customizing the P-chart

bhr-q — Sun, 05 May 2024 13:53:05 GMT

with the following code, the chart displays a label " p-chart for yes_answer1" at the top, under the main chart title.

I have two questions about that:

How to remove that, i.e "p-chart for yes_answer1" ?
How can I modify the chart so that the main title " P-chart of Patient Counseling by Quarter" appears at the top of the chart instead of "p-chart for yes_answer1"

title "P-chart of Patient Counseling by Quarter";
proc shewhart data=tmp2;
pchart yes_answer1*quarter/ markers subgroupn = total_count1
nohlabel ;
LABEL yes_answer1 ="Proportion of pts counselled"; /*this would be for y axis and no issue with this*/
run; title;

Start with

ods graphics off;

and use regular TITLE statement.

When using ODS Graphics with PROC SHEWHART

ods graphics on;

(the default)

, you will not be able to use a regular TITLE statement to add a title to the graph.

However, you can use the ODSTITLE option on the PCHART statement, such as:

   pchart &v * _YEAR_MONTH / subgroupn = population
                        ODSTITLE='My New Shewhart Title'

With the first approach (ods graphics off; ), I will get this warning:

“WARNING: Traditional graphics are not available because either SAS/GRAPH is not licensed for your system, or the license has expired.”

So, I don’t have access to that.

Hello,

What SAS version are you using? Is it SAS 9.4 or SAS Viya?

Submit

%put &=SYSVLONG4;

to find out (see LOG-screen for result).

To see the expiration dates for your SAS modules, you can submit:

proc setinit; run; /*SAS 9.4*/ ... or
cas; proc cas; getLicensedProductInfo; quit; /*SAS Viya*/

When you cannot turn ODS GRAPHICS ... OFF ,

you can still use the ODSTITLE= option behind the forward slash on a pchart (p-chart) statement to get what you want.

My SAS is 9.4 and I have a valid license, I can use the ODSTITLE= option behind the forward slash on a chart (p-chart)

I was just wondering why I cannot turn ODS GRAPHICS ... OFF. Thanks

When I submit

proc setinit; run;

I get

---SAS/GRAPH
  14JUL2024 (CPU A)

When I submit

proc product_status; run;

I get

For SAS/GRAPH ...
   Custom version information: 9.4_M8

M8 = Maintenance Release 8 (another maintenance release will do as well of course). M6 or above is preferred though.

I think you need to see something similar in order to be able to turn ods graphics ... off .
