The GRADAR Procedure

CHART Statement

Creates the radar charts in which the length of the vertices along the spines represent the values of the chart statistic for the data categories.
Requirements: At least one chart variable is required.
Global statements: AXIS, FOOTNOTE, and TITLE as well as the SAS/GRAPH NOTE statement

Syntax

CHART chart-variable </ option(s)>;

option(s) can be one or more options from any or all of the following categories:

Required Arguments

chart-variable(s)

specifies one or more variables that define the categories of data to be charted. The values of the chart variable determine the spokes in the corresponding radar chart. These values are the observations in the input data set for the chart variable. You must have at least three observations in the data set as it takes three points to define a plane. Technically, you can create a GRADAR chart with only one or two observations, but a true radar chart is not displayed.

Options

Options in a CHART statement affect all graphs produced by that statement. You can specify as many options as needed and list them in any order.

ACROSSVAR=variable

generates a radar chart for each value of the specified variable and displays the charts from left-to-right across the output area. If used with the DOWN= option, the charts are drawn in left-to-right and top-to-bottom order. To limit the number of columns or rows that are displayed, specify the NCOLS= and NROWS= options.

Alias: ACROSS=
Restriction: This option is not valid with CALENDAR charts--use the OVERLAY option instead.

ANNOTATE=Annotate-data-set

specifies a data set to add annotate elements to charts produced by the CHART statement.

Alias: ANNO=
Restriction: The GRADAR procedure does not support coordinate systems 2 or 8. See Coordinate Systems.
See also: Using Annotate Data Sets
CALENDAR

produces a radar chart displaying 12 equal-sized segments, one for each month of the year January through December. The color shading of each segment represents the magnitude of the frequency variable. Use the OVERLAY variable to subdivide each segment, for example, by year.

Restriction: When you specify the CALENDAR option, you must also specify the OVERLAYVAR= option.

Featured in: Creating a Calendar Chart
CAXIS=grid-color

specifies a color for the chart frame outline and the spokes or grid lines of the chart. The specified color must be a valid SAS/GRAPH color name. If you omit the CAXIS= option, the default color is retrieved from the current style or from the first color in the color list if the NOGSTYLE system option is specified.

Alias: CAXES=, CA=
Style reference: Color attribute of the GraphAxisLines element
See also: CFRAME=
Restriction: Not supported by ActiveX
CFRAME=background-color | (variable)

fills the frame area with the specified color. You can specify a valid SAS/GRAPH color name, or a character variable of length eight whose value is the background color.

Alias: CFR=
See also: CAXIS=
CFRAMESIDE=color | (variable)

specifies the color for filling the frame area for the row labels displayed along the left side of a chart. The specified color must be a valid SAS/GRAPH color name or a character variable of length eight whose value is a valid SAS/GRAPH color name. If a label is associated with the classification variable, the specified color is also used to fill the frame area for this label. By default, these areas are not filled.

Restriction: The CFRAMESIDE= option is ignored unless you also specify the DOWNVAR= option.
CFRAMETOP=color | (variable)

specifies the color for filling the frame area for the column labels that are displayed across the top of a chart. The specified color must be a valid SAS/GRAPH color name, or a character variable of length eight whose value is a valid SAS/GRAPH color name. If a label is associated with the classification variable, the specified color is also used to fill the frame area for this label. By default, these areas are not filled.

Restriction: The CFRAMESIDE= option is ignored unless you also specify the ACROSSVAR= option.
CSPOKES=spoke-color | (variable)

specifies a color to use for the spokes in a chart. The specified color must be a valid SAS/GRAPH color name, or a character variable of length eight whose value is the color. The default color is specified by the current style or is the first color in the color list if the NOGSTYLE option is specified.

Alias: CSPOKE=
CSTARCIRCLES=color | (colors-list)

specifies a color or list of colors for the circles that are requested with the STARCIRCLES= option. All specified colors must be valid SAS/GRAPH color names, or a character variable of length eight whose value is the color. By default, the color specified with the CSTARS= option is used. If the CSTARS= option is omitted, the default color is specified by the current style or is the first color in the color list if the NOGSTYLE option is specified.

Alias: CSTARCIRCLE=
Featured in: Overlaying Radar Charts
CSTARFILL=color | (color-list)

specifies a color or colors for filling the interior of stars when STARFILL= is set to SOLID. All specified colors must be valid SAS/GRAPH color names.

If STARFILL is set to SOLID, the GRADAR procedure fills the stars with the first set of colors it finds from the following list:

  1. the color(s) specified on the CSTARFILL= option

  2. the color(s) specified on the CSTARS= option

  3. the color(s) specified by the current style or, if the NOGSTYLE option is specified, the colors in the device color list.

The number of colors that you specify depends on the number of stars in the chart.

  • If the OVERLAY= option is not used, all stars are filled with the same color. Specify a single fill color. If the ACROSSVAR= option or the DOWNVAR= option are used, the specified color is applied to each star in the tiled display.

  • If the OVERLAY= option is used, the chart contains multiple overlaid stars. In that case, specify a list of colors in parentheses. Make sure that there are at least as many colors in the list as there are stars in the chart. If you do not specify enough colors for each star to have a different color, the GRADAR procedure assigns colors from the current style (or the device color list) to the remaining stars. (If the NOGSTYLE option is specified, the color for the star positioned at subgroup n on the chart is the value of the color corresponding to the color at position n in the device color list.)

If the CSTARFILL= option is specified and the CSTARS= option is not specified for the outline, then the outline is the same as the CSTARFILL option.

If the STARFILL= option is not set or is set to EMPTY, then the CSTARFILL= option sets only the outline color. You can also use the CSTARS= option to set the outline color.

See also: CSTARS=
CSTARS=color | (color-list)

specifies a color or list of colors for the outlines of stars. All specified colors must be valid SAS/GRAPH color names. The GRADAR procedure uses the first set of colors it finds from the following list:

  1. the color(s) specified on the CSTARS= option

  2. the color(s) specified on the CSTARFILL= option

  3. the color(s) specified by the current style or, if the NOGSTYLE option is specified, the colors in the device color list, starting with the second color.

The number of colors that you specify depends on the number of stars in the chart.

  • If the OVERLAY= option is not used, all stars are filled with the same color. Specify a single fill color. If the ACROSSVAR= option or the DOWNVAR= option are used, the specified color is applied to each star in the tiled display.

  • If the OVERLAY= option is used, the chart contains multiple overlaid stars. In that case, specify a list of colors in parentheses. Make sure that there are at least as many colors in the list as there are stars in the chart. If you do not specify enough colors for each star to have a different color, the GRADAR procedure assigns colors from the current style (or the device color list) to the remaining stars. (If the NOGSTYLE option is specified, the color for the star positioned at subgroup n on the chart is the value of the color corresponding to the color at position n in the device color list.)

Featured in: Modifying the Appearance of Radar Charts
CTEXT=color

specifies a color for all text on the chart. The specified color must be a valid SAS/GRAPH color name. If you omit the CTEXT= option, the GRADAR procedure uses the first color it finds in the following list.

  1. the CTEXT= option in a GOPTIONS statement

  2. the color specified by the current style or, if the NOGSTYLE option is specified, then the default color is black for the ActiveX devices and the second color in the color list for all other devices

Style reference: Color attribute of the GraphValueText element
CTILES=(variable) | color

specifies either a character variable of length eight whose values are the fill colors for the tiles or a single color that is the fill color for all tiles. By default, the tiles are not filled.

If you specify a variable, the values of the specified variable must be identical for all observations with the same level of the classification variables. The same color can be used to fill more than one tile. Use the special value, EMPTY, to indicate that a tile is not to be filled.

The CTILES= option cannot be used in conjunction with the NOFRAME option or the CFRAME= option. You can use the TILELEGEND= option in conjunction with the CTILES= option to add an explanatory legend for the CTILES= option colors at the bottom of the chart.

Alias: CTILE=
Restriction: Not supported by ActiveX
DESCRIPTION="description"

specifies a description of the output. The maximum length for description is 256 characters. The description does not appear in the output. The descriptive text is shown in each of the following:

  • the chart description for Web output (depending on the device driver). See Chart Descriptions for Web Presentations for more information.

  • the Table of Contents that is generated when you use the CONTENTS= option on an ODS HTML statement, assuming the output is generated while the contents page is open.

  • the description and the properties for the output in the Results window.

  • the description and properties for the catalog entry in the Explorer.

  • the Description field of the PROC GREPLAY window.

The description can include the #BYLINE, #BYVAL, and #BYVAR substitution options, which work as they do when used on TITLE, FOOTNOTE, and NOTE statements. The 256-character limit applies before the substitution takes place for these options; thus, if in the SAS program the entry-description text exceeds 256 characters, it is truncated to 256 characters, and then the substitution is performed.

