insert ods escapechar syntax in a graph title

deleted_user — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 14:43:17 GMT

Hello,
if i submit the following code:
ods escapechar="^";
title " x^{super 3}";

proc sgplot data=sashelp.class;
scatter x= height y= weight;
run;
it's written in my log SUPER FUNCTION NOT DEFINED IN THIS TAGSET

How can i do to define my super function to write my title as i want ?

Thank you
have a nice week end in few hours

Change SUPER to SUP and it should work for you.

Thanks!

My apologies, I misspoke. The SG procedures support the UNICODE function inline with the title (and other strings) but not super and sub. You can get around this by specifying NOGTITLE on your ODS HTML statement.

Thanks!
Dan

Hi:
Here's an example that shows the way to use unicode characters for super/subscript in "classic" SAS/GRAPH and using SG procedures. (There are other ways with classic SAS/GRAPH to insert super/sub scripts with MOVE commands in the title, but these methods are much easier.) Refer to Windows Character Map or any other list of UNICODE characters to find out the values for other numbers. Note that many of the values for super/sub unicode characters start in the 20xx range and not the 00xx range.

Thanks, Dan for helping on the SGPLOT example!
