Add Labels to Markers
When you position the arrow cursor over a point in a plot, the point’s label appears. By default, the label is the row number. There are three ways that you can customize the label:
•
You can change the label so that it displays values found in one or more columns instead of the row number.
•
You can enable the label to appear always, not just when you position the cursor over points.
•
You can click the label with the Arrow tool and drag it to a new location. If a label is dragged a certain distance away from the marker, then a tail is added connecting the label to its point.
For details about changing the appearance of marker labels, see Reports in JMP Preferences.
To display values found in one or more columns instead of the row number
1.
In the data table, highlight the column(s) whose values you want to appear as the label in plots.
2.
Select Label/Unlabel from one of the following places:
–
the Cols menu
–
the red triangle menu in the Columns panel
–
the top red triangle menu in the upper left corner of the data grid
A label or yellow tag icon beside the column name in the Columns panel indicates that points on plots are identified by the column value. If there are multiple labeled columns, their values appear on plots separated by a comma. Data remains labeled until you highlight the column and select Label/Unlabel again.
To enable the label to appear always, not just when you position the cursor over points
1.
Highlight the point(s) whose label you want to always appear in plots.
2.
Right-click anywhere in a graph. In a histogram, right-click the box plot area on the right.
3.
Select Row Label.
A label or yellow tag icon beside the row number in the data table indicates that points on plots corresponding to the row appear with a label.
