How to create a Side-by-side BOXPLOT

[Pittma050]

In SAS Studio, I have tried using the Box Plot under Graph, but it does not allow for side-by-side box plots. Therefore, I am not sure where to find this capability.

Thanks,

Hi:

  Have you looked into SGPANEL?

if you have a variable you want to group by, then SGPANEL would be the way to achieve what you want.

Cynthia,


I do not see a SGPANEL nor do I know how to find it. This is only my second week in class and using SAS OnDemand for Academics (SAS Studio). So, I am learning as I go.


Thank you so much for your assistance,

Hi: You may have to write code to use SGPANEL. That's why I showed you the code, there may not be a task for it. If your instructor wants side-by-side Boxplots, then he/she should explain how they want you to accomplish them.

@Pittma050  just a quick note that I've merged your threads into one post as they were identical.

Hello i wonder what happens when the  categories in the x axis are more than 30 

[Reeza]

@himself it depends on how large the size of the graphic is...for a 30" page it may be fine, for a standard letter page it may not be. If you have that many it's likely better to create a few groups of graphs rather than try and cram them into one graph IMO. 

[WeiChen]

use the CATEGORY= option to specify a group variable. (You can also use the GROUP= option, which adds color.) FOr an example, see

I am using SAO OnDemand for Academics. In SAS Studio, I have tried using the Box Plot under Graph, but it does not allow for side-by-side box plots. Therefore, I am not sure where to find this capability. I have looked online to find the answer, called the help desk, and look through the manual. None, have giving me an answer. 

Thanks,
