Band in PROC SGPLOT

fastb — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 11:59:51 GMT

The attached graph was created in PROC SGPLOT. I want the gray band to extend the full width of the plot. However, I would like the data points to stay where they are. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure how to do it in sgplot, but you can do it in gplot by annotating the gray shaded range ...

data foo;
input entry $ 1-7 value group;
datalines;
Entry A 1.20 1
Entry A 1.25 2
Entry A 1.50 3
Entry A 1.60 4
Entry B 1.23 1
Entry B 1.41 2
Entry B 1.52 3
Entry B 1.61 4
;
run;

data anno_range;
xsys='1'; ysys='2'; when='b';
function='move'; x=0; y=1.2; output;
function='bar'; x=100; y=1.6; color='graydd'; style='solid'; output;
run;

symbol1 value=circle interpol=none color=black;
symbol2 value=triangle interpol=none color=black;
symbol3 value='x' interpol=none color=black;
symbol4 value=plus interpol=none color=black;

axis1 label=none minor=none order=(0 to 2.0 by .2) offset=(0,0);
axis2 label=none offset=(30,30);

proc gplot data=foo anno=anno_range;
plot value*entry=group / vaxis=axis1 haxis=axis2 nolegend;
run;

The "constant" bands are extended to the edge only if the X variable is numeric. So, change your X variable to numeric, and add a UDF for the labels and set x axis offsets to 0.2.

proc sgplot data=BandNum;

band x=x upper=1.5 lower=1.05;

scatter x=x y=y / group=group name='a';

yaxis values=(0 to 2 by 0.2) display=(nolabel);

xaxis offsetmin=0.2 offsetmax=0.2 display=(nolabel) values=(1 2);

keylegend 'a' / location=inside position=topright;

run;
