This example illustrates how to create a triangulation data table, to transform the triangulation to use Delaunay triangles, and to filter Alpha shapes of the triangles.
1. Select Help > Sample Data Library and open Cities.jmp.
2. Select Graph > Contour Plot.
3. Select OZONE and click Y.
4. Select X and Y and click X.
5. Select to Fill Areas.
6. Click OK.
7. Click the red triangle next to Contour Plot for OZONE and select the following options:
a. Transform > Range Normalized
Instead of Delaunay triangulation, this changes the method for calculating the triangulations to a normalized scale ([0,1]) in both X and Y.
b. Show Control Panel
The Alpha slider appears.
