The GCHART Procedure

PROC GCHART Statement

Identifies the data set containing the chart variables. Can specify annotation and an output catalog.

Requirements:

An input data set is required.

Syntax

PROC GCHART<DATA=input-data-set>
<ANNOTATE=Annotate-data-set>
<GOUT=<libref.>output-catalog>
<IMAGEMAP=output-data-set>;

Options

PROC GCHART statement options affect all graphs produced by the procedure.

ANNOTATE=Annotate-data-set

specifies a data set to annotate all graphs that are produced by the GCHART procedure. To annotate individual graphs, use ANNOTATE= in the action statement.

Alias:	ANNO=
See also:	Using Annotate Data Sets

DATA=input-data-set

specifies the SAS data set that contains the variable or variables to chart. By default, the procedure uses the most recently created SAS data set.

IMAGEMAP=output-data-set

creates a temporary SAS data set that is used to generate an image map in an HTML output file. The information in the image map data set includes the shape and coordinates of the elements in the graph and drill-down URLs that have been associated with those elements. The drill-down URLs are provided by one or two variables in the input data set. These variables are identified to the GCHART procedure with the HTML= or HTML_LEGEND= or both options.

The %IMAGEMAP macro generates the image map in the HTML output file. The macro takes two arguments, the name of the image map data set and the name or fileref of the HTML file, as shown in the following example:

%imagemap(imgmapds, myimgmap.html);

Restriction:

Not supported by Java or ActiveX
