Features
JMP provides a comprehensive set of statistical tools as well as design of experiments and statistical quality control in a single package. It can work with a variety of data formats, such as text files, Microsoft Excel files, SAS datasets, and ODBC-compliant databases.
JMP allows for custom programming and script development via JSL, "JMP Scripting Language". JSL is an interpreted scripting language that is executed at runtime, and provides for manipulating JMP application platform objects in a coherent and coordinated way. JSL is capable of creating complex object-oriented GUI and data visualization toolsets in the JMP application environment. JSL can also be accessed externally via COM (Windows). The use of JSL in the JMP environment can greatly extend the usefulness of JMP in the applied statistics setting.
Starting with JMP version 7, JSL added the ability to submit SAS code to a local or remote SAS session. With JMP version 8, ODS Graphics support was added as well as several regression add-ins that provide JMP user interfaces to selected SAS/Stat or SAS/ETS procedures. With JMP version 9, JSL can also submit and obtain data and results from the R programming language.

Famous quotes containing the word features:
“All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“These, then, will be some of the features of democracy ... it will be, in all likelihood, an agreeable, lawless, particolored commonwealth, dealing with all alike on a footing of equality, whether they be really equal or not.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
