The BOXPLOT Procedure

PLOT Statement

The PLOT statement supports the following new options.

CCOVERLAY=(color-list)
specifies colors for the line segments connecting points on overlays. Colors in the CCOVERLAY= list are matched with variables in the corresponding positions in the OVERLAY= list. By default, points are connected by line segments of the same color as the plotted points. You can specify the value NONE to suppress the line segments connecting points on an overlay.

COVERLAY=(color-list)
specifies the colors used to plot overlay variables. Colors in the COVERLAY= list are matched with variables in the corresponding positions in the OVERLAY= list.

HTML=(variable)
specifies uniform resource locators (URLs) as values of the specified character variable, for formatted values of a numeric variable. These URLs are associated with box-and-whisker plots when graphics output is directed into HTML. The value of the HTML= variable should be the same for each observation with a given value of the group variable.

LOVERLAY=(linetypes)
specifies line types for the line segments connecting points on overlays. Line types in the LOVERLAY= list are matched with variables in the corresponding positions in the OVERLAY= list.

NOOVERLAYLEGEND
suppresses the legend for overlay variables that is displayed by default when the OVERLAY= option is specified.

OVERLAY=(variable-list)
specifies variables to be plotted as overlays on a box plot. A point is plotted for each overlay variable at each group for which it has a non-missing value. The value of a particular overlay variable should be the same for each observation in the input data set with a given value of the group variable.

OVERLAYHTML=(variable-list)
specifies variables whose values are URLs to be associated with points on overlays. These URLs are associated with points on an overlay plot when graphics output is directed into HTML. Variables in the OVERLAYHTML= list are matched with variables in the corresponding positions in the OVERLAY= list. The value of the OVERLAYHTML= variable should be the same for each observation with a given value of the group variable.

OVERLAYLEGLAB='label'
specifies the label displayed to the left of the overlay legend. The label can be up to 16 characters long and must be enclosed in quotes.

OVERLAYSYM=(symbol-list)
specifies symbols used to plot points on overlays. Symbols in the OVERLAYSYM= list are matched with variables in the corresponding positions in the OVERLAY= list.

OVERLAYSYMHT=(value-list)
specifies the heights of symbols used to plot points on overlays. Heights in the OVERLAYSYMHT= list are matched with variables in the corresponding positions in the OVERLAY= list.

WOVERLAY=(value-list)
specifies the widths in pixels of the line segments connecting points on overlays. Widths in the WOVERLAY= list are matched with variables in the corresponding positions in the OVERLAY= list.
