make columns more distinct (💚)

☑ could help many users!

☐ removes a „bug“

sometimes it's hard to find the right column again and again.

 

some suggestions to make it easier:

- define special colors for special columns (or groups):

Hello,

How is this new feature accessed in JMP 18? I see a reference to a video, but I don't see a link to it. If someone could provide a pointer to the video, that would be great.

Thanks in advance,

AW

Hello,

Is there a way to color the column headers using JSL?

I have looked through the functions but couldn’t find an answer.

I know there is the command to color the cells, but is there an equivalent command to change the header background color, like the right-click > Header Background Color option?

Column("TEST") << Color Cells("Light Blue")

 

Thank you!

good question.

col << Set Header Background Color( "Red" );
col << Set Header Text Color( "Magenta" );

surprisingly, the setting is not saved via Copy Column and not saved via Save Table Script.