Alias: DES=
Default: RADAR CHART OF chart-variable
DOWNVAR=variable

generates a radar chart for each value of the specified variable, and displays the charts from top-to-bottom. If used with the ACROSS= option, the charts are drawn in left-to-right and top-to-bottom order. To limit the number of columns or rows that are displayed, use the NCOLS= option or the NROWS= option.

Alias: DOWN=
Restriction: This option is not valid with CALENDAR charts--use OVERLAY instead.
Featured in: Using Multiple Classification Variables in Radar Charts
FONT=font

specifies the font for all text strings in the radar chart. If you omit the FONT= option, the font that is specified by the FTEXT= graphics option is used. If neither option is specified, the default font is specified by the current style or, if the NOGSTYLE option is specified, by the current device.

Style reference: Font attribute of the GraphValueText elements
FRAME | NOFRAME

specifies whether a frame is drawn around the chart. FRAME draws a frame inside the border specified by INBORDER (if INBORDER is specified). NOFRAME suppresses the frame.

By default, the frame color is specified by the current style or, if the NOGSTYLE option is specified, is the first color in the color list. If you want to specify a different color for the frame, use the CFRAME= option for a filled frame and CAXIS= for only the frame outline color.

Default: FRAME
Restriction: The NOFRAME option cannot be specified with the CFRAME= option or the CTILES= option. This option is not supported by ActiveX.
See also: CAXIS=, CFRAME=
Featured in: Creating a Windrose Chart
FREQ=numeric-variable

specifies a variable whose values weight the contribution of each observation in the computation of the chart statistic. Each observation is counted the number of times that are specified by the value of numeric-variable for that observation. If the value of numeric-variable is missing, 0, or negative, the observation is not used in the statistic calculation. Non-integer values of numeric-variable are truncated to integers.

The statistics are not affected by applying a format to numeric-variable.

HEIGHT=height

specifies the height in cells for labels and legends. The HEIGHT= option overrides the HTEXT= option in a GOPTIONS statement. This does not change the size of titles or footnotes

Alias: HLABEL=
HTML=variable

identifies the variable in the input data set whose values create links in the HTML file created by the ODS HTML statement.

See also: Adding Custom Data Tips with the HTML= Option and Adding Links with the HTML= and HTML_LEGEND= Options
HTML_LEGEND=variable

identifies the variable in the input data set whose values create links in the HTML file created by the ODS HTML statement. These links are associated with a legend value and point to the data or graph you want to display when the user drills down on the value. The maximum length for the value of this variable is 1024 characters.

See also: Adding Links with the HTML= and HTML_LEGEND= Options
IFRAME=fileref | "external-image-file"

specifies an image file to use on the chart's frame. Fileref must be a valid SAS fileref up to eight characters long and must have been previously assigned with a FILENAME statement. External-image-file must specify the complete filename of the image file you want to use. The format of external-image-file varies across operating environments. For more information, see Displaying an Image in Graph Frame.

Restriction: Not supported by ActiveX
IMAGESTYLE=TILE | FIT

specifies the way to display the image file that is specified on the IFRAME= option. TILE copies the image as many times as needed to fit the frame. FIT stretches the image so that a single copy fits within the frame.

Note:   When used with the IFRAME option, the IMAGESTYLE option must be within the PROC statement. When used with the IBACK option , the IMAGESTYLE option goes on the GOPTIONS statement.  [cautionend]

INBORDER

generates a inside border around the chart. This border is inside the border created by the BORDER option on the GOPTIONS statement, if it is specified.

Restriction: Not supported by ActiveX
INHEIGHT=value

specifies the height for spoke labels. The default unit is PCT, which is percentage of graphics output area. The INHEIGHT= option overrides the HTEXT= option in a GOPTIONS statement. This option does not change the size of titles or footnotes.

Restriction: Not supported by ActiveX
INTERTILE=value

specifies the distance (in cells) between tiles in a chart, and is used only with the ACROSSVAR= option and the DOWNVAR= option. By default, the tiles are contiguous (value=0).

Alias: INTERCHART=
Default: 0
Featured in: Using Multiple Classification Variables in Radar Charts
LSPOKES=linetype

specifies a line type for the spokes in a radar chart.

Default: 1 (solid line)
LSTARCIRCLES=linetypes | (linetypes)

specifies one or more line types for the circles requested with the STARCIRCLES= option. If the number of line types specified with LSTARCIRCLES= matches the number of circles requested with STARCIRCLES=, then the line types are paired with the circles in the order specified. If you request more circles than you specify lines types for, SAS/GRAPH uses the line types that you specify and defaults to 1 (solid) for the remaining circles.

