Modifying Graphy builder properties

As a first comment, hats off to the JMP team for the JMP19 upgrade.  The new Data Table features are absolutely fantastic.  Well done.

Now if you could only fix the Graph Builder.  Ordinarily the default presets for the graphics are fine. And saving the graphs as presets is a helpful additions. But still, I wish that the "Edit Properties" window worked a little better. Some components of the graph just are not editable under properties. For instance, how is the Graph Builder Group Box editable? This is an item on the graph that cannot be edited.  Under preferences there are some area of the graph that may be changed globally but I have not yet found this menu for changing the background color of the boxes.  Any help??

Re: Modifying Graphy builder properties

I agree that the edit functions are a bit scattered.  To change the font, the preferences dialog for the Graph platform must be edited.  I found that solution a while ago.

 

Gets to my point though, the properties menu should be the all purpose method for customizing reports, graphics and images.  The menu is already close to that of a fully fledged graphics editor, might as well allow all components of the graph to be editable.
