2. To display a background, do one of the following:
– Select Simple Earth, Detailed Earth or NASA server, in the Images column.
– Select Web Map Service and paste a WMS URL next to URL. Type the layer identifier next to
Layer.
3. To display geographic borders on the map, select an option in the Boundaries column (If you installed
your own boundary shapefiles, they are also listed in this column).
4. Click OK.
If the NASA or WMS map does not appear after you add it, the map server might not be available. View
the error log to verify the problem.
Custom Map Images
There are two ways to use your own map images:
• Assign the Map Role column property in a data table and specify the path to the map. For details, see
“Map Role” on page 414.
• You can create a map image in a graphics program and drag and drop the image onto a report.
After you add a map image, you can change certain display properties, such as adding state boundaries and
setting the transparency level.
JSL Scripting
Background maps can be scripted in JSL. You can write a script that creates a graph, and then turns on the
background map in the script. For more information about scripting, see the Scripting Guide.
To access the background map functionality through JSL, find an example in the Samples Data directory.
For example, run JMP and open the sample data file called Hurricanes.jmp. Edit the script called Bubble
Plot with Map. Look for the command in the script that begins with Background Map.
