Bubble Plot Platform Options

The Bubble Plot red triangle menu provides the following options:

Applies a fill or outline.

–

Select Filled to fill all of the bubbles.

–

Select Outlined to outline all of the bubbles.

–

Select Filled and Outlined to fill and outline all of the bubbles.

Change the shape of the bubble.

You can create a custom shape using JSL. The Custom option opens the custom shape. If no custom shape has been created, the Custom option uses the default circle shape. For more information about creating custom shapes, see Create New Graphs from Scratch and Customize Them in the Scripting Guide.

Orients the shapes as they move in particular directions over time, following the shape of the data.

This option appears only if you have specified a variable for Time.

Shows the past history of bubbles as a semi-transparent trail. See Example of Specifying Only a Time Variable.

Note the following:

–

This option appears only if you have specified a variable for Time.

–

If you do not want to see the bubble labels, select the Label > None option.

Shows the past history of bubbles as connected line segments. See Example of Specifying Only a Time Variable.

Note the following:

–

This option appears only if you have specified a variable for Time.

–

If you do not want to see the bubble labels, select the Label > None option.

–

Select None to label none of the bubbles in the plot.

–

Select All to label all of the bubbles in the plot.

–

Select Selected to label bubbles only when you select them.

Note: Click and drag on a label to move it.

Change the colors representing the high, middle, and low values of the color variable.

This option appears only if you have specified a variable for Coloring.

Revert Color Theme

Reverts back to the original color theme.

This option appears only if you have applied a color theme.

Shows a legend that describes the colors in the bubble plot.

This option appears only if you have specified a variable for Coloring.

Selectable Across Gaps

If a bubble is selected, this option keeps the bubble selected during time periods where data is missing. Otherwise, the bubble is not selected during time periods where data is missing.

Shows the variables that are used in the bubble plot. You can change and delete the variables. See Show Roles.

Splits all bubbles into their constituent parts. Unlike the Split button, the bubbles do not have to be selected.

This option appears only if you have specified two ID variables.

Combines all constituent bubbles within a group into their larger bubble. Unlike the Combine button, the bubbles do not have to be selected.

This option appears only if you have specified two ID variables.

Prevents axis scales and gradient legend scales from automatically adjusting in response to data or filtering changes.

Determines whether the plot is resized as you resize the JMP window. The default setting is Auto, which bases the scaling on the contents of the plot. For example, a plot with By variables does not stretch to fit the resized window; the plot extends beyond the viewing area. Change the setting to On to always fit the plot inside the window. Change the setting to Off to prevent the plot from resizing.

Aggregation Options

Alters how the X, Y, and Sizes roles are computed. By default, the values are calculated using means for X and Y, and sums for Sizes.

–

Selecting X as Sum or Y as Sum computes the X and Y values using sums.

–

Deselecting Size as Sum computes Size values using means.

–

Selecting Color as Sum computes the sum of the data values and maps to a color. This option appears only for continuous variables.

Save for Adobe Flash platform (.SWF)

Saves the bubble plot as .SWF files that are Adobe Flash player compatible. You can use these files in presentations and in Web pages. An HTML page is also saved that shows you the correct code for using the resulting .SWF file.

For more information about this option, go to http://www.jmp.com/support/swfhelp/en.

See Local Data Filter, Redo Menus, and Save Script Menus in the Using JMP book for more information about the following options:

Local Data Filter

Shows or hides the local data filter that enables you to filter the data used in a specific report.

Contains options that enable you to repeat or relaunch the analysis. In platforms that support the feature, the Automatic Recalc option immediately reflects the changes that you make to the data table in the corresponding report window.

Contains options that enable you to save a script that reproduces the report to several destinations.

Save By-Group Script

Contains options that enable you to save a script that reproduces the platform report for all levels of a By variable to several destinations. Available only when a By variable is specified in the launch window.
