PROC SGPLOT REFLINE statement for multiple reference lines

Recep — Thu, 13 May 2021 17:45:26 GMT

Hello all,

I'm trying to put reference lines into a figure that I would like to produce. The sample data and code below produces two reference lines through the complete x-axis (i.e. starting at y=0 for both reference lines for each block) whereas I want to have one reference line for the "Level1" block that starts at y=0 and ends at the end of the block, and another refence line that starts where the "Level 2" block starts (instead of starting at y=0). Is there any way to accomplish this within the PROC SGPLOT? I know that I can accomplish it if I was using PROC SGPANEL but that procedure creates other issues for me hence I want to stick to PROC SGPLOT.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Since you apparently are trying to limit the line in the graph area you might consider adding the data points for the start and end points into the data set and add a VECTOR plot to connect the points. You'll likely want to use some options to display the resulting line segments as desired.
