GKPI Procedure

Example 2: Creating a Gray Scale Bullet Graph

Features:

PROC GKPI statement option: MODE=RAISED

VBULLET statement options:: COLORS=; TARGET=

Sample library member:

GKPGRBUL

This example creates a vertical bullet graph. It uses a gray scale color scheme that provides a good contrast between ranges. This color scheme can be used in output that is included in publications that are not in color.

Program

goptions reset=all device=javaimg xpixels=130 ypixels=250;

proc gkpi mode=raised;
vbullet
   actual=.58  bounds=(0 .22 .38 .52 .68 1) / target=.75
   colors=(cx747474 cx8C8C8C cxB2B2B2 cxD2D2D2 cxE6E6E6);
run;

quit;

Program Description

Set the graphics environment.Use the XPIXELS and YPIXELS options in the GOPTIONS statement to scale the KPI charts to a size that would be appropriate for use in a dashboard.

goptions reset=all device=javaimg xpixels=130 ypixels=250;

Generate the KPI chart. Specify the range boundaries, actual KPI value, target value, and colors. The gray scale colors are specified using hexadecimal RGB values.

proc gkpi mode=raised;
vbullet
   actual=.58  bounds=(0 .22 .38 .52 .68 1) / target=.75
   colors=(cx747474 cx8C8C8C cxB2B2B2 cxD2D2D2 cxE6E6E6);
run;

End the procedure. The GKPI procedure supports RUN-group processing, so it is recommended that you enter the QUIT statement to end the procedure.

quit;
