Dear all,

I am trying to display the number of subjects in each treatment at the
top right side corner of my plot using the following code. The macro
variable &aa and &bb has the count of patients in it.

legend1 label = none
position = (top right inside)
offset = (0.5)
across = 1
shape = symbol(1,1)
mode = share
value = (h =1 t= 1 "&a.(N=&aa)" j = left t = 2 "&b.(N=&bb)" j = left);

However the legend when the plot gets produced, displays something
like this:

nameoftreatment (N= 100 ). It leaves a space after 100 and i want to
suppress that. Can someone tell me how can i do that?

Also how can we reduce the height of the values displayed on the x and
y axis.

Thanks in advance

Regards,

I'm sure there's a better way to do this, but I handle such situations
by creating a macro variable that includes the n= and the ( ). For
example:

ods output onewayfreqs=n;
proc freq data=one;
table study;
run;

data _null_;
set n;
npre="(n="||compress(put(frequency,2.))||")";
call symput ("npre",npre);
run;

Use macro function %cmpres():

value = (h =1 t= 1 "&a.(N=%cmpres(&aa))" j = left t = 2 "&b.(N=%cmpres
(&bb))" j = left);

Dear all,

Thanks a lot for your suggestion and spending time after this.
Appreciate it. That work's fine. however there is a warning that it
keeps giving me "Specified placement options have caused legend to
extend beyond normal boundaries. This are my legend specifications:

legend1 label = none
position = (top right inside)
offset = (0.1)
across = 1
shape = symbol(1,1)
mode = share
value = (h =1 t= 1 "&a.(N=%cmpres(&aa))" j = left t = 2 "&b.(N=
%cmpres(&bb))" j = left);

This is the warning from the log:

WARNING: Specified placement options have caused legend to extend
beyond normal boundaries.
NOTE: At least one pointlabel has overwritten a boundary. This
resulted in the affected
pointlabel(s) being repositioned.

Can you please help me this and how to remove this warning from the
log?

Regards,

k, I've followed tech support note and changed both hpos and shape
parameters,
but none of them seems to work. The only way I found to get rid of the
message
is to change the position to "(top left outside)" or "(top center
outside)", instead of
"(top right outside)":

%let a=xxxxxx xxxxxx;
%let aa= 56 ;
%let b=yyyyyy yyyyyyy;
%let bb= 66 ;

goptions reset=all /* hpos=200 */;
legend1 label = none
position = (top right inside) /* this works (top left inside) */
offset = (0.5)
across = 1
shape = symbol(1,1) /*(5,1)*/
mode= share
value = (h =1 t= 1 "&a.(N=%cmpres(&aa))" j = right t = 2
"&b.(N=%cmpres(&bb))" j = right);

proc gplot data=sashelp.class;
plot weight*age=sex / legend=legend1;
run;

1. Proc gplot / legend question 

Hi SASor,
  Suppose I run the following code:
  symbol1 .....;
  symbol2 .....;
  symbol3 .....;
  symbol4 .....;
  symbol5 .....;
  proc gplot data=a;
   plot var1*var2/ id;
  run;
quit;
  If the id contents 1,2,3,4 and 5; after I ran the code I will get the graph with legend for the 5 ids with difference symbols by order 1,2,3,4 and 5 sequentially.
  What I want is to re-order the legend sequence by 4,2,3,1 and 5.
  Is there a way to customize the legend sequence?
   Thanks,
  ss df

At this point, providing an example of the intended legend and details
about the numbers (are they constants, where are they held) will help.

Have you considered a FOOTNOTE statement?  You could do away with the
FRAME around the legend or even the legend itself and use an ANNOTATE
dataset.

4. SUSPECT: SUSPECT: Proc GPLOT - Legend Question

5. GPLOT legend and device questions (repost) 

Original post 9/6/2005 did not propagate.
Using the Graph-N-Go, on 9.1.3 for WIN2000, generated code below I have
the following questions.
1 - The code did not build the legend statement.  How do I build the
legend
so that all 3 vars (trn_nbr, cbk_nbr, vdn_nbr) are in a boxed legend
centered outside the right of the graph and each tick is on a seperate
line?
2 - The scale for the axis1 is defaulting to 10, how do I display all
values?
3 - How do I scale axis2 and axis3 to 5?
4 - Likely a new topic.  When I specify the java or gif device, I
frequently get a *dll windows error message.  Is this a symptom which
may require me to reload Sas 9.1.2.3 or updated device drivers?

Hi all,
i am trying to put the special characters alpha and beta in the legend of
