Specify the Transparency of Markers

You can change the transparency of markers (points) on a JMP graph. For example, this lets you control the visibility of overlapping points.

Note: When the drawing speed is set to Fast, the default marker transparency is applied. See Work with Crowded Markers.

1. In a graph, right-click anywhere and select Graph > Transparency.

In a histogram, right-click the box plot area on the right and select Graph > Transparency.

2. Enter the level of transparency that you want the markers (points) to have on the graph and click OK.

A value of 1 indicates total opaqueness and 0 indicates invisibility. Values between 1 and 0 are semi-transparent.
