proc corr is suppressing some of my scatterplots

hein68 — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 15:06:19 GMT

Hello. I'm using proc corr and I want it to create 16 scatterplots. I know there is a limit to the number of scatterplots it will create, but I was also told that there is an option I can add to get all of the scatterplots. Can you help me? Here is my code:

ODS GRAPHICS ON;
PROC CORR DATA=data
	PLOTS=(SCATTER MATRIX)
	PEARSON
	SPEARMAN
	VARDEF=DF
	;
	VAR bfpwv_b cfpwv_b;
	WITH socstress_b hwss_ism hwss_ssm hwss_rsm hwss_fsm hwss_psm hwss_esm fossc_b;
RUN;
ODS GRAPHICS OFF;

Hello @hein68,

Add the NWITH=ALL option:

PLOTS=(scatter(nwith=all) matrix(nwith=all))

Moreover, if the total number of data points in the scatter plot matrix exceeds 5000, you will need to add the MAXPOINTS=NONE option:

PLOTS(maxpoints=none)=(scatter(nwith=all) matrix(nwith=all))

If the plots are all you are interested in you might also consider Proc SGSCATTER. The Compare statement allows similar list of x and y variables for the plots.

Or go whole hog and display regressions with the plots...
