I am running a fundraising drive for a professional society, and we are trying to reach a goal of $10,000 in donations (no, this is not a shameless plug!). I am thinking plotting the data on a thermometer or something like this would look better than simply a bar graph.
I very poorly traced a portion of the thermometer using the "custom map shape" add-in (see attached files). Now, I can essentially turn off and on sections of the thermometer to show progress (likely binning by ~$1,000). But even if I meticulously trace this, I'm thinking it still won't look very good. My question is: am I over-thinking this? I'm thinking this might be a common-enough graphing goal that someone (a user or JMP employee) may have already developed a good graphic for showing "financial progress." Is there any sort of "custom shape" archive? I feel like I heard about this at one point! Well, I guess this may be more of a "graphmanship" question than a JMP question, but I am open to any suggestions of how to make a nice figure in JMP that will show progress towards an end goal (as it will be posted online, it would ideally support interactive HTML)!
