I am having simple Bar plot. See below code. In SCORE dataset for name "LMN" doesn't have any marks. I want to present star(*) at the x-axis below tickvalues (I can hide tickvalues).

Any thoughts How to present Star(*) at axis, indicating it is different from dataset row having no values.

 

data score;

input name $1-3 marks 5.;

datalines;

abc 50

bcd 70 

LMN   

kgh 90

uyt 10

;

run;

 

proc template;

define statgraph temp;

begingraph;

layout overlay;

barchart x=name y=score;

endlayout;

endgraph;

end;

run;

 

proc sgrender data=score template=temp;

run;

You can use the XAXISTABLE statement for this. Why not simply use Proc SGPLOT for the graph. See example below

 

 

data score;
  infile cards dlm="," dsd missover;
  input name $ marks ;
  if missing(marks) then do;
    marker = "*";
  end;
  datalines;
ABC,50
BCD, 
LMN,  
KGH,90
UYT,10
;

proc sgplot data=score tmplout="c:\temp\sgplot2gtl.sas";
  vbarbasic name / response=marks;
  xaxistable marker / nolabel location=inside valueattrs=(size=15pt color=red) ;
xaxistable marker / nolabel location=outside valueattrs=(size=15pt color=red) ; run;

Another way would be to annotate the * character:

 

data score;
input name $1-3 marks 5.;
datalines;
abc 50
bcd 70
LMN
kgh 90
uyt 10
;
run;

 

data score_anno; set score (where=(marks=.));
length label $300 anchor x1space y1space function textcolor $50;
layer='front';
x1space='datavalue'; xc1=name;
y1space='graphpercent'; y1=7;
function='text'; label='*';
textcolor='gray55'; textsize=15;
width=100; widthunit='percent'; anchor='center';
run;

 

proc sgplot data=score pad=(bottom=10pct) sganno=score_anno;
vbarparm category=name response=marks;
xaxis display=(nolabel);
run;
