Graph Builder: Change axis settings for a single individual

Question

Hello everybody,

I am looking for a way to highlight an individual label in the Graph Builder.

Here is an example of the kind of graph I want to create (using Big Class.jmp)

I want to focus on Tim and I would like the label "TIM" to be written in bold, or red, or anything that could help me to quickly identify it. I would like something visible by default on the graph and not having to use the Row editor for example.

Do you have any idea?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you @jules and @txnelson for this very interresting trick!

It is indeed a nice way to quickly find an individual.

However when we have a high number of indivuals with long names this solution may be less efficient...

Do you know if ts there any possibility to change the color of the label for example?

Hi @anne_sa,

Similar to what @txnelson suggested, in situations like these I've set a Value Label in the column properties for just that row so that I wouldn't need to do any recoding of the data. In your example for instance, you could have **TIM** as the Value Label for TIM and that would let you quickly find that row when using the Name column on one of the axes.

A method that I have used in the past, has been to create a subset data table and then to change the value of "Tim" to something like "****** Tim".  This will make the displayed value stand out, however, it also requires that any JSL be able to understand that "******* Tim" needs to be handled when dealing with the original data.
