Example of Creating a Map in Graph Builder
This example uses the Crime.jmp sample data table, which contains data on crime rates for each US state.
1.
Select Help > Sample Data Library and open Crime.jmp.
2.
Select Graph > Graph Builder.
3.
Drag and drop State into the Map Shape zone.
4.
Drag and drop Burglary into the Color zone.
Example of Burglary by State
Note the following:
•
The latitude and longitude appear on the Y and X axes.
•
The legend shows the colors that correspond to the burglary rates. Since Burglary is a continuous variable, the colors are based on a continuous color theme. Example of Burglary by State uses the JMP default continuous theme. You can change the theme under File > Preferences > Graphs.
•
The map is projected so that relative areas are not distorted (the 49th parallel across the top of the US is not a straight line).
