Unlocking the Advanced Power of Graph Builder

[#1]

See how to:

• Use 4 main techniques for editing graph
  • R-Click menu in the middle of the graph
  • Change graph type, for example from points to bars to heat-map
  • Add a graph type, for example overlapping a heat map with a box plot and lines
  • 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
• Create overlapped and stacked curves (Example 1)
• Use mapping, stacked bar chart and area curves and a Local Data Filter (Example 2)
• Import and use multiple files (example 3)
• Create histograms for multiple response variables (Example 4)
• Use export rather than screen shots to save high quality graphs
  • Rasterized images (including jpeg, png, bmp, tiff) lose quality because of pixels and can’t be edited after export
  • Vector graphics (including svg, emf, pdf)
• Understand how to set background color in JMP>Preferences> Report - Check-mark Transparent backgrounds

Questions answered by Monique @monique_lander and Scott @scwise at the live webinar demo:

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.

How do I add tabular data to a graph? It is in your journal but not in the video. Thanks!

Do you mean the new feature in JMP17 where you can add caption boxes and change their location to Axis Table
