The JMP Graph Builder platform offers robust visualization tools, including the capability to display data against a secondary, independently scaled vertical axis. This functionality allows for the simultaneous presentation of two different measures on a single plot, where each measure benefits from its own optimal scale.
Utilizing a secondary vertical axis can significantly enhance data interpretation by allowing for direct visual comparison of variables with disparate units or ranges. Historically, analysts relied on separate plots or data transformations to achieve similar comparisons. The integrated dual-axis approach simplifies this process, offering a more intuitive and efficient means of exploring relationships within data. The independent scaling also mitigates visual compression of one variable when plotted alongside another with a much larger range, thereby preventing misinterpretations.
