Adding Elements to a Report
Note: When adding multiple annotations, press the Shift key when selecting the annotation tool for
the first time. This causes subsequent clicks to add an annotation, and you will not have to select the
annotate tool from the toolbar before the addition of each annotation.
Once you’ve added an annotation, you can do the following:
Table 6.2 Using Annotations
Action

Delete an annotation
Instructions
Click inside the text box.
Click inside the annotation box and drag it. When an annotation is
moved, it becomes selected, as indicated by a double blue line with
handles around the perimeter.
Place the cursor on the handle of a selected note (showing in the
middle of the edges and in the corners) and it appears as a single
crossed arrow; drag to resize the annotation.
Highlight the annotation by clicking the handle of a note. Then
press the Delete (or Backspace) key.

Adding Shapes
You can add editable lines, polygons, and simple shapes (ovals or rectangles) to a JMP report using the
drawing tools ( ). The following sections describe how each of these tools can be used.
Note: Each graphics tool remembers the most recent options chosen. This is useful if you need many
annotations or other graphics with the same characteristics. For example, suppose you want many thick
green lines with an arrow on one end. Create a line the way you want it, set the options, and subsequent
lines appear with those options in effect. The options persist until you change them.
Adding a Line
To add a line to a report window:
1 Click the line tool ( ) in the tool palette.
2 Click and drag where you want to insert the line. The line appears selected, showing handles on
both ends, such as is shown in Figure 6.40.
3 Click and drag the line to move it.
4 Click a handle and drag to rotate the line.
5 Right-click (Ctrl-click on the Macintosh) a line for a menu of options to tailor the appearance of the
line, as shown in Figure 6.40.