Alias: LSTARCIRCLE=
Default: 1 (solid line)
LSTARS=(linetypes)

specifies the line types for the outlines of stars that are produced for a radar chart. By default, the outlines rotate through the list of line types. The default line type for the star positioned at subgroup n is the value of the line type corresponding to the position n in the list of line types.

The number of line types that you specify depends on the number of stars in the chart.

  • If the OVERLAY= option is not used, all stars use the same line type. Specify a single fill line type. If the ACROSSVAR= option or the DOWNVAR= option are used, the specified line type is applied to each star in the tiled display.

  • If the OVERLAY= option is used, the chart contains multiple overlaid stars. In that case, specify a list of line types in parentheses. Be sure that there are at least as many line types in the list as there are stars in the chart.

To specify line colors, use the CSTARS= option.

Alias: LSTAR=
Featured in: Modifying the Appearance of Radar Charts
MAXNVERT=n

specifies the maximum number of vertices, from 1 to 360, in the radar chart.

Alias: MAXVERT=
MISSING

accepts a missing value as a valid midpoint for the chart variable. By default, observations with missing values are ignored. Missing values are always valid for the overlay variables.

MODE=SHARE | PROTECT | RESERVE

specifies the display mode for a radar chart.

SHARE

shares the drawing space between the text and the graph.

PROTECT

shares the drawing space but maintains a solid rectangle (using the background color) behind the text. This is useful when the text is illegible because of the image specified with the IFRAME= option or the color specified with the CFRAME= option.

RESERVE

reduces the size of the text and graph in order to accommodate both.

Default: RESERVE
NAME="name"

specifies the name of the GRSEG catalog entry and the name of the graphics output file, if one is created. The name can be up to 256 characters long, but the GRSEG name is truncated to eight characters. Uppercase characters are converted to lowercase, and periods are converted to underscores. The default name is RADAR. If the name duplicates an existing name, then SAS/GRAPH adds a number to the name to create a unique name--for example, RADAR1.

See also: About Filename Indexing
NCOLS=n

specifies the number of columns in a chart. You can use the NCOLS= option in conjunction with the NROWS= option. NCOLS=2 and NROWS=2 if two classification variables are specified. If used with the ACROSSVAR= or DOWNVAR= options, the default number of columns or rows is calculated from the number of classifications for the variables that are listed on the ACROSSVAR= or DOWNVAR= options. In that case, you can use the NCOLS= option and NROWS= option to limit the number of columns and rows that are specified.

Alias: NCOL=
Default: 1 if one classification variable is specified
Restriction: Not supported by ActiveX
See also: NROWS=
Featured in: Using Multiple Classification Variables in Radar Charts
NLEVELS=n

specifies the number of colors used in the calendar chart to represent the magnitude of the frequency variable. The colors are shown in the legend as a color ramp ranging from white to the full intensity of one color.

Default: 6
NOLEGEND

suppresses the legend that is otherwise automatically displayed.

NOZEROREF

turns off the zero reference circle when negative values are plotted. When a negative value is plotted, a dashed circle indicates the zero position. You cannot change the appearance of this zero reference circle, but you can turn it off with the NOZEROREF option. The zero reference circle does not appear if there are no negative values plotted.

NROWS=n

specifies the number of rows in a chart. You can use the NROWS= option in conjunction with the NCOLS= option. See NCOLS= for details.

Alias: NROW=
Default: 1
Restriction: Not supported by ActiveX
See also: NCOLS=
Featured in: Using Multiple Classification Variables in Radar Charts
ORDERACROSS=FREQ | DATA | INTERNAL | FORMATTED | EXTERNAL

specifies the display order for the values of the ACROSS= option variable.

Restriction: Not supported by ActiveX
OTHER="category"

specifies a new category that merges all categories not selected because of the MAXNVERT= option. The category should be specified as a formatted value of the chart variable.

Restriction: The OTHER= option is ignored unless you also specify the MAXNVERT= option.
OVERLAYVAR=overlay-variable

creates a comparative radar chart using the levels of the overlay variable. All charts are displayed in the same set of spokes. A maximum of 24 overlays can be displayed in a single radar chart.

Alias: OVERLAY=
Restriction: This option cannot be used with the ACROSSVAR= option or the DOWNVAR= options.
Featured in: Overlaying Radar Charts, Creating a Windrose Chart, and Creating a Calendar Chart
SPEED=speed-variable

specifies the wind speed in windrose charts.

