Hmmm. That may be a bug. We don't expect scatterplots with MARKERCHARACTER to be added to a legend, so it is still drawing a default marker. Setting MarkerAttrs does not work either as it ignores it. Here I used "- - - -" for median:

Jay54 · ‎06-14-2012

No, there is no way in SAS 9.2 to get the marker character into the legend. However, there are other ways to skin the cat. I have done this before: What you want is a line segment to represent the mean and median. I use the VECTOR plot to do this. You can add the vector plot into the legend. Here, the mean values for each group are computed and added to the data. The X variable is numeric with a UDF. The values are 1, 2, 3. So, you can make the vector span from -delta to +delta on each side of the value. In your case without a grouped case it should be simpler. If you want mean and median, you can create a point pair for each. You can set the line pattern of the second to dash, and see both values in the graph and legend.

You did not specify the new style on the ODS RTF destination. ods rtf style=markstyle file='C:\test1.rtf'; It does not matter if the name of the statement is "S" or "Toto", as long as you use the same name in the KeyLegend statement.

On RTF, the default style has colored lines and markers. You already set all markers to black. If you want the lines to be black too, set the lineattrs on the series plot statement. For thicker lines use - lineattrs=(color=black thickness=2). Alternatively, you can just use STYEL=JOURNAL on the ODS RTF statement to get a fully black and white graph. Then you don't need to set the line and marker attrs to black. proc sgplot data=test; xaxis label='Temperature' ; yaxis label="solicity" ; title ""; series x = temp y = value / group=trt lineattrs=(color=black) ; scatter x = temp y = value / group=trt markerattrs=(size=9 color=black) name='s'; keylegend 's'; run;

Note NAME option on scatter plot addition of KEYLEGEND stmt. proc sgplot data=test; xaxis label='Temperature' ; yaxis label="solicity" ; title ""; series x = temp y = value / group=trt markerattrs=(size=9 color=black) ; scatter x = temp y = value / group=trt markerattrs=(size=9 color=black) name='s'; keylegend 's'; run;

Which method did you go with?

Jay54 · ‎06-12-2012

If you have multiple columns instead of groups, you add a scatter plot for each treaatment and just set the mMARKERATTRS for each plot statement.

With SAS 9.2, you will have to build a custom style to get the marker shapes you want. To ensure you will get the correct marker regardless of their position in the data, I normally just add dummy values in the data with group values I want at the top.. The X or Y values can be made missing to prevent plotting of these dummy values. but these values ensure the assignment of all the group (or treatment) values and their order. With SAS 9.2 GTL, you can use the INDEX option, and place the index values of the style element 1-12 in the data. With SAS 9.3, you can use DiscreteAttrMap to deterministically tie specific marker shapes to specific treatment values.

The list you have included has all the marker symbols that can be used in SG and GTL. However, you can add a scatter plot with "-" as a symbol with the MARKERCHAR option.

See another idea (SAS 9.3) in blog article on Broken y-Axis.

Jay54 · ‎05-31-2012

Yes, I don't think this is limited to SAS9.3. I used SAS 9.3 to do the custom legend items. However, you could let the plot build the legend as usual. Don't set the marker size to zero, instead make the marker x or y value missing. Then, the legend will still be created, but no markers will draw.

Rick's idea is the easiest. Now, you could use a GTL Lattice Layout with a two cell stack. Pre summarize (or bin) the data, and use a HistogramParm or a BarChart in each cell. Make upper cell shorter. Set the Y axis Viewmin and Viewmax to see the ranges you need. Here is example. Let me know if this work for you? data TallBar; input X $ Y; datalines; A 10 B 15 C 12 D 17 E 200 ; run; proc print;run; proc template; define statgraph tall_bar; begingraph; entrytitle 'Broken Bar'; layout lattice / rows=2 columndatarange=union rowweights=(0.4 0.6) rowgutter=5; columnaxes; columnaxis; endcolumnaxes; layout overlay / yaxisopts=(display=(ticks tickvalues) offsetmin=0 linearopts=(viewmin=185 tickvaluelist=(190 195 200))); barchart x=x y=y; endlayout; layout overlay / yaxisopts=(display=(ticks tickvalues) offsetmin=0 linearopts=(viewmax=25 tickvaluelist=(0 5 10 15 20))); barchart x=x y=y; endlayout; endlayout; endgraph; end; run; ods graphics / reset width=4in height=3in imagename='Tall_bar'; proc sgrender data=TallBar template=tall_bar; run;

Here is a Graphically Speaking blog article on a similar topic.

The answer depends on which release you are using. At SAS 9.2 - A simple (non-grouped) Horizontal box plot can be made as below: proc sgplot data=sashelp.cars; hbox horsepower / category=type; run; At SAS 9.3 - A grouped Horizontal box plot can be made as below: proc sgplot data=sashelp.cars; hbox horsepower / category=type group=origin groupdisplay=cluster; run; But, you may not have SAS 9.3, in which case you can use SAS 9.2 GTL by overlaying two box plots, and use DiscreteOffsets to position them side by side. See this article on Distribution of Max LFT.
