You can interact with Graph Builder to create compelling visualizations of your data. JMP includes graphical support to display analyses using background maps and shape files. You can add color and geographical boundaries to maps through the following zones:
• The Map Shape zone assigns geographical boundaries to a map based on variables in the data table. The map shape value determines the x and y axes.
Boundaries such as U.S. state names, Canadian provinces, and Japanese prefectures are installed with JMP. You can also create your own boundaries (geographical or otherwise) and specify them as a Map Role column property in the data table.
• The Color zone applies color based on a variable to geographical shapes.
• The Size element scales map shapes according to the size variable, minimizing distortion.
