Hi ,

I made an annotated dataset to try out the sgplot, and found the result is not what I expected, Could you tell me what i should do to make my existing annotated datasets are still valuable in new powerful procedure sgplot?   

 

Thank you so very much.

The advantage to SGPLOT is that sometimes there's an easier/better way to do things.

 

Both codes generate a standard scatter plot but the GPLOT has some random lines? 

 

In SGPLOT I would consider using REFLINE/POLYGON/TEXT instead to mimic some of the functionality you had with the annotation sets. I'm not sure this would work in your exact situation/example.

Annotation in SGPLOT is NOT the same as in GPLOT.  You cannot use the same data set.  That is one reason the option name is called SGANNO, not ANNO.  See this article on some information.

 

That said, there are better ways to create graphs in SG procedures without use of annotation as alluded to by Reeza.  See Getting Started articles in Graphically Speaking Blog for many articles on using plot layers.

Thanks, Sanjay and Reeza, I got it, The sgplot is not going to replace the gplot, we still need old annotate library to build some graphs like the example I randomly drew.
