Panel Scatter Plots with BY Group Processing

[dhrumil_patel]

Hello,

I am trying to create a panel of scatter plots in a pdf file for comparison. With the code below, each individual scatter plot is printed on one page. In total, there are 450+ distinct values of ID. Is there a way to panel the scatterplots so I can compare groups of IDs together on a single page? I realize all plots for the IDs won't fit on a single page, but it would be easier to scan a few pages than 450+!

Thanks for any help or insights.

ods pdf file='path\scatter.pdf';

proc sgplot data=&dsn;
by ID;
scatter x=year y=fcst;
run;

ods pdf close;

This should work for you:

ods pdf file='path\scatter.pdf';

proc sgpanel data=&dsn;
panelby ID;
scatter x=year y=fcst;
run;

ods pdf close; 

You can set the number of rows and/or columns for the panel, or just let the procedure try to find the best panel size for you.

Hope this helps!
