Change the Marker Drawing Mode and Transparency

When working with a large number of markers on a graph, the markers can appear crowded. If this is the case, you might need to alter the transparency to gain a better view. Altering the transparency might also affect the marker drawing mode, which is the mode JMP uses when it refreshes a report window. As it draws markers on a plot, it uses one of two speeds: normal or fast.

To change the marker drawing speed

1.

Right-click anywhere in a graph. In a histogram, right-click the box plot area on the right.

2.

Select Marker Drawing Mode, and then select either Normal or Fast.

If JMP is in normal drawing mode and the number of markers in a graph are more than the specified threshold number, JMP automatically switches to fast mode. See Reports in JMP Preferences, for details about setting the marker threshold.

Graphs displaying a large number of markers appear faster if you set the marker drawing speed to Fast. Note that when the drawing speed is set to Fast, marker size reverts to Preferred Size, and marker transparency settings revert to the default opaqueness.

See Add Outlines Around Markers.

To fill hollow markers

In the JMP preferences, select Graphs and then select Fill Hollow Markers. Hollow markers on all graphs are filled with an opaque background.
