GCONTOUR Procedure

PROC GCONTOUR Statement

Identifies the data set that contains the plot variables. Can also specify an annotate data set, an output catalog, and the incomplete option.

Requirement:

An input data set is required.

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

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

ANNOTATE=Annotate-data-set: specifies a data set to annotate all graphs produced by the GCONTOUR procedure. To annotate individual graphs, use the ANNOTATE= option in the action statement.

Alias:ANNO=

Restriction:Partially supported by Java and ActiveX

See:Using Annotate Data Sets

DATA=input-data-set: specifies the SAS data set that contains the variables to plot. The procedure uses the most recently created SAS data set if none is specified.

See:SAS Data Sets

Input Data

GOUT=<libref.>output-catalog: specifies the SAS catalog in which to save the graphics output that is produced by the GCONTOUR procedure. If you omit the libref, SAS/GRAPH looks for the catalog in the temporary library called WORK and creates the output catalog if it does not exist.

INCOMPLETE: allows the plotting of data when values are missing for more than half of the z variable in the input data set.
