How can I edit Biplot Labels / How can I export editable biplot to Power Point

Question

Dear Community,

I have two questions regarding PCA biplot.

1. Is there a way to export biplot to Power Point that is editable. I have a very crowded plot and I like to change the position of the labels, change color, change font, highlight, etc...

2. Within JMP, how can I change font size & color of just the labels in the biplot? I want to have a separate font size and color for the labels (row label) & variable labels (column name).

It would be nice to have both questions resolved, but I can live with one solution. I hope someone can help me :)

Thanks!

No, the BiPlot graph is passed to PowerPoint as a picture object which is not editable.

2. Within JMP, how can I change font size & color of just the labels in the biplot? I want to have a separate font size and color for the labels (row label) & variable labels (column name).

You can change the Font and Font Size for graph labels, in JMP Preferences.  I do not believe you can change different types of labels to different colors, etc.

Hello Community,

I just learned how to do #1 in "Episode 19 May 18, 2020 JMP on Air," so I'm posting solution to my own problem.

I can "Copy & Paste" the graph into Power Point using "Enhanced Metafile" format. Then, I can "ungroup" and move the labels and change fonts.
