Adds error bars to charts based on means. A window opens, prompting you
to select the type of error bar. If error bars already exist on a chart, you can
change the error bar type. See “Adding Error Bars” on page 319 for a
description of error bar types.
Stacks the bars from levels of a subgroup end-to-end. To use this option,
you need two Categories, X, Levels variables and a statistic. See “Create a
Stacked Bar Chart” on page 331, for an example of stacking bars.
Contains the options described in “Y Options” on page 323. To apply these
options to a single Y variable, highlight that variable in the legend first.
Selects colors and markers. If no levels (bars, points, or pie slices) are
selected, the color or marker that you select is applied to all levels. If you
select one or more levels, the color or marker that you select is applied only
to the selected levels. See “Coloring Bars in a Chart” on page 321.
Attaches labels to your plots. In the Label Options menu, the first two
options (Show Labels and Remove Labels) turn labels on and off. The
last three options (Label by Value, Label by Percent of Total Values,
Label By Row) specify what label should appear. Only one label can be
shown at a time. Label options are also available by right-clicking in the
chart.
Toggles the connecting line in a line chart to be thick or thin.
Shows the Y legend of the plot. This option is on by default for overlaid
charts.
Shows the level legend of the plot. This option is on by default when the
Show Separate Axes option is selected.
Duplicates the axis notation for each chart when there are multiple charts.
By default, the axis notation only shows for the last chart displayed if the
charts are not overlaid. This option is not available for grouped charts.
Moves level identifiers from the right side of the charts to beneath the charts
for individual charts when a grouping variable is specified.
This menu contains commands that are available to all platforms. They
enable you to redo the analysis or save the JSL commands for the analysis to
a window or a file. For more information, see Using JMP.
Y Options
The following section describes the Y Options submenu. These commands apply to all Y variables, unless
you have a legend level highlighted, then they apply to only the highlighted Y variable.
