Creating a plot with a "normal range" bar on the side

JohnPura — Fri, 05 Sep 2014 14:57:34 GMT

I have plot of the trajectory of a value over time and I would like to place just outside the graph, on the right, a bar indicating the normal range of the value (including numbers). How can accomplish this in proc template?

I've attached a rough picture of what I mean.

Thanks,

John

Without having data and your existing template it is pretty hard to provide details.

My first thought on this would be to add a high-low bar associated with a minimum or maximum value of you the x variable. Or look up the examples related to the GTL Draw statements and POLYLINE.

Here is some sample data. In the original graph you saw, there are 3 groups of patients, with each patient measured up to 7 time points. Here is data from one group, which includes 3 patients.

PT	Time	Value
102	1	1.1
102	2	1.1
102	3	1.2
102	4	1.3
102	5	1.3
102	6	1.2
103	1	0.7
103	2	0.7
103	3	0.6
103	4	0.9
103	5	0.7
103	6	0.8
104	1	0.9
104	2	0.9
104	3	0.8
104	4	0.9
104	5	0.9
104	6	0.9
