GPLOT Procedure
PROC GPLOT Statement
Identifies the data set that contains the plot variables.
Can specify uniform axis scaling for all graphs as well as an annotate
data set and an output catalog.
Requirement: |
An input data set is required. |
Syntax
PROC GPLOT <DATA=input-data-set>
<ANNOTATE=Annotate-data-set>
<GOUT=<libref.>output-catalog>
<IMAGEMAP=output-data-set>
<UNIFORM>;
Optional Arguments
- ANNOTATE=Annotate-data-set
- specifies a data set to annotate all graphs that
are produced by the GPLOT procedure. To annotate individual
graphs created using a By statement or multiple action statements,
use ANNOTATE= in the action statement.
- DATA=input-data-set
-
specifies the SAS data
set that contains the variables to plot. By default, the procedure
uses the most recently created SAS data set.
- GOUT=< libref.
>output-catalog
-
specifies the SAS catalog
in which to save the graphics output that is produced by the GPLOT
procedure. If you omit the libref, SAS/GRAPH looks for the catalog in the temporary library called
WORK and creates the catalog if it does not exist.
- IMAGEMAP= output-data-set
- creates a temporary SAS data set that is used to generate
an image map in an SVG file when you are sending output to the LISTING
destination. (This option is not necessary when you are sending output
to the HTML destination.) The drill-down URLs in the image map must
be provided by variables in the input data set. These variables are
identified to the procedure with the HTML= and HTML_LEGEND= options.
- UNIFORM
-
specifies that the
same axis scaling is used for all graphs that are produced by the
procedure. The same axis scaling would apply across Run-groups as
well. By default, the range of axis values for each axis is based
on the minimum and maximum values in the data and therefore can vary
from graph to graph and among BY groups. Using the UNIFORM option
forces the value range for each axis to be the same for all graphs.
Thus, if the procedure produces multiple graphs with both left and
right vertical axes, the UNIFORM option scales all of the left axes
the same and all of the right axes the same, based on the minimum
and maximum data values.
In addition, UNIFORM
forces the assignment of SYMBOL statements for the category variable
without regard to the BY-group variable. If a legend is generated,
UNIFORM makes the legend the same across graphs.
