GCHART Procedure

Example 10: Grouping and Arranging Pie Charts

Features:	PIE statement options ACROSS=, CLOCKWISE, GROUP=, OTHER=, PERCENT=OUTSIDE, and SLICE=OUTSIDE
Other features:	GOPTIONS statement option BORDER
Sample library member:	GCHPIGRP

This example produces two pie charts that show the production of trucks worldwide. Both charts are displayed on one page and are arranged two across. The program uses the CLOCKWISE option to arrange the slices, which begin at the 12 o'clock position and proceed clockwise in alphabetic order of the midpoint.

The chart statistic is suppressed and the midpoint label and the percent of the chart statistic are displayed outside of the slice.

Program Description

Set the graphics environment.

goptions reset=all border;

Define title.

title "Types of Trucks Produced Worldwide";

Produce the pie charts. This graph uses the data set entitled CARS found in the SASHELP library. The GROUP= option creates a separate pie for each model. In combination with the GROUP= option, the ACROSS= option draws two charts across one page. The OTHER= option collects all the midpoints with statistic values less than or equal to 5% of the total into one slice. CLOCKWISE begins drawing the slices at the 12 o'clock position in alphabetic order of the midpoint. The PERCENT=OUTSIDE and SLICE=OUTSIDE display the labels outside the slices.

proc gchart data=sashelp.cars(where=(type="SUV" or type="Truck"));
  pie make / group=type
             across=2
             other=5 otherlabel="Other Makes"
             clockwise value=none
             slice=outside percent=outside;
