Hello,
I was wondering how you could highlight a specific data point in a scatter plot of SGPLOT. I can individual label the data points using data steps, but there are too many data points in the plot to use it. I would like to be able to make this individual symbol either bold, filled, a differen't color, or do something else to make it stand out.
Thank you,
Jeff S. O.
If you are not already using groups, you can put that point in a separate group.
But the simplest way is to create a new variable
data newData;
set myData;
if case = somethingSpecial then ySpecial = y;
run;
proc sgplot data=newData;
scatter x=x y=y;
scatter x=x y=ySpecial / markerAttrs=(color=red);
run;
You could also use SG annotation, but that's probably too much trouble.
