Hi all, this might be extremely trivial but would really appreciate the help. I am trying to plot ( in graph builder) a dot plot , where i have the symbols

• Red: Circle/FilledCircle
• Blue: Square/FilledSquare
• Grey: Triangle/FilledTriangle

once i introduce the filled to empty symbol filter in overlay i cannot the chage marker type. is there a simple way to do that .

 

thank you for the help

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do. You can change marker and colors from the legend in graph builder.

Re: associate a symbol type to a dot color

In general, a user can control the settings in Graph builder via Column Properties.

To get an automatic link between Marker Type and Color, you can apply a Value Color - and vote here to get the  new Column Property: Value Markers .

Re: associate a symbol type to a dot color

Without this new functionality you can either apply all the settings manually.

Alternatively, you can:
a) select paired value markers in the preferences:

 

b) define your color groups and use Overlay and Color in combination

... to get all the settings adjusted automatically:

 

 

dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
ageGrous=New Column ("ageGroups", Nominal, Formula(if(age < 14,1,age < 16,2,3)));
Graph Builder(
	Variables(
		X( :age ),
		Group X( :ageGroups ),
		Overlay( :age ),
		Color( :ageGroups )
	),
	Elements( Points( X, Legend( 14 ) ) )
);
