Gplot with two different data sets: How to put into one chart

deleted_user — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:55:45 GMT

/** first one has a few hundreds of obs. and a trend chart **/
goptions reset=global
gsfmode=replace
gunit=pct border cback=white ftext=swissb htitle=6 htext=3
colors=(blue green red);
symbol2 value=star color=green;
symbol1 color=red;
proc format;
value test 1 ='Meet'
0 ='Does not Meet';
run;
proc gplot data=safe;
plot J*K=z /hm=5;
format z test.;

/*** the second one is just a line cross the chart with only a few obs */

proc gplot data=safe_second;
plot t10*i /hm=5;
run;

My question:

How can I plot two into one chart?

Thanks.

There may be a couple of options:

1. Turn the second dataset (with the simple line) into an annotation dataset and pass it into the first GPLOT.
2. Assuming the variable names are unique between the two datasets, you can directly merge the two datasets and use the OVERLAY option in GPLOT.

Hope this helps!