SPIDERWEB

displays lines connecting the points where tick marks would be instead of displaying the tick marks, using the same number of points for all axes as for the first axis. The default number of web lines is three.

If there is an AXIS statement in effect, then the web gets its values (such as number, thickness, and color) from the MAJOR= values for the axis drawn at the first position. (The default first position is 12 o'clock.)

Alias: SPIDER
SPKLABEL=CATEGORY | NONE

labels the chart spokes with the category of the variable that is being charted. NONE suppresses the labels. The default is CATEGORY; however, if the STARLEGEND= option is specified, the default is NONE.

Default: CATEGORY
SPOKESCALE=CATEGORY | VERTEX

specifies whether every spoke is drawn to the same scale, or whether each spoke is drawn to a different scale. When you specify the SPOKESCALE=CATEGORY option (or you do not specify the SPOKESCALE option), the GRADAR procedure determines the minimum and maximum value of all the spokes. Then, the vertices of all the spokes have that same maximum value and minimum value. When you specify the SPOKESCALE=VERTEX option, each vertex has its own maximum value and minimum value, and each vertex is labeled at the tick marks.

Restriction: If you specify SPOKESCALE=VERTEX, you should also specify the OVERLAYVAR= option.
STARAXIS= (AXIS<1...99><, . . . ,AXIS<1...99>>)

assigns one or more axis definitions to the axis spokes in the radar chart. GRADAR displays axis spokes clockwise, starting at the 12 o'clock position. The axis definitions that are specified using the STARAXIS= option are assigned consecutively to the spokes, starting from the first spoke. AXIS statements are assigned in clockwise order. For example, the STARAXIS=(AXIS3, AXIS1, AXIS2) option assigns the AXIS3 statement's definition to the first axis spoke (at the 12 o'clock position), the AXIS1 statement's definition to the second axis spoke, and the AXIS2 statement's definition to the third axis spoke.

The axis definitions are assigned consecutively, and you cannot skip a spoke. For example, to assign a definition to the seventh spoke, you must also assign definitions to the first six spokes. However, you do not have to assign definitions to all of the spokes. Any remaining axis spokes on the GRADAR chart are displayed with the default settings. For example, if the STARAXIS= option specifies three definitions and the chart has more than three axis spokes, the fourth and remaining spokes are displayed with the default settings. If there are more definitions specified than there are axis spokes in the chart, the excess definitions are ignored.

Alias: STARAXES=
STARCIRCLES=(values)

specifies reference circles that are superimposed on the stars that are produced for a radar chart. All of the circles are displayed and centered at each point plotted on the primary chart. The value determines the diameter of the circle. A value of 0.0 specifies a circle with the inner radius, which displays a circle at the minimum data value. A value of 1.0 specifies a circle with the outer radius, which is the length of the spokes in the chart. In general, a value of h specifies a circle with a radius equal to inradius + h×(outradius - inradius).

For example, the values 0.0 and 1.0 correspond to an inner circle and an outer circle. The value 0.5 specifies a circle with a radius of inradius + 0.5×( outradius - inradius), or a circle halfway between the inner circle and the outer circle. Likewise, the value 0.25 specifies a circle one-fourth of the way from the inner circle to the outer circle.

To specify the line types for the circles, use the LSTARCIRCLES= option. To specify colors for the circles, use the CSTARCIRCLES= option.

Alias: STARCIRCLE=
Featured in: Overlaying Radar Charts
STARFILL= lists of (SOLID | EMPTY) one for each star

determines whether the stars in the radar chart are empty or filled with a solid color. Valid values are EMPTY (the default) and SOLID. If there are multiple stars in the chart, specify, in parentheses, a separate value for each star.

If the STARFILL=(SOLID) option and the CSTARFILL= option are not specified, then each star is filled with the colors specified on the CSTARS= option. If the CSTARS= option is not specified, then the fill colors are determined by the current style or, if the NOGSTYLE option is specified, by the device color list.

If STARFILL= is not set or is set to EMPTY, then CSTARFILL= is ignored.

STARINRADIUS=percent

specifies inner radius of stars as a percent from 0 to 100. The inner radius of a star is the distance from the center of the star to the circle that represents the lower limit of the standardized vertex variables. The lower limit can correspond to the minimum value, a multiple of standard deviations below the mean, or a lower specification limit. The value must be less than the value that is specified with the STAROUTRADIUS= option. The default value is one-third of the outer radius.

