make columns more distinct (💚)

[hogi]

☐  cool new feature
☑ could help many users!

☐ removes a „bug“

☐ nice to have

☐ nobody needs it

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):

- make the vertical line between groups thicker

Thanks to Jmp Development for making this feature available in Jmp 18  - really cool.
It got so easy now to pick the right column in platforms :)

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!

[hogi]

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.

In JMP19, Column Tags are added.
They are much more versatile than the color coding of the headers.

extremely helpful!
