Hi folks, I am using PROC GMAP to create a map, and I was wondering if anyone knows how I can suppress the variable name in the legend that appears underneath the map. I am using the "matchnum_code" variable to inform the color scheme for the map, but I don't want the name "matchnum_code" showing up next to the legend like it's doing now. Is there an option I can use in the CHORO / statement? I don't want any label for the legend, just the values and the colors they correspond to. Code is posted below. Thanks!
PROC GMAP
DATA=CBSA
MAP=CBSA
ANNO=ANNO;
ID NAME;
CHORO matchnum_code
/ DISCRETE ;
FORMAT matchnum_code matchnum.;
RUN;
To modify behavior of a legend from the default you need to provide a LEGEND statement and tell the program to use it.
Legend1 label=none;
PROC GMAP
DATA=CBSA
MAP=CBSA
ANNO=ANNO;
ID NAME;
CHORO matchnum_code
/ DISCRETE Legend=Legend1;
FORMAT matchnum_code matchnum.;
RUN;

That worked great! Thank you! Much appreciated
buongiorno, scusate l0intrusione, ma lavorando con SAS ho trovato l'utilizzo di matchnum, ma non so a che cosa faccia riferimento, potreste aiutarmi?
Barbara91's question (Italian->English): "Good morning, sorry for the intrusion, but working with SAS I found the use of MATCHNUM, but I do not know what you're referring to, could you help me?"
MATCHNUM is just a user-defined format in their program to convert the values of the matchnum_code variable into another form better for readers of the graphics output. You can create these formats using PROC FORMAT.
Hope this helps!