Restriction: Not supported by ActiveX
See also: STAROUTRADIUS=
STARLEGEND=CLOCK | CLOCK0 | NUMBER | DEGREES | NONE

specifies the style of the legend used to identify the vertices of stars that are produced for a radar chart.

CLOCK

identifies the vertex variables by their positions on the clock (starting with 12:00).

CLOCK0

identifies the vertex variables by their positions on the clock (starting with 0:00 corresponding to 12:00).

NUMBER

identifies the vertex variables by numbers, with 1 corresponding to 12 o'clock. Legend entries are assigned in clockwise order.

DEGREES

identifies the vertex variables by angles in degrees, with 0 degrees corresponding to 12 o'clock.

NONE

suppresses the legend. This is the default.

Featured in: Tiling Radar Charts
STARLEGENDLAB="legend-label"

specifies the label displayed to the left of the legend for stars requested with the STARLEGEND= option. The label can be up to 16 characters and must be enclosed in quotes. The default label is Vertices:.

Featured in: Tiling Radar Charts
STAROUTRADIUS=value

specifies outer radius of stars as a percent up to 100. The value must be greater than the value of the STARINRADIUS= option. The inner radius of a star is the distance from the center of the star to the circle that represents the lower limit of the standardized vertex variables. The lower limit can correspond to the minimum value, a multiple of standard deviations below the mean, or a lower specification limit.

Restriction: Not supported by ActiveX
See also: STARINRADIUS=
STARSTART=value

specifies the vertex angle for the first variable that is specified on the CHART statement. Vertex angles for the remaining variables are uniformly spaced clockwise and assigned in the order listed. You can specify the value in the following ways:

  • Clock position: If you specify the value as a time literal (between '0:00'T and '12:00'T), the corresponding clock position is used for the first vertex variable. For example, '12:00'T indicates the 12 o'clock position, '03:00'T the 3 o'clock position (90 degrees), and '09:00'T the 9 o'clock position (270 degrees).

  • Degrees: To specify a value in degrees you must specify a negative number. (This is to distinguish degrees from clock values, which are stored internally as positive numbers.) If you specify a negative number, the absolute value is used for the first vertex angle in degrees. Here, 0 degrees corresponds to 12:00, -90 degrees to 3:00, and -270 degrees to 9:00. Always specify the value in degrees as a negative number.

The default value is zero, so the first vertex variable is positioned at 12:00.

STARTYPE=CORONA | POLYGON | RADIAL | SPOKE | WEDGE

specifies the style of the stars that are produced for a radar chart. The following keywords are available:

CORONA

polygon with star-vertices emanating from the inner circle

POLYGON

closed polygon

RADIAL

rays emanating from the center

SPOKE

rays emanating from the inner circle

WEDGE

closed polygon with rays from the center to the full spoke length.

Default: WEDGE
SUMVAR=summary-variable

specifies a numeric variable to be used to construct weighted radar charts. The values of summary-variable can be positive, negative, zero, or missing. If SUMVAR= is not specified, the weights applied to the chart variable are assumed to be one. The chart is not affected by applying a format to numeric-variable.

See also: Calculating Weighted Statistics
TILELEGEND=(variable)

specifies a variable used to add a legend for CTILES= colors. The variable can have a formatted length less than or equal to 32. If a format is associated with the variable, then the formatted value is displayed. The TILELEGEND= option must be used in conjunction with the CTILES= option for filling the tiles in a chart. If CTILES= is specified and TILELEGEND= is not specified, a color legend is not displayed.

The values of the CTILES= and TILELEGEND= variables should be consistent for all observations with the same level of the classification variables. The value of the TILELEGEND= variable is used to identify the corresponding color value of the CTILES= variable in the legend.

Restriction: Not supported by ActiveX
TILELEGLABEL="label"

specifies a label displayed to the left of the legend that is created when you specify a TILELEGEND= variable. The label can be up to 16 characters and must be enclosed in quotes. The default label is Tiles:.

Restriction: Not supported by ActiveX
WFRAME=n

specifies the width in pixels for the frame lines.

Alias: WAXIS=
Default: 1
Restriction: Not supported by ActiveX
WINDROSE

specifies creation of a windrose chart. The windrose chart is named for charts of wind speed and direction. Windrose charts are a type of histogram which are useful when the extreme values of the histogram's midpoint variable are related. Typical applications include histograms involving direction, clock time, or other cyclical values.

Featured in: Creating a Windrose Chart
WINDROSECIRCLES=n

specifies the number of reference circles.

WSPOKES=line-width

specifies the width in pixels of the spokes in a radar chart.

Alias: WSPOKE=
