Mapping with variables

JohnT — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 00:47:23 GMT

Hi,

I've never done mapping in SAS before (or any other application for that matter). I've had a peak at Robert Allison's website, and it has lots of good examples, but they're a little too complex for me to just stick my data into it and customise.

We have a lot of data, which has the latitude/longitude. These values don't match what we see in MAPS.AUSTRAL. They're off by a factor on 100, having said that, it obviously doesn't have every single point in Australia on that table.

So, what I'd like to do is with my small subset of data identify each point on a map, and with a variable, eg income, I would want the point to be coloured a certain way.

eg,

Latitude: -27.465608
Longitude: 153.010336
Income: $50,000,000

and

Latitude: -28.005627
Longitude: 153.367188
Income: $20,000,000

Let's say anything more than $25,000,000 get a red dot, otherwise it gets a green dot.

How would I use the above with the MAPS.AUSTRAL ?

Thanks.

edit:
I should say I'm using SAS 9.2 TS Level 2M0 on Windows XP

edit:
I have attempted to do this based on the following link

http://robslink.com/SAS/democd28/impact_info.htm
^^

here's the log, the output gives me nothing on the html file and a picture of Australia with no dots on it. What am I doing wrong? Or am I attempting to approach this the wrong way?

Here's the essential/minimal code to do what you're wanting...

data stadiums;

name='GC Stadium'; Lat=-28.005627; Long=153.367188; Income=20000000; output;
run;

data stadiums; set stadiums;
/* convert degrees to radians, and longitude to 'eastlong' */
x=atan(1)/45 * long * -1;
y=atan(1)/45 * lat;
anno_flag=2;
run;

/* combine and project the lat/long radian values */
data combined; set maps.austral (drop = x y rename=(lat=y long=x)) stadiums;
run;
proc gproject data=combined out=combined dupok;
id id;
run;

/* separate the map and point data again */
data austral stadiums; set combined;
if anno_flag eq 2 then output stadiums;
else output austral;
run;

/* convert projected point data into annotated dots */
data stadiums; set stadiums;
length color $8;
xsys='2'; ysys='2'; hsys='3'; when='a';
function='pie'; rotate=360; size=1.1;
if (income gt 25000000) then color='red';
else color='green';
style='psolid'; output;
style='pempty'; color='gray33'; output;
run;

pattern1 v=solid color=cornsilk;
title "Australia Stadium Income";
proc gmap map=austral data=austral anno=stadiums;
id id;
choro id / levels=1 nolegend coutline=grayaa;
run;

Hi Robert,

Fantastic, that's exactly what I was after.

I think I can use this as a stub for other stuff one day too.

Now all I have to do is really understand what the code is doing, ie read up what gproject and gmap are actually doing.

Thanks again.

edit:
After playing around with Robert's code, I've realised that PROC GMAP wants to have a RUN statement at the end of it, which was why my job in the first post didn't work. I put a QUIT instead. I'll be using RUN;QUIT; when I run future jobs of this nature. Message was edited by: John T

hi ... another non-GMAP-related suggestion ...

you might find it easier to use one of the CAT functions when constructing links, this ...

href_string = 'http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll='
|| trim(left(lat))
|| ','
|| trim(left(long))
|| '&spn=0.074899,0.102654&t=h&z='
|| trim(left(zoom))
|| '&om=1';

can be replaced by this (I used multiple lines to make it look like your statement) ...

href_string = cats(
'http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=',
lat,
',',
long,
'&spn=0.074899,0.102654&t=h&z=',
zoom,
'&om=1'
);

the CATS function implies TRIM+LEFT when you use a variable name
