Example of a Ternary Plot
Note that most of the finalists are consistent in the composition of total distance. However, two finalists, Jao
and Ko, both have one jump that is not consistent with their other jumps. For example, for three of Jao’s
jumps, the Yat composed about 50% of the total distance, but for the other jump, the Yat composed only
30% of the total distance. That jump is not consistent with the others. A similar observation can be made
about Ko’s jumps.
Launch the Ternary Plot Platform
Launch Ternary Plot by selecting Graph > Ternary Plot.

X, Plotting Assign three columns to generate a ternary plot.
If you assign more than 3 variables to the X, Plotting role, a matrix of ternary
plots is created. A separate variable is assigned to the first two axes of a plot, with
the third axis being the sum of the other variables. If necessary, the variables are
scaled so they sum to 1.
Contour Formula
By
To plot contours of a response surface, assign a column containing a formula to
the Contour Formula role. If you have variables in a Contour formula that are
not listed as X, Plotting variables, JMP appends sliders below the plot so that the
values can be interactively adjusted.
See “Example Using a Contour Function” on page 500.
This option produces a separate graph for each level of the By variable.
