Using the Crosshairs Tool
On a y-axis, dragging scrolls the y-axis; dragging or scales the y-axis.
On an x-axis, dragging scrolls the x-axis; or scales the x-axis.
You can also right-click in a plot or graph, and select Size/Scale (or Graph > Size/Scale). Choose one of the following options:
To adjust the scale of the X axis, select X Axis. To adjust the scale of the Y axis, select Y Axis or Right Y Axis. For more details about this window, see Customize Axes and Axis Labels in the Axis Settings Window.
Select Size to Isometric when the x- and y-axes are measured in the same units and you want distances on the graph to be represented accurately regardless of direction.
Axis Settings Window for a Numeric (Continuous) Axis
If you selected Date, Time, or Duration, you need to specify the format of the increments. See Add and Remove Axis Labels. You can also specify label row nesting. See Label Row Nesting.
If you selected Fixed Dec, enter the number of decimal places that you want JMP to display in the Dec box.
If you selected Precision, select whether you want to keep trailing zeros and all whole digits.
To add commas to values that equal a thousand or more, select the Use thousands separator option. You must account a space for each comma in the Width box, or else they might not appear. This option is available for the Best, Fixed Dec, Percent, and Currency formats.
Select Reverse Order to reverse the axes by reversing the minimum and maximum values.
The example on the right in Rescale Axis to Enlarge a Plot Section is an enlargement of the point cluster that shows between 80 and 140 in the plot to the left. The enlarged plot is obtained by reassigning the maximum and minimum axis values and changing the number of minor tick marks to 1. (See Extend Divider Lines and Frames for Categorical Axes, for details.)
Rescale Axis to Enlarge a Plot Section
If the axis Format is set to Date, Time, or Duration, a format menu appears beside Increment. See Selecting the Format for Date and Time Increments. Select which format you want the increments to take.
Selecting the Format for Date and Time Increments
To change the starting point of the tick marks, enter a number in the Tick Offset box. For example, if the Tick Offset is currently set to 0, setting it to 1 will move all the values on the axes up by 1.
This option appears only if you have selected Date, Time, or Duration as the axis Format. Label row nesting enables you to split a date axis into multiple rows based on the format. For example, you might put the year on the outermost row, then the month, then the day:

Example of Label Row Nesting
Right-click an axis and select Axis Settings. Click Font.
Select Automatic Font Size to have JMP attempt to decrease the font size (down to a certain minimum) if all of the labels cannot fit at the default size.

Select Automatic Tick Marks to turn on tick marks only if one or more labels is hidden (due to insufficient space).
Select Tick marks inside graph frame to move the tick marks inside the graph.
Select Automatic Tick Marks to turn on tick marks only if one or more labels is hidden (due to insufficient space).
Select Tick marks inside graph frame to move the tick marks inside the graph.
Select Lower Frame to add a frame around the labels.
Change the Tick Mark Style by selecting one of the options.
Note: Parallel and Perpendicular are useful with paired axes, like in Multivariate plots.
2.
In the Value text box, enter the value to which you want the reference line to correspond. This is the position on the graph at which the line is placed.
3.
Enter a Label for the line.
Select Allow Ranges to enter a minimum and a maximum value, which define the beginning and the end of the reference line. The reference line appears over a range of data.
Color changes the line color. You can also specify the opacity.
Line Style specifies the line style (when Allow Ranges is not selected). You can also specify the line width.
5.
Click Add. The value moves into the box to the right of the Add button, indicating that it will be placed on the graph. Your changes appear in the Preview window.
2.
Select Tick Marks > Divider Lines to add the lines, or Lower Frame to add a frame around the axis area.

To remove an axis label, right-click a numeric axis and select Remove Axis Label. The last label added is removed.

Example of a Custom Map Image
Fill Graph: Resizes the image proportionately to fit the graph.
Specify Size: Resizes the image according to the values that you enter. (The units for these values are the same as your graph axes.)
Crop: Crops the image according to the values that you enter. (The units for these values are the same as your graph axes.) For example, the left edge might be positioned at 50. You enter 60 next to Left, and the portion of the image between 50 and 60 is removed from the image.
Flip vertical: Flips the image top to bottom.
Flip horizontal: Flips the image left to right.
Flip both: Flips the image both horizontally and vertically.
Contrast: Optimizes the light and dark colors. Larger values lighten the image.
Despeckle: Removes pixels that do not blend with surrounding pixels. For example, a black pixel surrounded by white pixels is converted to a white pixel.
Edge: Darkens everything but the outlines of objects.
Enhance: Reduces the contrast between pixels in a noisy image.
Gamma: Balances the brightness of an image and the red, green, and blue (RGB) ratios. Larger values create a lighter image.
Gaussian Blur: Blurs pixels by the specified radius. Larger radii create a smoother image. (In JSL, you can also specify the sigma value. Larger sigma values create a smoother image.)
Median: Replaces each pixel color value with the median value of the surrounding pixels.
Negate: Converts each pixel to its complementary color (such as pink to green and white to black).
Normalize: Removes a percentage of the top and bottom color values. The color values are then stretched to fill the remaining image. This process increases the intensity of the colors.
Reduce Noise: Finds the minimum and maximum color values and replaces them with values more consistent with the surrounding pixels. Larger values create a smoother image.
Sharpen: Makes the edges of pixels more distinct.
JMP provides the ability to extract information from images into a data table and then analyze that information. Researchers at WildTrack.org analyze digital footprint photos in JMP to track endangered species. They drag and drop a footprint image into a JMP report and draw data points to capture the size and shape of the print. A JMP Scripting Language (JSL) script extracts those measurements into a data table. At that point, the researchers can analyze the data and determine whether the footprint is from a new animal. This method helps them track populations of endangered species in specific regions of the world.

You can add a graph to a new data table. Right-click on a graph and select Edit > Make table of graphs like this. The graph and the variables appear in a new data table.
