Figure 16.37 Bubble Plot of Katrina Data.jmp with Background Map
Click Run to view the animation of the hurricane data moving over the background map. You can
manipulate the speed and the bubble size. Experiment with different options and view the displays. Adjust
the axes or use the zoom tool to change what part of the area you are viewing. Add boundaries to the states.
The map adjusts as the view does.
Office Temperature Study
This example demonstrates the creation of a custom background map for an office temperature study and
how JMP was used to visualize the results. Data was collected concerning office temperatures for a floor
within a building. A map was created for the floor using the Custom Map Creator add-in from the JMP File
Exchange page. Using Graph Builder, the office temperature results were then analyzed visually.
The map shown below is the floor, grouped by time of day, with color reflecting the Fahrenheit value.
Exploring data visually in this way can give hints as to what factors are affecting office temperature. Looking
at this map, it appears the offices on the east side of the building are warmer in the mornings than they are
in the afternoons. On the western side of the building, the opposite appears to be true. From this
visualization, we might expect that both of these variables are affecting office temperatures, or perhaps that
the interaction between these terms is significant. Such visuals help guide decision-making during the
analysis.
