Chapter 16 Creating Maps 425<br />

Background Maps<br />

The graph is a typical graph in JMP, which means that all the regular JMP controls are available to you. You<br />

can adjust the axes or use the zoom tool (found on the hidden menu bar) just as you would in JMP. You can<br />

also right-mouse-click to select Size/Scale > Size to Isometric to get your graph back into a proper aspect<br />

ratio. You can also select Background Map, where you can adjust the boundary map.<br />

Once a desirable map is determined, note the URL in the text box at the top <strong>and</strong> the selected layer in the<br />

Layers list. This is the information that you need to enter in the background map window when WMS is<br />

selected as the type of image background map.<br />

Because requests are being made to a server across the Internet, there are a number of conditions that can<br />

generate an error. WMS servers often have limited availability <strong>and</strong> sometimes are not available at all.<br />

Occasionally a WMS server might return a name of a layer that it no longer supports. In these types of cases<br />

(<strong>and</strong> others), a server usually returns an error message in lieu of a map. If that happens, the error message is<br />

displayed below the Layers list in an area labeled Errors.<br />

Boundaries<br />

JMP can display boundaries (such as U.S. states or French region boundaries). These boundaries draw an<br />

outline around a defined area <strong>and</strong> can be displayed alone on a graph or combined with image data. Several<br />

boundaries are installed with JMP. Alternatively, you can create your own boundaries from ESRI shapefiles<br />

or from scratch. Because of this, the list of Boundaries that you see in the Set Background Map window can<br />

be different.<br />

When you add shape files to the built-in locations in JMP, they are available not only for the Graph Builder<br />

platform, but also for the Boundaries option in the Background Map window. In this way, you can add<br />

more political boundaries for use with background maps. Boundary-style maps are vector-based shapes.<br />

Add a Background Map <strong>and</strong> Boundaries<br />

To add a background map <strong>and</strong> boundaries:<br />

1. Right-click a blank area on the graph <strong>and</strong> select Background Map (or select Graph > Background<br />

Map in Graph Builder).<br />

The Set Background Map window appears.
