Hi all,
I am creating a line plot with gplot procedure, and would like to change the appearance of the legend.
Below are my codes.
The look of my legend is
But the style I want is
I know that I can use repeat = N to control the number of dots in the legend,
and I can use shape = symbol(width, height) to change the size and width of the the legend.
But if I am using both, say
legend1 label = NONE repeat = 1 shape = symbol(50 pt, 10 pt) FRAME position = (TOP RIGHT INSIDE);
It will end up to be like this
i.e. by defining repeat = 1, I am losing the ability of changing the width of legend shape.
Does anyone know how to do it?
Thank you!

Unfortunately, I don't think gplot's legend statement will let you do what you're wanting.
But, as always, if you're willing to do a little extra custom coding, you could 'fake' the legend you're wanting with annotate:
data anno_legend;
length function $8 style $35 text $100;
xsys='1'; ysys='1'; hsys='3'; when='a';
function='move'; x=50; y=95; output;
function='draw'; x=60; line=1; color='black'; size=.001; output;
function='label'; x=55; position='+'; style='albany amt/unicode'; text='25cf'x; color='black'; size=4.0; output;
function='label'; x=61; position='>'; style=''; size=2.5; text='Super drug'; output;
function='move'; x=75; y=95; output;
function='draw'; x=85; line=3; color='black'; size=.001; output;
function='label'; x=80; position='+'; style='albany amt/unicode'; text='25cb'x; color='black'; size=4.0; output;
function='label'; x=86; position='>'; style=''; size=2.5; text='Old drug'; output;
run;
Move to proc sgplot and GTL, gplot is really old. When you do you will have a lot more control over your graphs and will find it far simpler. You can read through the posts in this blog:
http://blogs.sas.com/content/graphicallyspeaking/
Which have examples of anything you can think of with code.
