Where to add code for Custom Graphs in SAS VA

OscarBoots2 — Mon, 19 Feb 2018 22:26:22 GMT

Hi Forum,

I've been creating some custom graphs & want to enhance them further.

I've seen some great graphs that use SGPLOT code to change the properties etc.

What I haven't found is where in VA I should add that code so it can make those changes to the graph?

Can anyone help here?

Thanks

Here's an example from the 'net to enhance a chart;
title "The Danger of High Price-Earnings Ratios";
footnote j=l "Source: Robert J. Shiller";
proc sgplot data=pe_data noautolegend nocycleattrs;
yaxis offsetmin=0;
band x=year upper=pe10 lower=0 / fillattrs=(color=red);
band x=year upper=20 lower=0;
refline 20 / label="PE=20";
refline 10 20 30 40 / lineattrs=GraphGridLines;
series x=year y=pe10 / lineattrs=GraphData1 datalabel=label;
run;

And just to put this in context here's a link to instructions on creating these graphs;

SAS code can't be used in SAS VA, except when called as part of a stored process. This link explains how these work:

http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/vaug/69957/HTML/default/viewer.htm#p08zq1v1bfz46an1frvdohjtjiap.htm

Please note that the resultant graphs in VA will be static images and will not contain any of the dynamic interaction capabilities of graphs constructed in VA itself.

SAS VA has it's own "custom graph" objects that can only be created in the VA interface.
