Visualize Your Data

Common Graphs

Visualizing your data is an important first step in discovering insights about your data. This chapter is an introduction to some of JMP’s graphical tools and platforms and presents several of the most common graphs and plots that enable you to visualize and explore data in JMP.

The graphs described in this chapter help you see important details about your data. For example, histograms show you the shape and range of your data and help you find unusual data points. Use JMP to visualize the distribution of single variables or the relationships among multiple variables.
