The SGPANEL Procedure

PROC SGPANEL Statement

Identifies the data set that contains the plot variables. The statement also gives you the option to specify a description, and control automatic legends and automatic attributes.

Requirements:

An input data set is required.

Syntax

PROC SGPANEL <DATA= input-data-set>

< DESCRIPTION="text-string">

;

Options

CYCLEATTRS | NOCYCLEATTRS

specifies whether plots are drawn with unique attributes in the graph. By default, the SGPANEL procedure automatically assigns unique attributes in many situations, depending on the types of plots that you specify. If the plots do not have unique attributes by default, then the CYCLEATTRS option assigns unique attributes to each plot in the graph. The NOCYCLEATTRS option prevents the procedure from assigning unique attributes.

For example, if you specify the CYCLEATTRS option and you create a graph with a SERIES statement and a SCATTER statement, then the two plots have different colors.

If you specify the NOCYCLEATTRS option, then plots have the same attributes unless you specify appearance options such as the LINEATTRS= option.

DATA=input-data-set

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

DESCRIPTION= "text-string"

specifies a description for the output image. The description identifies the image in the following locations:

the Results window
the alternate text for the image in HTML output
the table of contents that is created by the CONTENTS option in an ODS statement

The default description is "The SGPANEL Procedure".

Tip:	You can disable the alternate text in HTML output by specifying an empty string. That is, DESCRIPTION="" .
Note:	The name of the output image is specified by the IMAGENAME= option in the ODS GRAPHICS statement.
Alias:	DES

NOAUTOLEGEND

disables automatic legends from being generated. By default, legends are created automatically for some plots, depending on their content. This option has no effect if you specify a KEYLEGEND statement.
