sas >> gplot: Symbols disappear if special order in legend

by joakim.englund » Thu, 04 Sep 2008 01:56:03 GMT

Hi,

In a graph there was trouble getting the symbols in the legend when I had a
special order of the names in the legend:

legend1 position=(top center) label=none order=('Placebo' '130 ug'
'225 ug' '350
ug' '550 ug') shape=symbol(*0.00001*,*2.5*) frame;

When I didn't have the order statement, it was fine. Is there a way to get
both the order and the symbols?

KR,
Joakim

hi ... this works fine with a legend similar to yours (what are those asterisks in the SHAPE
option ?)

proc sort data=sashelp.class out=class;
by age height;
run;

goptions reset=all;

legend1
position=(top center inside)
label=none
order=(15 14 13)
shape=symbol(0.00001,2.5)pct
frame
;

symbol1 v=dot i=join c=red;
symbol2 v=dot i=join c=blue;
symbol3 v=dot i=join c=green;

proc gplot data=class;
plot weight*height = age / legend=legend1;
where age between 13 and 15;
run;
quit;

1. GPLOT: suppress triplet symbols in LEGEND 

By default, the GPLOT procedure displays each symbol three times in
its legend -- e.g.

 Men -o-o-o-
 Women -x-x-x

Wouldn't it look simpler to display each symbol once?

 Men o
 Women x

Any suggestions on how to get SAS to do this would be most
appreciated.

Thanks!

3. PROC GPLOT disable automated ordering of x-axis 

Hello Folks,

I'm trying to create a graph which alphabetical x-values are ordered
depending on their corresponding y-values.
The data source is a proc sql in which I already order the rows on basis of
the x-asis-column.
My problem is, that PROC GPLOT autmatically re-sorts on basis of the x-axis.
The values of the x-axis are too numerous and change too often to use the
ORDER-Statement.
Is there any possibility to stop the automated ordering on basis of the x-
axis?

Thanks in advance for the help!

hi, I want to show some special symbols using following code, but it did
not work in this way. SAS doesn't see x as a hex code which I intended to
make. Could you show me the right way?

Many thanks,

data x;
do i=34 to 255;
hexi=put(i,$hex4.);

ods rtf file='symbol.rtf;
proc print data=x;
run;
ods rtf close;
