Remove non labels from hovering informationHi All,
I was wondering if the is a way to define that coordinates will not be shown when hovering the cursor over points?
By default, when hovering the cursor over a point in any graph, the label is given together with the coordinates. I would like only the labels to be shown. In the example picture, I would like not to see the height and weight but just the name.
Thank you!
Re: Remove non labels from hovering informationI found a quite convenient way: Instead of opening the Hover Label Editor,
place the mouse over a data point to open a Hover Label - then right-click on the hover label and click on edit
In the menu, there is a preview Hover Label visible on the left where you can click on entries and remove them:

Re: Remove non labels from hovering informationOr anybody else?
Where do I have to click to delete all entries?

Cool!
Up to now I fiddled around by copying individual column names to remove them step by step - I always missed a drop-down menu which gives me the chance to pick a column instead of typing it in.
Actually, it will be much easier to remove all of them and just add the ones that I need.
What is the easiest way to do so?
Can I use wildcards - or ranges for the index?
Re: Remove non labels from hovering informationAh:
If the user presses CTRL at the moment he clicks on HoverLabel/Paste Graphlet, the code is applied to every single Framebox.
I knew this trick to apply synchronous changes to report structures, but did not know that it works as well for functions in the Graph Builder right click menu.
cool!
Just try: CTRL + Graph/Background Color ...
Re: Remove non labels from hovering informationIf the graph contains subplots via Wrap, Group Y or Group X, the Hover Label Editor even allows to define for each subplot different values to be added or removed from the respective hover labels.
On the other hand:
Is there also a possibility to define the same setting for all subplots at once, like a checkbox in Hover Label Editor: apply to all plots?
Or is the only way to code it in JSL?

Re: Remove non labels from hovering informationThanks @julian and @Mark_Bailey for the correct solution.
@ron_horne:You could make your hoverlabel customization more dynamic by taking advantage of the different types of Matching Criteria supported by the Gridlet operators. Let's say you are still experimenting with your graph, and assigning different variables to the X and Y roles. You could refer to the entries you want to remove by Index (one of the options under the Matching Criteria dropbox) and add delete operators for 2 or 3 entries after the first one, which contains the label you want to see.
You can even delete all entries and then use the Append operator to add any content you want - even the values for columns that don't have the Label flag set.
Re: Remove non labels from hovering informationDiabolical!
Re: Remove non labels from hovering informationHey @ron_horne,
Please see my updated reply above -- there is indeed a way to do this.
@julianRe: Remove non labels from hovering informationThank you @julian
For me this would be quite useful in case of dots on a map. Most times i need other information than the coordinates.
Re: Remove non labels from hovering informationthank you @stan_koprowski ,
this is a step in the right direction.
Re: Remove non labels from hovering informationHi @ron_horne
As far as I know, there is not an out-of-the-box method for suppressing the default hover label data, even with the Hover Label Editor options now available in JMP 15. The Hover Label Editor will let you add additional information (and graphics!) to the hover, but any variable used in a data graphing or decoration role (i.e., X , Y, Overlay, Color, and Size) will always be included in the hover.
EDIT:
After some prompting by @Mark_Bailey who was sure he saw a way to do this, I investigated further and there is indeed a way to do what you need. You'll use the "Gridlet" option in the hover label editor, where you have the option to modify existing labels by name. Here's how you would do it for your example using Big Class:
- Enter the Hover Label editor by right-clicking the graph > Hover Label > Hover Label Editor
- Select the Gridlet section on the left
- In the "Delete" tab (the first tab at the top) we may enter the name of the variables we would like to remove from the Hover Label. I'll enter "height" and click Add, and then "weight" and click Add. Do not quote these entries when entering them (even though they will appear quoted once added).
Your hover label will now show only the labeled column of Name:
I hope this helps, and thanks @Mark_Bailey for the correction!

Link to information regarding editing hover labels and customization.
You will find options for textlets, graphlets, and gridlets.
cheers,

Re: Remove non labels from hovering informationthanks @gzmorgan0 for the tip.
digging a bit further i found this hover label editor. but there is no reference to it anywhere. Perhaps it is hiding somewhere in this feature.
Re: Remove non labels from hovering information@ron_horne,
The only method I know of would require a custom display:
- Turn off the report preference of Hover Help.
- Encapsulate graph with a MouseBox container that tracks and whose function displays the row label.
It will be interesting is there is a method to do this. If not, this would make a good wishlist item: add a Graph Preference toggle option to show point "values" (similalry for point "labels"?) .
