I have data, which varries, with a list of zips and their corresponding x and y coordinates, these are going to be points on a map. Now if I have two of the same zip their x and y will be the same and I want to move them so the points on the map are not overlapping. Also I could have more than two zips that are the same in some cases I sometimes have 5. I know how to move them with respect to zips but then when I move the coordinates they still overlap sometimes. I need help to make sure nothing is overlapping. Any suggestions? Thanks.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 22 May 2012 14:22:42 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Loop-Needed/m-p/123305#M33888 AAWTomHanks 2012-05-22T14:22:42Z Re: Loop Needed https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Loop-Needed/m-p/123306#M33889 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi ...</P><P></P><P>#1&nbsp; you could try jittering (offset the points), lots of references including ... <A href="http://support.sas.com/kb/24/923.html">http://support.sas.com/kb/24/923.html</A></P><P></P><P>#2&nbsp; or how about just using a different size symbol (or different symbols) that varies in size (or type) by the number of whatever at any given location.</P><P></P><P>#3&nbsp; or, I assume you add symbols to a map with annotate.&nbsp; If' I'm correct, the POSITION variable has 15 distinct values for any set of x/y coordinates.&nbsp; So maybe just varying the value of POSITION will allow you to avoid overlap</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 22 May 2012 15:22:20 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Loop-Needed/m-p/123306#M33889 MikeZdeb 2012-05-22T15:22:20Z
