GTILE Procedure
Overview: GTILE Procedure
The GTILE procedure
creates charts that consist of rectangles or squares that are divided
into tile-shaped segments. These charts are sometimes referred to
as rectangular tree maps. The GTILE charts represent the relative
sizes of tiles to one another and to the whole. The GTILE procedure
provides three statements that you can use to define the layout in
order to visualize your data. The statements require one numeric variable.
This variable defines the size of the chart tiles.
The TILEBY= statement
is followed by any number of numeric or character variables that are
delineated by a comma or a blank space (see Chart Variables). By providing
multiple TILEBY variables, and specifying either a JAVA or ACTIVEX
device with the DEVICE= option, you can use the GTILE procedure to
create interactive charts. These charts enable you to display subsets
(or levels) of your data. You can assign an additional numeric variable
as a color variable using the COLORVAR= option.
