gchart hbar graph is smashed vertically

rleduc — Sun, 20 Oct 2013 20:42:38 GMT

Hello World,

It should be obvious I am a graph noob, but I cannot figure out what I have done to mess this up. I have a program that automatically makes hundreds of gchart vbar images within a macro (and that works fine), but then when it gets to drawing a set of hundreds of hbar images for some reason all my images are smashed horizontally. I have created a sample program that replicates the error, and have an example image showing the problem -- both are attached. At this point I would welcome any suggestions. (I have a feeling it is some ODS global value that I have set on my system -- but I cannot figure out what.)

Thanks,

Rich

I guess the question is ... "What would you like the graph to look like?"

Your code is trying to plot so many things (and therefore so many bars) in 1 graph, that it is 'squishing' them all together.

If you plot it 'by cat' (separate graph for each cat), rather than using cat as the 'group' variable, then you will get a several separate graphs, rather than having it all squeezed into 1 ... but I'm not sure if that's what you're wanting.

proc sort data=show_problem;
by cat;
run;

proc gchart data=show_problem;
where Gene_ID = "Test";
by cat;
hbar id /
type=sum
sumvar=intensity
legend=legend1
nostats

Ahh - ok...

If you want the graph to be vary large (tall), you can set the ypixels to a large value, and then experiment with the width (bar width), space (space between bars) and gspace (space between groups) until you get values where SAS does not complain about overlapping (in the log).

But with extremely tall sas/graphs, there is typically a lot of space wasted at the top & bottom of the graph. (Perhaps someone other than me knows a 'trick' around this?)

axis1 label=(f="Arial/Bold" "Standardized Intensity");
axis2 label=none;
axis3 label=none;

title1 "Test";

goptions ypixels=4000;

proc gchart data=show_problem;
where Gene_ID = "Test";
hbar id /
type=sum
sumvar=intensity
group=cat
patternid=group
NOZERO
legend=legend1
nostats
raxis=axis1
maxis=axis2
gaxis=axis3
space=0
gspace=.15
width=.18
