Additional Examples of the Parallel Plot Platform
The following examples further illustrate using the Parallel Plots platform.
Examine Iris Measurements
The following example uses the Fisher’s Iris data set (Mardia, Kent, and Bibby 1979). The Iris.jmp sample
data table contains measurements of the sepal length and width and petal length and width in centimeters
for three species of Iris flowers: setosa, versicolor, and virginica. To find characteristics that differentiate the
three species, examine these measurements.

1. Open the Iris.jmp sample data table.
2. Select Graph > Parallel Plot.
3. Select Sepal length, Sepal width, Petal length, and Petal width and click Y, Response.
4. Select the Scale Uniformly check box.
5. Click OK.
The report window appears.
Figure 17.10 Three Species in One Parallel Plot
In this parallel plot, the three species are all represented in the same plot. The colors correspond to the three
species, as follows:
• Blue corresponds to virginica.
• Green corresponds to versicolor.
• Red corresponds to setosa.
