Tricky plot in SAS

peppapig — Sun, 24 Nov 2013 23:25:38 GMT

Data Have:

ID	A	B	TIME
1	56	12	0
1	45	15	18
2	34	17	0
2	58	11	18
3	44	23	0
3	66	15	18
4	87	21	0
4	21	45	18
5	11	65	0
5	10	34	18
6	32	66	0
6	43	32	18
7	78	66	0
7	23	42	18
8	88	33	0
8	11	56	18
9	78	22	0
9	23	65	18
10	65	11	0
10	12	22	18

Want: Plot A*B by ID, and label time point 0 or 18 on each line connected by two points.

For example: line for ID = 1, connecting point (56, 12) and (45,15), then to label (56,12) as from time= 0, and (45,15) from time = 18.

I am stuck on the label, appreciate your great help.

Did you consider using SG graphics?

proc sgplot data=have noautolegend;

series x=a y=b / group=id datalabel=time lineattrs=(pattern=solid color=red);

run;

This is awesome! Thank you so much! It's working. And I will also add some star or dot data point if sgplot has this type of options. Thank you!

Yes, you can easily add markers to both ends. You could perhaps make arrows instead, if that makes sense

/* To add markers */

proc sgplot data=have noautolegend;
series x=a y=b / group=id datalabel=time lineattrs=(pattern=solid color=red)
markers markerattrs=(symbol=circlefilled color=red);
run;

/* To create arrows */

data haveWide;
retain a0 b0;
set have; by id;
if first.id then do;
a0 = a; b0 = b;
end;
if last.id then output;
run;

proc sgplot data=havewide noautolegend;
vector x=a y=b / xorigin=a0 yorigin=b0 lineattrs=(pattern=solid color=red);
run;
