Right-click to change Group font and font size

How is it possible to change the Font setting of Y Group in graph builder?

 

I'm using JMP Pro 14.1

 

It is not possible to right-click to change those as with e.g the x-axis.

 

The Group font and font size are controlled by the "Text" size as specified in the Preferences for JMP.  They are not controlled as an individual graph by graph setting.

     File --  Preferences -- Fonts 

 

It would be nice to be able to control the fonts by right-clicking

Hi @TimboK .

Thanks for supporting this wish

 

On the other hand, the benefit of Jmp is so big that your company could think about switching to Jmp before the issue is fixed.

 

Something like 

If(Arg(Arg(Get Preferences( text font ),1),2)<14,
Preferences( text font("Segoe UI", 14) ),Preferences( text font("Segoe UI", 9) ))

would allow your company to benefit from the power of Jmp in the meantime.

JMP16 Pro

 

I agree that this has been frustrating and one of the main reasons our group has not widely implemented JMP for visualization.  For instance, the seeming inability to change the size of the fonts in the first two images below means that using the graphs in presentations requires extra steps to make the labels viewable.  We have to make text boxes with legible sized fonts to paste over each graphs from JMP that we would like to use.  Maybe this oversight will have been fixed in JMP17?

Ok, let's split the "wishes"

Wish for the option to delete GraphBuilderGroupBoxes:
https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Wish-List/function-to-delete-subplot-titles-orany-GraphBuilderGroupBox-in/idi-p/554858

 

Please don't restrict the wish here to Y Group.

Same topic for X group and the indivdual subplot titles when using "wrap" (GraphBuilderGroupBoxes in general)

Re: Right-click to change Group font and font size

@hogi I don't think that's the point here. We want to be able to change the font size within the plot using right mouse click, in the same way the axes labels and graph title work. Right now it's only linked to the "Text" font in the general JMP settings, which in turn messes up everything in other locations in JMP when changed.

Re: Right-click to change Group font and font size

I guess most of us want to reduce the font size - to give the plots more room:

The ultimate step: remove the titles (and get the info via hover label)

I see the status is still set to "new" for this item, any reason why it's not approved for implementation? The current behaviour is frustrating to work with and the earliest community posts are almost 10 years old.

I agree that there could be better options to handle this in Graph Builder. The following wish goes in the same direction and might be of interest to you:
