PROC SGPLOT DATALABELS

Recep — Fri, 21 Aug 2020 20:24:02 GMT

Hello all,

The following program creates the data labels separate from the graph and places them on the right hand-side. is there any option to put the data labels right on top of each bar (and the ends of each bar for the confidence limits)?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Recep

proc sgplot data=rr_blunt_penetrating_01;
hbarparm category=Site response=Log_RR/ limitlower=Log_LCL
limitupper=Log_UCL
datalabel;
run;

add another option to hbarparam, eg

DATALABELPOS=DATA

If it does not work please provide sample data

Given your use case, you could drop the DATALABEL option and overlay a TEXT plot on top of the HBARPARM. Use the same variables you used for the HBARPARM to place the text values. Use the POSITION option on the TEXt statement to adjust the text position around the data points.

Hope this helps!

Sorry for the late response, just got back from a quick break!

I already tried the DATALABELPOS=data option but it did not work for me. It simply places the labels on the right hand-side of the figure:

Below is the sample data and the SGPLOT code.

Thanks a lot again!

Thanks a lot for this Dan! I'll definitely try it. I was hoping to find a straight option but it seems like there is no one within the SGPLOT.
