Mark specific graph Node in proc GPLOT?

Hi,

I'm new in SAS/GRAPH facility so I need small help with simple SAS graph:

DATA:

Date: Time:

05.02.2013 10:01:29

14.02.2013 11:02:01

25.02.2013 10:10:16

03.03.2013 10:24:08

18.03.2013 9:27:40

18.03.2013 9:56:19

18.03.2013 12:18:50

01.04.2013 11:02:41

SAS code:

symbol1 ci=Blue c=Red i=join v=dot l=1 w=2;

proc gplot data=&InTable;

plot startTime*startDate=1/ AUTOHREF AUTOVREF;

run;

Result Graph in attached image.

So what I need is just mark last Graph node in Bold(or in another color etc.) else I'd like automatically add some label to this last Graph node , this label will have concattenated Date and Time value:"01.04.2013 11:02:41"

Thanks!

hi.

the simplest way I know is to use a small annotate data set.

First you need to sort your data by startDate;

proc sort data = have;by startDate;run;

Then create the annotate data set, where you say if it is the last date then change the color:

data annotate;

length function color $8 text $20;

retain xsys ysys '2' when 'a';

set have end = _last_;

by startDate;

function='symbol';

xc = startDate

y = startTime;

size=1.3;

text='dot';

color = 'blue';

/* The symbol color is determined by the value of a variable. */

if (_last_) then do;

color='green'; size = 2;

end;

output;

run;

symbol1 ci=Blue c=Red i=join v=dot l=1 w=2;

proc gplot data= have;

plot starttime*startDate=1/ AUTOHREF AUTOVREF anno = annotate;

run;quit;

Good luck!

Anca.
