Contour Profiler
• If you have more than two factors, use the radio buttons in the upper left of the report to switch the
graph to other factors.
• Right-click on the slider control and select Rescale Slider to change the scale of the slider (and the plot
for an active X variable).
• For each contour, there is a dotted line in the direction of higher response values, so that you get a sense
of direction.
• Right-click on the color legend for a response (under Response) to change the color for that response.

Grid Density
lets you set the density of the mesh plots (Surface Plots).
Graph Updating gives you the options to update the Contour Profiler Per Mouse Move, which updates
continuously, or Per Mouse Up, which waits for the mouse to be released to update. (The difference
might not be noticeable on a fast machine.)

draws contours on the Contour Profiler plot at intervals you specify.
Mixtures
Factor Settings is a submenu of commands that allows you to save and transfer the Contour Profiler’s
settings to other parts of JMP. Details are in the section “Factor Settings” on page 565.
Simulator launches the Simulator. See “The Simulator” on page 592.
Up Dots shows or hides dotted lines corresponding to each contour. The dotted lines show the direction
of increasing response values, so that you get a sense of direction.
For mixture designs, a Lock column appears in the Contour Profiler (Figure 24.27). This column allows
you to lock settings for mixture values so that they are not changed when the mixture needs to be adjusted
due to other mixture effects being changed. When locked columns exist, the shaded area for a mixture
recognizes the newly restricted area.
