Easy way to generate a scatterplot matrix using the GraphBuilder?<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />I was wondering if there is an easy way to generate a scatterplot matrix in the graph builder. I would like to create something like this:
My problem is, that I need to pull over each variable on the x-axis one at a time. If I select multiple variables the GraphBuilder will generate the - for my purposes no so useful - overlayplot:
I'm using this kind of graph often when it comes to the analysis of DoEs and I have 8+ variables on the x-Axis. Then it takes so much time to pull over each variable one at a time.
Thanks for any advice!

Re: Easy way to generate a scatterplot matrix using the GraphBuilder?Hi Kelly,
The dialog box option for Graph Builder was added in JMP 12 so I'm sorry to say in JMP 11 and earlier there isn't a direct way to do this. Stacking or a custom script would be the next best thing if you want to stay in Graph Builder. Graph > Scatterplot Matrix is also an option and will work well with all continuous Xs.

Re: Easy way to generate a scatterplot matrix using the GraphBuilder?I'm not seeing it in Windows JMP 11.1.1, either.
Is the Dialog box a new feature in version 12?
Re: Easy way to generate a scatterplot matrix using the GraphBuilder?Hi Julian,
While the Dialog Button you mentioned would be super useful for my purposes, I don't see it on my Mac version of JMP (11.1.1). Does anyone know if the Mac version includes this feature somewhere else?
Thanks,
Kelly
Re: Easy way to generate a scatterplot matrix using the GraphBuilder?Thanks so much! That is exactly what I was looking for.
I never had a look at that dialog button before. 
Re: Easy way to generate a scatterplot matrix using the GraphBuilder?Wow....I have never seen this before......I learn something new about JMP every day.......
Re: Easy way to generate a scatterplot matrix using the GraphBuilder?Hi sebastianhoffmeister ,
The easiest way to do this is by using the Dialog feature of graph builder with a graph matrix
- Launch Graph Builder
- Click "Dialog"
- Cast variables into roles
- Check box for "Graph Matrix"
- Click ok
Here's a short video showing that:
I hope this helps!

Re: Easy way to generate a scatterplot matrix using the GraphBuilder?Why not just use Analyze > Fit Y By X, and then provide all the different X's. You would get something like this:
Re: Easy way to generate a scatterplot matrix using the GraphBuilder?The 2 methods that I can think of would be to Tables==>Stack the columns you want on your X axis, and then use the "Label" column from the stack as an X Grouping variable. Or, a very simple script, which could be turned into an addin could be written that would take the X columns you specify and generate the Graph Builder code to generate the graph you want.
