Graph Builder provides a drag-and-drop interface with zones, easily selectable graphing options, interactive filters and a variety of ways to view basic statistics about your data. See to change graph type, overlap multiple graph types, display and report on multiple Y-variables on the same axes, manipulate the axes and change the order of graph items.
See how to:
- Use 4 main techniques for editing graph
- R-Click menu in the middle of the graph
- Change or add graph types
- Deploy the Customize Option: Control the drawing order of items in graphs
- Use Red Triangle
- Show/hide titles and axes
- Change legend position and settings
- Use R-Click menu of each axis to change axis settings or add reference line
- Click on the legend to change markers and lines settings or add a label to a line
- Change a graph type
- R-click in the middle of the graph>Click on the type of graph>Click on Change to>Choose what type of graph to change it to
- Overlap multiple graph types
- R-click in the middle of the graph>Add>Choose the type of graph to add
- Work with multiple Y-variables
- Overlap them on same Y axis
- Stack them on Y axes
- Use right and left axes
- How to manipulate the axes
- How to use Shift/Ctrl or Shift/Command
- Use a Local Data Filter
- Import and use multiple files
- Create histograms for multiple response variables
Questions answered by Marilyn Wheatley at the 2024 live webinar as well as those answered at an earlier live webinar on this topic.
Q: Can these graph edits be saved permanently using preferences or settings?
A: JMP 18 has a new feature "Presets" that does just that. You can save the custom settings for any platform to reuse again later or share with other JMP users.
Q: Can you make the middle line that separates the two graphs a lot thick, or move the two apart?
A: You can go to the upper red triangle and select Graph spacing. A new window will come up where you can increase the size from the default of 1.
Q: To import multiple files, do columns need to be in the same order?
A: No, columns don’t have to be in the same order.
Q: Can I do a bar chart and scatter points both on the Y-axis.
A: Yes, see the video below.
Q: Can you show some binned column options?
A: Yes, I used binned data in one of my examples. See how in video below.
Q: How do I set background color?
A: In JMP>Preferences> Report - Check-mark Transparent backgrounds.
Q: Can the preferences be changed to where the smoother is NOT on by default?
A: You can go to Preferences > Platforms > Graph Builder and deselect the auto smoother option for when you start a Graph Builder.
Q: Can I animate a Data Filter in Graph Builder?
A: Yes, see below.
Q: Can we visualize numerical and catagorical in Y-axis with Time as X-axis?
A: Yes, you can look at both numerical and categorical Y axis factors over a time X axis. Besides points, you will have different additional graph display element options based on the type of Y data type you use.
Q: For customizations, you can ask JMP to remember them, right?
A: Yes, Saving the JMP Script for the graph will retain ALL selections you make (axses, labels, element, etc.). Also the JMP 17 Workflow Builder is a great way to capture the scripting in your work flow.
Q: Where can I create a Wafer Map?
A: In the JMP Community see how to use the Semiconductor Wafer Map to creaet a Heat Map using the Semiconductor Toolkit Add-In.
Q: Would defects found be separated in the x-axis?
A: If defects found is treated categorical you can next multiple categorical Xs. You could also use the Top X or Left Y Graph Builder planel to get some range graph panels of even continuous factors.
