|
Save Scripts in English
|
Non-English versions of JMP can save scripts in either English or your local language. User-specified values (such as column names and text strings) in these scripts appear as they do in the data table. However, command words (such as Distribution and Set Value) appear in English rather than the local language in order for the script to run on JMP in English. JMP properly displays non-Roman characters (such as Japanese variable names) in JMP in English when the fonts support the necessary characters.
Select this option to save scripts in English no matter what language JMP is using.
Clear this option to save scripts in your local language. Note that these scripts run correctly only if JMP is running in the same language. This option is selected by default.

JMP has the ability to store numeric data in as few as 8 bits (one byte). This option makes short-integer formats available to you when you select Cols > Column Info and assign a column a data type. When you use the correct short-integer format for your data, the numbers are not displayed differently, but the data table uses less disk space. See “The Short-Integer Format” in the “Set Column Properties” chapter.
|
Save table in extended file format
|
Starting with JMP 8, data tables can contain a very large number of columns. To accomplish this feature, much of the internal data table coding was changed to support the large (that is, extended) file format. By default, this option is on.

Import Settings
|
Select the strategy JMP uses to open text files. The default selection is Use these settings. In that case, you need to ensure that the settings reflect your text files.
If you select Use Best Guess, JMP collects statistics in the text file on tabs, commas, blanks, and a few other characters and uses a rule-based system to decide what the file format might be. The rules try to make reasonable field widths and a reasonable number of fields per line. If your data format is too different from what the rules are designed to guess, JMP guesses incorrectly. In that case, either use the wizard or explicitly describe your data in these preference settings.
|
End Of Field
|
Select one or more characters to use as the delimiter that signifies the end of a field when importing text data.
Select the Other option and enter a character to specify a delimiter that is not listed.
|
End Of Line
|
Select one or more characters to use as the delimiter that signifies the end of a line (row).
Select the Other option and enter a character to specify a delimiter that is not listed.
Note that if double-quotes are encountered when importing text data, the delimiter rules change to look for an end double-quote. Other text delimiters, including spaces, that are embedded within the quotes are ignored and treated as part of the text string.
|
Table contains column headers
|
Select this option if your text file contains columns names. If you select this option, enter the line number where the column names are located in the field next to Column Names are on line.
|
Column Names are on line
|
If you select the Table contains column headers option, enter the line number where the column names are located in this field.
|
Data starts on line
|
Enter the line number where the data starts in your text file.
|
When determining column types
|
Set how long JMP scans a text file to determine data types for the columns. The default value is Scan whole file. Note that the Scan whole file option can cause importing a text file to be slow for large files.
When your text file contains columns of missing data, select Treat empty columns as numeric to import the columns as numeric rather than character. A period, Unicode dot, NaN, or a blank string are possible missing value indicators. This option is deselected by default.
|
Two-digit year rule

Copy/Drag Graphic Formats
|
Select one or more graphic formats to use when copying and pasting (or dragging and dropping) graphics from JMP into other applications.
|
Resolution (DPI) for PNG and JPEG Images
|
Specify the DPI to be used when you copy a graphic format. Choose from the Default (96) or 300 DPI. 300 DPI is good for images that must be stretched, embedded in trade publications, or printed. However, this setting uses more memory and is slower to generate for large images.
|
Graphics Formats
|
Select the format to use for graphics when you save a JMP report as an RTF file or an HTML file.
