Hi,

Have a look through this blog: http://blogs.sas.com/content/graphicallyspeaking/

It has examples of pretty much anything you can think of doing with graphs, generally provides sgplot and GTL code for each one. GTL is probably easier.

Hi:

This might be better posted in the Graph forum. But I can easily control the legend when I run this code. I guess I don't understand what you mean by 4 "bar line" charts -- 1 bar and 4 lines? or...?

Cynthia

** run the code once with the KEYLEGEND statement and then;

** run it again without and you should see what the KEYLEGEND statement does;

ods listing;

proc sgplot data=sashelp.shoes;

vbar product / response=returns stat=mean name='bar';

vline product / response=inventory stat=mean name='inv' y2axis;

vline product / response=sales stat=mean name='sal' y2axis;

keylegend 'inv' 'sal';

run;

Not the top article in particular, it is a blog, so has many posts on different subjects. You should however find an example there, try the search box for Legend, has many examples.

Hi Cynthia

It is 4 graphs in one pdf page which need to have one common legend for all the 4 graphs .Not 4 lines and one bar in one graph.

Try layout lattice per: http://blogs.sas.com/content/graphicallyspeaking/2013/02/12/gtl-layouts/

That even shows common legend.

Hi, Sounds like PROC SGPANEL to me. You can easily get 4 graphs on 1 page in a PDF file with 1 legend.

Cynthia

ods pdf file='c:\temp\_4graf.pdf';

proc sgpanel data=sashelp.shoes;

where (product contains 'Dress' or

product contains 'Casual') and

region in ('Asia', 'Pacific', 'Canada');

panelby product;

vbar region / response=sales stat=mean group=region;

run;

ods pdf close;

Hi Cynthia,

Its not a sgpanel procedure as I am creating a bar line chart I used Proc sgplot. It is similar to the below example but the only thing is I am not getting the common legend.

41461 - Put multiple PROC SGPLOT outputs on the same PDF page using PROC GREPLAY
