Problem with Time of Day in Annotate

pfarmer — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 20:30:47 GMT

I am trying to use Annotate and Proc Gplot to combine / annotate with the time of day (within same 24 hour period) on the xaxis. If I plot my data using Gplot, no problem. If I try to bring it in with my x set to time of day I get the error:

A CALCULATED COORDINATE LIES OUTSIDE THE VISIBLE AREA X

which says my data is too big. However, it is time of day formated as time of day. If I do a gplot it plots just fine. I have played with different xyxs values with no change. Any thoughts?

thanks,

205 data anno ;

206 length function color $ 8 ;

207 format x tod5. ;

208 retain xyxs ysys '3' size 2 ;

209 set temp ; * Tracker data for one Barlogie day as a test ;

210 ID = _n_ ;

211 function = 'move' ; x='09:00'T ; *x = arrivetime ; y = _n_ ; output ;

212 function = 'draw' ; x='10:00'T ; *x = leavetime ; y = _n_ ; color= 'red' ; size= 3 ; output ;

I notice you probably have an error in your retain statement -- rather than xyxs, you probably intended it to be xsys:

retain xyxs ysys '3' size 2 ;

Also, when annotating values based on the data's coordinate system, you probably want to use xsys and ysys of '2'.

Thank you very much. One of those obvious, slap myself
silly things. Been working with SAS since 1977, then get hung on something simple like this. I have fought this for 3 days.

I would never admit publicly that I've done something similar...

But I've probably done something similar! 😉
