ODS Graphics: GTL, BARCHART, and BARLABEL

deleted_user — Wed, 06 May 2009 15:34:07 GMT

How can I display the bar statistic value at the end of the bar?

I've tried the BARCHART statement's BARLABEL option, but it generates an error when running PROC TEMPLATE.

Thanks,
Randy

proc template;
define statgraph b_test;
begingraph / border=false ;
layout overlay / xaxisopts=(display=none) yaxisopts=(display=none) WALLDISPLAY=NONE ;
barchart x=value / name="legend" orient=vertical display=standard barlabel=true barwidth=1
fillattrs=(color=RED) OUTLINEATTRS=(color=black);
endlayout;
endgraph;
end;
run;

Care to share the exact SAS error message you receive?

With BARLABEL option:

388 begingraph / border=false ;
389 layout overlay / xaxisopts=(display=none) yaxisopts=(display=none) WALLDISPLAY=NONE ;

Hi:
The documentation implies that BARLABEL=TRUE should work:
http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/grstatgraph/61949/HTML/default/barchart_sect4.htm#grstatgraph_barchart_barlabel

If you find that it doesn't work, you might wish to work with SAS Tech Support to find an answer.
