Overlaying histograms and distributions

Question

I would do like to do something similar to this in JMP.

is it possible to do it in the graph builder?

And if you tinker a little bit with customize options you can also modify how the kernel density looks (modify line style, width and set fill pattern to no fill)

Idea here (and with earlier solution) is to add two distributions on top of each other, one with Bar and one with Kernel Density style. You can do this by right clicking on the graph and select Add > Histogram and then modify the settings

Hi,

this is not exactly your plot but you can build overlayed distributions in the Graph Builder like this:

Datatable = open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp") << 
Graph Builder(
	Size( 528, 456 ),
	Show Control Panel( 0 ),
	Variables( X( :height ), X( :weight, Position( 1 ) ) ),
	Elements(
		Histogram(
			X( 1 ),
			X( 2 ),
			Legend( 5 ),
			Histogram Style( "Kernel Density" ),
			Smoothness( 0.1743 )
		),
		Histogram( X( 1 ), X( 2 ), Legend( 10 ) )
	),
	SendToReport(
		Dispatch( {}, "height", ScaleBox,
			{Min( 38.5123966942149 ), Max( 183 ), Inc( 10 ), Minor Ticks( 1 )}
		)
	)
);

Cheers,
