lacking quite a many features, one of them are some fairly basic shortcuts which make writing scripts much faster (and easier when you get used to them) and the shortcuts should mostly work without using mouse. Below are just few of the suggestions that come quickly to my mind (the shortcuts for all of these should be easy for user to configure): Open search bar for Scripting Index This should open similar search window as Quick Open does Open scripting index for current function, this has already been suggested but closed as delivered, BUT this new shortcut requires usage of mouse. Cut Line Copy Line Move Line up/down Copy line up/down Auto-complete variable names (might be already suggested) Either in similar manner as valid commands works currently (Ctrl+Space) Or offer suggestions and user can fill them by pressing Enter This could be expanded to functions in a similar manner as SAS in which you can control how it works through preferences These kinda already exist but have been split into two different shortcuts instead of toggle. I have no idea though how to use these with my keyboard or how to set them in JMP Menu Editor as I don't know the Built-in command for these and they aren't visible (do I have to build them by using Main Menu("")?) Toggle line comment Toggle block comment More possible shortcuts can be found for example from Visual Studio Codes keyboard shortcut listing ... View more

Even before JMP17 I was looking for faster ways to open some specific rows from large JMP tables to improve the user-experience of tools I write. Finally JMP17 provided us with options to open x first, x last or x random rows. I would suggest that JMP should also let user open data table using specific rows (not sure if this can be technically done). Syntax for these is First(x), Last(x), Random(x) and if x is between 0-1 fraction of the total number of columns is used. And the new syntax could be same as Subset has for example with Rows([1,2,3,4]) dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/CrimeData.jmp", Rows([2,4,6,8,30])); .   One of my use cases would be following: I have a data table with 10million rows and 100 columns. First I open the table with only one (or multiple) column and ALL rows. Then I calculate which rows I am interested in, close the one column table and then re-open with just the interesting rows. This should make opening large tables much faster if I don't need all the data. Currently I can do this with if the table is sorted and I need sorted data. ... View more

Hello,   I would like to request the option to arrange Variability Gauge charts in rows, similar to other platforms such as Distribution, Fit Y by X, etc.   Regards Mehul Shroff ... View more

Hello, My students were in the middle of their Lab exam, conducting a Block ANOVA. A problem arose when they came to test for unequal variance, they were unable to do so, the option was no longer showing! This test was showing a few weeks earlier. I then learnt from technical support that this option was recently removed from JMP 16.  It is hard for us teachers when things are changed without our knowledge, as we build the labs with step by step instructions, and do not know when steps have been changed or removed. This is especially difficult in online classes.   I suggest/wish that JMP provide an internal mechanism to prioritize certain deprecation or feature removals for external communication to academic customers. Thank you       ... View more

From time to time I have to look matches from long strings and usually regex is the method I will (would) use for. Below is an example where I try to find all words starting with f Names Default To Here(1); str2 = "which foot or hand fell fastest"; show(Regex(str2, "f[a-z]+")); // wanted result {"foot", "fell", "fastest"} This will return me only the first match ("foot"). I would request a flag to be added, which could be used to find all possible non-overlapping occurrences, in similar manner as Python's re.findall works.   ... View more

Currently JMP's Words() function will split by any characters found from delimiters. Add a flag parameter which would allow user to use the delimiter string as one instead of any   Names Default To Here(1); str1 = "a.,b.,c,d"; // last value should be c,d //Show(Items(str1, ".,")); Show(Words(str1, ".,")); Most likely same feature could be added to Word(), Item() and Items() as they perform similar operations.   ...

Hello,   In JMP 16, the options for the color scheme and reverse colors for Contour Plots were moved from the hot-key menu to a different menu that is accessed by right-clicking (in Windows) on the color legend. This is problematic because selections of / changes to these options can no longer be broadcast across multiple contour plots and each one needs to be handled individually. Can these options be moved back to the hot-key menu? If not, can functionality be added to the current menu to enable the use of broadcast mode?   This was also reported to Tech Support in June 2021.     ... View more

☐ cool new feature ☐ could help many users! ☑ removes a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   Text to Columns is a cool tool to split data from a single column to multiple columns - with a user define separator.   The tool has a neat feature - which (in manny cases) acts more like a bug:   If there  are consecutive separator characters, they are automatically treated like a single character (!) Definitely, this makes sense for spaces.    But let's assume that the data is from a data table. Then two consecutive separator characters indicate that there is an entry with a missing value in-between. And Text to Column interprets it as a single character, this leads to shifted entries, like illustrated here: https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/Cols-utilities-how-to-let-lt-text-to-columns-gt-take-care-of/td-p/254339   My wish: please add a checkbox to enable/disable the "use multiple separators as a single one"  feature. Out of historic reasons, one could enable the feature by default.   It's clear that there are workarounds like: - write your own Text to Columns tool. - add additional characters between adjacent separator characters. - export the data set and use the txt import (which fortunately doesn't have this bug/feature) - use Excel (which has the checkbox) ...

