g3d tooltip

[guyvdboer]

hello all,

I would like to visualize in an activx object (in 3d) the clusters of objects (result of proc prinqual and proc fastclus).

in the graph i would like to show as tooltip not the (default) 3 coordinates but some descriptive elements of the object e.g. name, city...

the HTML= options does not work with proc g3d?

this is the code i tried so far...(without and with annote dataset)

data data2;
set data1;
length tips $ 100;
tips = 'TITLE="Hosp: ' || trim(NameHospital) || '0D'X ||
City: ' || trim(city) || '"';
run;
data anno;
set data2;
x=dim1; y=dim2; z=dim3;
length function $10 html $ 100;
function='LABEL';
html = 'TITLE="Hosp: ' || trim(NameHospital) || '0D'X ||
City: ' || trim(city) || '"';
text = html ; 
run;

options device = activex;
ods html body = 'C:\temp\SAS_tmp\VZN_threeD.html' ;
ods graphics on / imagemap=on;

proc g3d data = data2 ;
scatter dim2 * dim1 = dim3 / grid noneedle shape="balloon" size=2; * html=tips;
run;
quit;
proc g3d data = data2 ;
scatter dim2 * dim1 = dim3 / ANNO=anno grid noneedle shape="balloon" size=2;
run;
quit;

goptions reset = all;
ods html close;
ods listing;

the tooltips remain unchanged...

thanks for any suggestion or advice !

greetings,

Guy

The ACTIVEX and ACTXIMG devices do not display custom data tips when the number of observations exceeds 5000.                  

Are you in this situation?

ActiveX doesn't seem too keen on tooltips for 3D plots.

Here is a test using ActiveX and GIF drivers, and using proc GPLOT and proc G3D.

Tooltips show for 3 graphs, but not ActiveX + G3D.

Note that you must draw an area in ANNOTATE for the tooltips to appear. I made the areas visible (red rectangles) in this example, but you can hide them using

WHEN 'B' COLOR 'white';

Here is the example:

proc g3grid data= SASHELP.CLASS out=GRID;
  grid WEIGHT*HEIGHT=AGE;
run;

data PLOT; 
  set GRID;  
  HTML  =catt('title="Tooltip1 Y=',WEIGHT,' X=',HEIGHT,' Z=',AGE,'"');
  AGE   =round(AGE);
  HEIGHT=round(HEIGHT);
  WEIGHT=round(WEIGHT);
run;
data ANNO; 
  set PLOT; 
  retain XSYS YSYS ZSYS '2' WHEN 'A' COLOR 'red';
  FUNCTION='move'; Y=WEIGHT; X=HEIGHT; Z=AGE; 
  output; 
  FUNCTION='bar'; X+1; Y+1; Z+.1; HTML=catt('title="Tooltip2 X=',X,' Y=',Y,' Z=',Z,'"');
  output;
run;

symbol1 v=dot h=1;
symbol2 v=dot h=1;
symbol3 v=dot h=1;
symbol4 v=dot h=1;
symbol5 v=dot h=1;

ods html file="%sysfunc(pathname(WORK))\test.html" gpath='.';
goptions dev=activex;
proc gplot data=PLOT; plot WEIGHT*HEIGHT=AGE /html=HTML;run; 
proc g3d   data=PLOT; plot WEIGHT*HEIGHT=AGE ;run;

proc gplot data=PLOT anno=ANNO; plot WEIGHT*HEIGHT=AGE ;run;  
proc g3d   data=PLOT anno=ANNO; plot WEIGHT*HEIGHT=AGE ;run;

goptions dev=gif;
proc gplot data=PLOT; plot WEIGHT*HEIGHT=AGE /html=HTML name='u1';run; 
proc g3d   data=PLOT; plot WEIGHT*HEIGHT=AGE /          name='u2';run;

proc gplot data=PLOT anno=ANNO; plot WEIGHT*HEIGHT=AGE /name='u3';run;  
proc g3d   data=PLOT anno=ANNO; plot WEIGHT*HEIGHT=AGE /name='u4';run;
ods html close;
