HOW to create a LEGEND in sas eguide5.1 with the "grouped colored vertical bar" chart

[Jaheuk]

hi,

when using "grouped colored vertical bar" chart there is no possibility to check the legend option like in other graphs.

(however it can be done in the html output, but when you re-create the graph the legend is gone).

Can somebody give me a coded example to I can do it hard coded ?

Even this works not with me 😞

Gr,

Herman

Hi @Jaheuk 

You can use a VBAR statement in PROC SGPLOT to create this kind of graph.

Hereafter is a blog post with meaningful examples on how to use efficiently options such as groupdisplay=cluster or stack depending on what you want.

Then, this material presents how to get customized legends, and especially how to make the most of the KEYLEGEND statement:

Please do not hesitate to share some sample datalines so that we can help you build the desired graph output.

Hope this helps,
