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.

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.

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
