I feel after searching this is likely either a really simple "no it's not possible" question, or a "did he just ask that?" question. Apologies if this is a smiple miss, but it's a small item that I can't seem to find and a big impact on how my company is able to view data and potentially use/purchase the software.
When mapping via the graph builder I have been unable to find out how I place a count label over each state. In doing a negative equity analysis I am trying to figure out how I can identify the number of data points used per state is shown on each state. This was I can see which states become larger impacts on my averages. It seems like a simple visual option, but I just don't see how I get my states to identify there is 7 making up MN and 5 making up TX, as examples.
Are you using SAS/Graph Proc Gmap? (or SAS/GIS, or SAS Visual Analytics, or other?)
If using SAS/Graph Proc Gmap, you can programmatically annotate text values on a map.
Here's an example of 1 way to do it:
I'm not actually sure what I am using, it's the default mapping withing the Graph Builder of standard JMP trial version. For simplicity, what I have is 6 lines of data making up an average of negative equity for the state of MN. The gradient shows where MN falls as a comparative average, now I'd like to add the count of '6' to the MAP to show the number of files making that up.
You'll want to post that one in the JMP forum!

You can use an annotate dataset. There's some documentation on the PROC GMAP.
