tooltip for BOXPLOT using GTL

[gauravp1993]

Hello,

I am trying to create custom tooltip (other than used in imagemap=ON) using GTL .is it possible to show tool tip data using categories other than used in boxplot. 

Following is the code i am trying with:

ods graphics on/ border=off width = 1300PX HEIGHT = 650PX imagemap=on;

proc template;
define statgraph boxplot;
begingraph;
entrytitle "Boxplot";
layout overlay;
boxplot y=mnval x=Variant/spread=true ;
referenceline y=&bin_lsl/curvelabel="LSL=&bin_lsl" ;
referenceline y=&bin_usl/curvelabel="USL=&bin_usl";

endlayout;
endgraph;
end;

proc sgrender data=xyz template=boxplot;
where Plant="&Plant" and 'Shorttext'n = "&test_param"
;
label Variant="RM variant";
run;

Hi

Have a look at the sample mentioned with BOXPLOTPARM statement, looks like it does what you need.

thank you for suggesting this method 🙂

but do we have to provide calculated stats like mean median to y axis while defining stat= option?

it is showing ths error for me:

The boxplotparm statement will not be drawn because one or more of the required arguments were not supplied.

I replaced boxplot with boxplotparm , added stat=stat and orient=vertical in above code.

Hi

Have a look at the doc for the BOXPLOTPARM, it states:

Requirements:

The input data must be precomputed. See Input Data Requirements for the BOXPLOTPARM Statement.

So BOXPLOT and BOXPLOTPARM are not interchangeable.