Hi JMP team and Community members,   Maybe I haven't searched long enough, but it seems Space-Filling design are only accessible through DoE -> Classical -> Mixture or through DoE -> Special Purpose -> Space Filling Designs.   However, I had a case where a Mixture design would be the type of design to choose (because factors are components in a formulation) and an area of the experimental space should be excluded (see image, red area is excluded because of stability issues). I tried to do the option "Disallowed combinations filter/script", but it doesn't work with Mixture designs. I also tried the "Candidate Runs" method, by generating 100000 points in my experimental space, excluding the red area, and trying to create a Custom design with covariates. It does work, but I would like the option here to use a Space-Filling design, to have more flexibility in the modeling and avoid "blind spots".   I also tried the Space-Filling from "Special Purpose" menu and adding the constraints, but very strangely it seems to have a bug, as all generated points are at 0. DOE( Space Filling Design, {Add Response( Maximize, "Y", ., ., . ), Add Factor( Mixture, 0, 1, "X1", 0 ), Add Factor( Mixture, 0, 1, "X2", 0 ), Add Factor( Mixture, 0, 1, "X3", 0 ), Set Random Seed( 1883266761 ), Disallowed Combinations( X2 >= 0.3 & X1 <= 0.2 ), FFF Optimality Criterion( MaxPro ), Space Filling Design Type( Fast Flexible Filling, 30 ), Simulate Responses( 0 )} ); For my use case I will simply generate the Space-Filling design with no constraints and manually exclude points in the area (not optimal method, but it seems to be the only option here to have a Space-FIlling design), but I would like to have in the Custom design the option to use Space-Filling design (with covariates for Mixtures design with specific constraints for example). ...

☑ cool new feature ☑ could help many users! ☐ removes a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   #myTop10_2022     For Local Data filters, the Select option is missing: https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/Collection-of-quot-funny-quot-JSL-newbie-questions/m-p/579590/highlight/true#M78685   Is the absence of Select mode a fundamental necessity for Jmp to work - or is it just like @ian_jmp guesses: https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/Collection-of-quot-funny-quot-JSL-newbie-questions/m-p/580295/highlight/true#M78738 ~ It's removed because otherwise the user could be confused by the too many possibilities/too much functionality.   I understand that not every user needs a Select option in a local data filter.   But on the other hand - with the select option enabled, you could generate a completely new generation of Dashboards. Even after generation of the Dashboard, the user can add variables to the Data filter - and use them to highlight points in the plots! Thereby, the user of the dashborad is no longer restricted by the creativity of the coder of the dashboard.   The Enhanced Sankey Plot Add-In is a great example of how versatile a Dashbord can be with a select - enabled Data Filter: https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Add-Ins/Enhanced-Sankey-Plot-ESP/ta-p/549745 Here, @jthi uses a generic Data Filter as a universal highlight tool. Wether you want to analyze mushrooms, chips or populations, you will always be able to select the values which you want to use to highlight data points. The only disadvantage here: @jthi  had to use a global data filter to provide the functionality - i.e. with all the disadvantages of a global data filter!   The additional benefit of a Select-enabled Local Data filter: If you just have a GraphBuilder report open, you can enable/disable "Dashboard" mode with a single click on the Local Data Filter Icon on the Report Toolbar. Cool, right? So here is my Wish: Please >don't< disable select mode for Local Data Filters.                 more wishes submitted by   ... View more

Hello, Currently, the plot for Life Distribution (without Compare Groups) shows censored points in a plot that's offset above the main plot. However, the same feature does not appear to be supported for Life Distribution (with Compare Groups) and Fit Life by X. Can this be added to these two types of plots as well?   Regards Mehul Shroff ... View more

Hello, I'd like to request an option to plot all datapoints when using Life Distribution or Fit Life by X. Currently, it seems that if the total number of datapoints is greater than some value (1000?), the only one point is plotted per X-value. This can remain a default option but it would be helpful to be able to plot all points. With the current approach, it is difficult to gauge the number of points at each value.

Currently user can select Lightness Range but not the range to use from Color Theme.   For example I would like to have common theme for multiple visualizations in same report. Some of my graphs I want to use diverging colors so I can make the ends more visible   and for other variables I'm only interested in either high or low end (and the gradient towards those ends).   Currently I can do this, but I don't need the middle point grey and I'm not really interested in the green portion either:   So I would like to be able to select range, which would allow me to easily use colors like this: ...
