Description
Display Language
Select the language in which you want to run JMP.
The locale settings for your operating system normally determine settings for number, date, and currency formats. Select the option below the language menu to use that language to determine these formats instead.
Text that appears in windows provided by the operating system (for example, File > Open), do not reflect changes in the language setting.
Notes: 
•
After changing the display language, close and restart JMP to have the language settings fully take effect.
•
The languages that you selected in the JMP installation program determine which languages are available. To make a language available, rerun the JMP installation program, select Modify, and then select the language.
Copy/Drag Graphic Formats
Select one or more graphic formats to use when copying and pasting (or dragging and dropping) graphics from JMP into other applications.
Resolution (DPI) for PNG and JPEG Images
Specify the DPI to be used when you copy a graphic format. Choose from the Default (96) or 300. 300 is better for images that must be stretched, embedded in trade publications, or printed. However, this setting uses more memory and is slower to generate for large images.
The following script lets you set the default DPI. Change the number to a different DPI if you want and then run the script.
Pref( Save Image DPI( 600 ) );
To verify the default DPI after you run the preceding script, run the following script:
Get Preferences( Save Image DPI );
For details about specifying a higher DPI, see Setting the Graphic DPI in Save and Share Data.
Graphics Formats
Select the format to use for graphics when you save a JMP report as an RTF file or an HTML file.
In the Graphic Scale Factor % box, enter the percentage at which you want graphics to appear in other applications. This feature might not work with all versions of your chosen application.
