Add Annotations
You can add editable text notes to a JMP report using the annotate tool . To add an annotation:
1.
Select the annotate tool from the Tools menu or toolbar.
2.
Click the location in the window where you want to add the annotation. Or, click and drag to size the annotation note. A white editable text box appears.
3.
Enter text.
4.
Click outside the annotation. The annotation turns yellow.
5.
(Optional) Right-click the annotation to access the following options:
Background Color
Provides you with a color palette, from which you can select the background color for the annotation.
Text Color
Provides you with a color palette, from which you can select the color for the annotation’s text. The color of the font also defines the color of the annotation outline. If you select the same color for both the background and the font, the font does not show except for black and white. A black font on a black background changes to white, and a white font on a white background appears black.
Font
Lets you change the current font type, style, and size. To change the default font, see Fonts in JMP Preferences.
Tag Line
Attaches a line to the annotation that points to a place in the text, as shown below. To move the line with the annotation to a new position, press the Ctrl key and drag the annotation.
Filled
Removes the background color from the annotation so that it looks transparent. A transparent note is handy for putting titles and footnotes on a graph.
Editable
Makes the annotation editable by double-clicking on it.
Reanchor
Reanchors the annotation.
Delete
Deletes the entire annotation.
Note: When adding multiple annotations, press the Shift key when selecting the annotation tool for the first time. This causes subsequent clicks to add an annotation, and you do not have to select the annotate tool from the toolbar before the addition of each annotation.
Once you have added an annotation, you can do the following:
