how to connect points with lines in graph builder?In graph builder，After plotting the "Points"，how to connect points with lines？I knew use "Smoother" or "Lines" to plot lines, but the lines don't connect the points. Just like the attached picture.
Re: how to connect points with lines in graph builder?I want individual points to connect, not their mean.
There are 4 Y's for each X. I want all Y1`'s across X to connect, then the Y2's across X, and so on ....in the plot below. In the plot below there are multiple lines for every 'analyte_level 2'; i want each line's dots connected.
Re: how to connect points with lines in graph builder?It was only recently that I realized that "Overlay" is likely a reference to the old days when we had overhead projectors. You could print a plot on an overhead slide (acetate sheet), and then print a different plot on a different slide, and then "overlay" them and make them look like they were plotted on top of each other. In your case, each line/recipe combination gets its own slide, and the lines break appropriately.
Re: how to connect points with lines in graph builder?Thanks! I found the same cause and solution. Dragging the group identifier column over to the overlay field (or to the legend space) instead of the color field in graph builder and adding a line gives the desired result:
Re: how to connect points with lines in graph builder?The issue should be resolved if you drag the column you are using as the Color option, to the Overlay box. It will then treat each grouping as separate groups.
Re: how to connect points with lines in graph builder?I have the same issue. Ticking the row order checkbox, the last point of one group is connected to the first point of the next group, very frustrating. Also notice there's no option for simple point value (or "none") under the line summary statistic drop-down menu.
Re: how to connect points with lines in graph builder?Why are my tails connecting to each other, I have it separated by instrument type and I would like the connected points to only connect for that inst:
See the green - it connects the last point for the red line to the first point of the green line.
Re: how to connect points with lines in graph builder?Yes, it is another case of "it is easy if you know how."
I suggest that you spend time in the Essential Graphing guide included in the JMP Documentation library. You can of course skip some sections about specific plots that you are not currently using. It is a different paradigm for making a plot than before, it is more flexible and powerful than any of legacy platforms.
Re: how to connect points with lines in graph builder?As a long-time JMP user (since version 2.0), I have resisted until recently using the new Graph Builder since I was able to easily do what I needed with the now-legacy Overlay Plot functionality. Having recently upgraded to v16, it appears the legacy Overlay Plot function has been altered. Anyway I had been struggling to figure out how to get a simple connect-the-dots set of scatter plots. Your comment solved that problem. I do find it highly annoying that such a simple function is non-obvious, at least as compared to the "legacy" Overlay Plot.
Re: how to connect points with lines in graph builder?You must select the Line element either by clicking the icon above the plotting frame or by right-clicking in the frame and select Add > Line
Re: how to connect points with lines in graph builder?Sorry, I meant to say another way to create the lines that connect to the points.
Re: how to connect points with lines in graph builder?I'm not getting the "Row Order" option when I create my graph. Is there another way to create the points?
I'm using JMP 16.1.0.
Re: how to connect points with lines in graph builder?You can get what you want by selecting the "Row Order" check box. Make sure your data are sorted in the row order you want the connections to be made through
Re: how to connect points with lines in graph builder?I am facing the same issue.
