ODS Graphics and proc greplay

[Jennys]

Hi all

Is it possible to use proc greplay with graphs created with ods graphics? The graphs created by ods graphics is png format, and I can´t figure out how to refter to them in my proc greplay.

Tks for advice
Best regards
Jenny

Hi,
ODS Graphics cannot be used with Proc Greplay because it does not create a gseg catalog entry. So you may have to investigate Proc Sgplot and Proc Sgpanel, instead of greplay.

Thanks for the hint. I´ll do that

Hi:
I was away from my computer when I did my first post. Here are a couple of SGPANEL examples to get you started. And some links to the documentation and some papers to investigate:

If you want to put together heterogenous graphs (e.g. a bar chart and a box plot), I discuss a technique for doing this at the end of my "Secrets of the SGProcedures" paper (http://support.sas.com/resources/papers/proceedings09/324-2009.pdf). Take a look at that infomation and see if it helps.

I want to put together two boxplots in one panel. I tried with the transparency, and got an error: ERROR: Box plots may not be overlaid.

ods html path='.' (url=none)
gpath='.' (url=none)
file='boxes.html'
style=ocean;
proc sgplot data=sashelp.class
tmplout="temp2.sas";
vbox height / category=age;
vbox weight / category=age transparency=0.3;
run;
ods html close;

The SG procedures currently do not allow boxplot overlays; however, you can do this in gtl. Run this programs and see if this is what you want:

proc template;
define statgraph boxplot;
begingraph;
layout overlay / cycleattrs=true;
BoxPlot X=Age Y=Height / LegendLabel="Height" datatransparency=0.5 name="a";
BoxPlot X=Age Y=Weight / LegendLabel="Weight" datatransparency=0.5 name="b";
discretelegend "a" "b";
endlayout;
endgraph;
end;
run;

proc sgrender data=sashelp.class template=boxplot; run;

This is perfect, I added the orient=horizontal, so now I am very satisfied.

Do you know if it´s possible to control the position of the boxes, so that they don´t overlap. Here is one example of the graph I am thinking of:

Thank you very much.

Can I use the proc template in SAS 9.2 TS level1M0. Thanks

To the OP: yours is a new query, suggest you not piggy-back on a query that was authored by someone else -- consider though adding a link in your forum post as an alternative to highlight relative content.

Also, your choice of forum is something else to consider next time - SAS/Graph has its own forum.
