I want to plot horizontal boxplot with displaying subjid with different color and symbol.

dsam — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 14:02:08 GMT

I need to add follwoing:

X axis visit

Y axis change

boxplot with each subjid overlay with different symbol and color

I also need to separate shaded area for first 4 visits as treated verus rest of the visits as non treated.

Maybe we have a different idea of what a boxplot does, but if you have X as visit and Y as change, I guess its not obvious to me where the variable subject fits in. Could you show us an example of such a boxplot?

How can i create different symbol and color of the jitter for each subjectid (small circles on box plots)?

this is my code:
proc sgplot data= adprop;
vbox chg/ category= avisitn;
scatter x=avisitn y=chg/jitter ;
run;

In the VBOX statement you can label the outliers with the value of a variable (like an ID) by using the DATALABEL= option. I don't think you can have the outlier markers have a different color depending on the ID.

This works, the only problem now is I have visits 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and then 16, 20, 24. this groups shaded area in the middle where 14. but I want to cut the shadded area at 12. also, I want to have distance spread out accordingly like distance from 12 to 14 should be more compared to 10 to 12.

To get the values spaced as you described, trying setting TYPE=LINEAR on the XAXIS statement and see if you the desired results. By default, the category axis type for box plots is DISCRETE.
