Add easily configurable axis breaks to the Graph Builder

I think it should be possible to add custom axis breaks to the Graph Builder, in the same way it is often possible in other graphing software like Origin Lab.

 

At the moment, producing a good display for continuous X-axis data with X-axis grouping is quite involved. For example: if we have continuous timestamps over multiple days, but the data goes only for one hour during each day, but you still want the graph to show the course during a single day.

This functionality is a must for sensor data. For example, Grafana is now supporting this feature.

 

I can see this being built in graph-builder by default.

There is already a wishlist related to this need, as this is not something easy to do in JMP.

Thank you for this suggestion, and for sharing the link to the community discussion. This request has been submitted and is being evaluated for possible inclusion in a future release.

here is another wish with the same topic:

To restrict the time range like in Graphana ...

 

one can use a combination of X-Group and date/time wrap in JMP:

Input: Time series data

X-Group: day

 

 

Date/Time Wrap: Day

 

adjust the range:

In manufacturing, we often encounter arbitrary events that should be excluded from visualizations. For example, periods when a specific measurement falls below a defined value, indicating that the equipment was out of service.

This is option possible under the Control Chart Builder, but not in graph builder.

Where is that option?

well hidden behind "shift" : )

Re: Add easily configurable axis breaks to the Graph Builder

Hm, "Show Excluded rows" (a) works different from "Show excluded region" (b).

 

(a) is used to add excluded data points to a plot.
(b) is used to remove regions with no data from the x axis of a run chart.

 

(b) is now very easy in JMP19: create a virtual index column for the X axis via Col Rank(:row, @ Exclude, @Filter):
