![]() I share with bobmorrane the feeling that Graph Builder is the best part of JMP (along with Tabulate). I'd rather see the JMP designers work on integrating more of the analysis platforms into Graph Builder. I do agree, however, that the look of graphs, even after adjustment, are still somewhat less professional looking than what you can get from Tableau. The idea what you want "prettier" graphs kind of upsets me - perhaps it is just a poor choice of words, but many "pretty" colors or visual effects are simply bad practice. Sure, some additional graph types would be nice but only marginal improvements. First, many of the modifications are already fairly easy to do in Graph Builder (have you tried to use the Customize option on the graph? It provides many of the things you are looking for). I actually don't agree with these wishes. Isn't that a hell of a lot nicer to look at than the one below? ![]() Here is an example of a better looking graph, you can make in Excel, in one click from an existing graph: ![]() I don't believe one can make spider charts either: (where it can still be edited and resized).Īlso there are some visualisations that are missing.įor example scatterplot on top of bar chart : Even better would be if this could be pasted in powerpoint in the same way an excel graph is pasted. I mean Text box in the sense of how they behave in MS Word/ Powerpoint, that you can just click on and resize. Being able to easily change this would be great.Ī good way to do this would be for each element in the graph to behave like a Text box. Especially if you use overlay/colors etc. There are some situations where the text is a bit too long for the legends, so sometimes you end up with a legend taking half the space of the graph. Same for changing colours and other elements.īeing able to resize everything in the graph builder. I would be much quicker to have a Font Size button in a toolbar, rather than having to open a separate window for this. Example: I want to place a graph on a powerpoint presentation and the axis legends are a bit small. Hatch patterns, hollow bars, 3D bars, etc.īeing able to easily choose where the legends are, having a few pre-selected layouts, like these models from Excel:īeing able to more easily change various aspect of a graph. Wouldn't it be nice if we add some options to customize that? You know, all the small things you can do in Excel to make graphs pretty.įor examples, giving bars in bar chart a different aspect. Everything is one solid colour, no difference between outline and fill colour, no effects of shadow, transparency, perspective, everything is flat. ![]() Always the same layout and colours.Īlways with this same basic look, with a really oldschool win98 feel to it. It feels like all the graphs I make look the same. So, GB is great but it kinda lacks polish. I'm also pretty sure that a lot of JMP users use only the graph builder and barely any other functionalities, so I believe there is a strong business case to keep improving it. It is very powerful and allows to make a lot of visualization in an easy way, much quicker than you could ever do in Excel. I believe the graph builder is the best part of JMP.
