Overlays groups and produces a legend. This option is off by default and unavailable if no grouping variables are assigned. See Overlay Groups.
Turns off overlaying for both Ys and groups. Creates a separate plot for each Y and each group. This option is off by default unless only one Y variable is assigned and no grouping variables are assigned. In this case, no overlaying options are available.
Assigns each plot its own set of xy-axes. If Separate Axes is off, the vertical axis is shared across the same row of plots and the horizontal axis is shared on the same column of plots. The default setting is on (except when multiple plots exist). See Separate Axes.
Connects the lowest and highest points at each x value with a line with bars at each end. The Needle and Range Plot options are mutually exclusive.
See Local Data Filter, Redo Menus, and Save Script Menus in the Using JMP book for more information about the following options:
Figure 4.6 shows the effect that the Overlay Groups option has on an overlay plot with one Y variable, one X variable, and a grouping variable. The grouping variable has two levels. The plot on the left has Overlay Groups turned off, so a separate graph is produced for the two levels of the grouping variable. The plot on the right has Overlay Groups turned on, so there is a single graph that uses colors and markers to show the two levels of the grouping variable. A legend describing the levels is added under the graph.

Figure 4.7 shows the effect that the Separate Axes option has on an overlay plot with two Y variables and one X variable. The Overlay Y’s option is turned off, so a separate plot is produced for each Y variable. The plot on the left has Separate Axes turned off, so the two graphs share a single x-axis. The plot on the right has Separate Axes turned on, so both graphs have their own x-axis.
