Someone recently asked me about using letters instead of built-in symbols in JMP scatterplots. In case others are wondering the same thing, here's the long answer. In addition to the 32 built-in symbols, you can use any character as a marker for a scatterplot. The easiest way to set a
Kaiser Fung recently critiqued this chart of changes on disposable income. He put forth the idea of using categorized slope graphs instead: How do we do something like that in JMP? We can do paneling and lines with variable color in Graph Builder; we just need to get the data

JMP 11 provided the ability to create an interactive Flash version of the Bubble Plot platform. Our customers wanted us to provide the same functionality using interactive HTML so they would be able to share their bubble plots with colleagues using iPads. They would no longer need to tell their
I recently presented at a webinar on "The Power of Data: Harnessing Ethanol Plant Information for Increased Profitability." This talk followed on the heels of an article, "Putting Data to Work," in Ethanol Producer Magazine in December. The article discussed JMP use at Phibro Ethanol Performance Group, Heron Lake Bioenergy
Interactivity has always been a key feature of JMP that enables discovery through both data exploration and report generation. Transform Columns keep you "in the flow" during initial exploration. Interactive features in reports, such as brushing and selection linking between tables and reports, allow you to continue to ask questions throughout the analysis. The Local
