550 Plotting Surfaces Chapter 23
Plot Controls and Settings
Contour allows you to turn on or off a contour grid, either above, below, or on the surface. If turned on,
the Contour Color option is revealed allowing you to change the color.
Limit X and Y to Point Response Column limits the range of the plot to the range of the data in the
Point Response Column, if one is activated. If checked, this essentially restricts the plot from
extrapolating outside the range of the data in the Point Response Column.
The equivalent JSL command for this option is Clip Sheet( Boolean ). You can send this message
to a particular response column by appending the number of the response column. For example, Clip
Sheet2( 1 ) limits the range of the plot to the range of the data of the second response column. See
the Scripting Index in the JMP Help menu for an example.
If you are plotting a Isosurface, right-click on the surface and select Surface Properties to reveal a similar
dialog. You can modify the surface color, opacity, and toggle a mesh.
Other Properties and Commands
Right-click anywhere in the plot area to reveal the following options:
Show Legend
shows a legend when the surface is colored using gradients.
Reset
resets the plot to the original viewpoint. Changes in wall and background color are not affected.
Settings
opens a dialog for changing many plot settings.
Hide Lights Border
shows or hides lighting controls.
Wall Color
allows you to change the plot wall color.
Background Color
allows you to change the plot background color.
Rows allows you to change row colors or markers, and also exclude, hide, and label points. These options
only have affect if points are on the plot.
Use Hardware Acceleration provides for faster rendering of the display. For example, if the plot redraws
slowly when rotating, this option may help it to redraw faster.
