I've linked a few community.jmp.com resources that use JMP's multi-frame capability with a JSL script that will capture each frame of a Data Filter animation and save it out to an animated GIF. In this quick video, I'm going to demo how to record and save a Bubble Plot GIF animation using the Flu sample data in JMP for Windows without JSL.

JMP has supported the reading and writing of images for some time, and it now supports images with multiple frames such as animated GIFs. GIFs are typically low memory files size animations offering instant visualization of animations. They pretty much work on all modern web browsers and of course can be inserted in Powerpoint presentations. These small GIFs can now be shared in email, a blog, or several other document types.
With that Flu sample data open I'll click and run the 1st Bubble Plot Script.
There's a local Data Filter ready to go using Region. I'll select and filter the first two regions to compare them. I'll increase the Speed some using this slider. I'll offset the Region titles from the bubble by clicking and dragging them.
I'll then select the Play button to preview and make sure it's the animation is what I want.
It's animating using the advancement of date so to restart it I'll slide the date slider back to start, and this time I'll select the record button then select play. When the animation concludes, I'll stop it with the red icon and then select the File save icon then choose an export destination.
It automatically loads into a browser to preview your results. And this animated GIF can then be shared with someone who doesn't have JMP. All you need is an application that displays animated GIFs, such as a browser.
