BARPARM Statement
Displays bars representing frequencies or weights specified by parameters, and typically is used to add a bar chart to a plot.
| BARPARM X= column | expressionY= numeric-column | expression < / option(s)> ; |
| Required Arguments |
- X
-
specifies the column for the category values. Each X value is always treated as a unique value. The bars in the chart appear in the order that the X values are present in the data.
- Y
-
specifies the column for the response values.
| Options |
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| BACKGROUND= color | style-reference | Specifies the background color of the graph. |
| BACKTRANSPARENCY= number | Specifies the degree of the transparency of the background color. |
| DATATRANSPARENCY= number | Specifies the degree of the transparency of the bars. |
| FILL= boolean | Specifies whether to fill the interior of the bars. |
| FILLCOLOR= color | style-reference | Specifies the color of the interior fill of the bars. |
| GROUP= column | Creates a separate segment within each bar for each unique group value of the specified column. |
| ORIENT= HORIZONTAL | VERTICAL | Specifies the orientation of the Y axis and the bars. |
| OUTLINECOLOR= color | style-reference | Specifies the color of the outlines around the bars. |
| TIP= ( column-list ) | Specifies the information to display when the cursor is positioned over a graph element in the data area. |
| TRANSPARENCY= number | Specifies the degree of the transparency of the bars and background, if displayed in a graph. |
| XAXIS= X | X2 | Specifies whether data is mapped to the primary X axis or the secondary X (X2) axis. |
| YAXIS= Y | Y2 | Specifies whether data is mapped to the primary Y axis or the secondary Y (Y2) axis. |
| YERRORLOWER= numeric-column | Specifies the values of the lower endpoints on the Y error bars. |
| YERRORUPPER= numeric-column | Specifies the values of the upper endpoints on the Y error bars. |
- BACKGROUND= color | style-reference
-
specifies the background color of the graph.
Default: Specified by the GraphBackground:Background style reference. Interaction: Ignored in a LAYOUT OVERLAY block. For information, see Ignored Plot Options in a LAYOUT OVERLAY Block. - BACKTRANSPARENCY= number
-
specifies the degree of the transparency of the background color.
Default: 0 Range: 0 (opaque) to 1 (entirely transparent) Interaction: The BACKTRANSPARENCY= option overrides the TRANSPARENCY= option for the background. Interaction: Ignored in a LAYOUT OVERLAY block. For information, see Ignored Plot Options in a LAYOUT OVERLAY Block. See also: TRANSPARENCY= option - DATATRANSPARENCY= number
-
specifies the degree of the transparency of the bars.
Default: 0 Range: 0 (opaque) to 1 (entirely transparent) Interaction: The DATATRANSPARENCY= option overrides the TRANSPARENCY= option for the bars. See also: TRANSPARENCY= option - FILL= boolean
-
specifies whether to fill the interior of the bars.
Default: TRUE - FILLCOLOR= color | style-reference
-
specifies the color of the interior fill of the bars.
Default: Specified by the GraphDataDefault:Foreground style reference. - GROUP= column
-
creates a separate segment within each bar for each unique group value of the specified column.
- ORIENT= HORIZONTAL | VERTICAL
-
specifies the orientation of the Y axis and the bars.
Default: VERTICAL - OUTLINECOLOR= color | style-reference
-
specifies the color of the outlines around the bars.
Default: Specified by the GraphOutlines:Foreground style reference. - TIP= ( column-list )
-
specifies the information to display when the cursor is positioned over a graph element.
Default: All of the variables specified for the graph. Requirement: You can activate tool tips in a SAS program by specifying an ODS GRAPHICS statement that has IMAGEFMT=STATICMAP specified. Requirement: Tool tips are only available for graphs that are written to the ODS HTML destination. Tool tips are only displayed if they are activated by the SAS program that generates the ODS graphics output. - TRANSPARENCY= number
-
specifies the degree of the transparency of the bars and background if displayed in a graph.
Default: 0 Range: 0 (opaque) to 1 (entirely transparent) Interaction: You can specify the transparency of individual graph elements by using the BACKTRANSPARENCY= and DATATRANSPARENCY= options. The value specified by the TRANSPARENCY= option is only applied to the transparencies that you do not specify individually. Interaction: In a LAYOUT OVERLAY block, the TRANSPARENCY= option only affects the bars and the data labels. The LAYOUT OVERLAY statement specifies the transparency of the background of the graph. - XAXIS= X | X2
-
specifies whether data is mapped to the primary X axis or to the secondary X (X2) axis.
Default: X Interaction: Within a LAYOUT OVERLAY block, multiple plots can share a primary axis and a secondary axis. The primary and secondary axes can have different scales, and the XAXIS= option for a particular plot can map data to either axis. The XAXISOPTS= and X2AXISOPTS= options of a LAYOUT OVERLAY statement specify whether the axes are displayed, and specify the axis characteristics. - YAXIS= Y | Y2
-
specifies whether data is mapped to the primary Y axis or to the secondary Y (Y2) axis.
Default: Y Interaction: Within a LAYOUT OVERLAY block, multiple plots can share a primary axis and a secondary axis. The primary and secondary axes can have different scales, and the YAXIS= option for a particular plot can map data to either axis. The YAXISOPTS= and Y2AXISOPTS= options of a LAYOUT OVERLAY statement specify whether the axes are displayed, and specify the axis characteristics. - YERRORLOWER= numeric-column
-
specifies the values of the lower endpoints on the Y error bars.
Default: The lower segment of the error bars is not drawn. Restriction: The YERRORLOWER= option cannot be used with the GROUP= option. Restriction: The error bar color is a solid black 1 pixel line and cannot be changed. - YERRORUPPER= numeric-column
-
specifies the values of the upper endpoints on the Y error bars.
Default: The upper segment of the error bars is not drawn. Restriction: The YERRORUPPER= option cannot be used with the GROUP= option. Restriction: The error bar color is a solid black 1 pixel line and cannot be changed.
