 how to create single
plots and overlaid
plots, then refine the
plots by scaling axes,
defining plotting
symbols, and
specifying methods
of interpolating
plotted points.

overlay; each plot request would generate a
run; |<--pair1-->| |<---pair2--->| separate graph

SYMBOL statement is used

to enhance your plots by
specifying plotting
symbols, plot lines, color,
and interpolation.
Interpolation is a technique
for estimating values
between plot points and
drawing lines to connect
the points.

Setting Plotting Symbols The
VALUE= (or V=) option
specifies the plotting
symbol that represents
each data point. Possible
values for the VALUE=
option include
 the letters A through W
 the numbers 0 through 9
 a number of special
symbols including PLUS,
STAR, SQUARE, DIAMOND,
TRIANGLE, and many others
 NONE, which produces a
plot with no symbols for
data points.

SAS Techies 2009 11/02/21 10

 Setting Plotting Symbol
Height You can use the
HEIGHT= (or H=) option
to specify the height of
the plotting symbol. You
can specify a value for
height and a unit of
measurement. Valid units
are
 percentage of the display
area (PCT)
 inches (IN)
 centimeters (CM)
symbol1 value=triangle height=1 cm color=black;  points (PT)
 character cells (CELL),
which is the default unit.

SAS Techies 2009 11/02/21 11

symbol1 value=triangle interpol=none;
 Possible values include
Specifying Connecting
Lines To specify whether
or not to connect plotted
points, you use the
INTERPOL= (or I=) option
in the SYMBOL statement.
Connecting lines can be
straight lines, smoothed
lines, or vertical lines
drawn from plotted
points to a horizontal
line at zero or the
minimum value on the Y
axis.
NONE, JOIN, NEEDLE,
SPLINE, HILO, STD, and
more.

 SYMBOL statements are both global and additive. This means
that
 once defined, they remain in effect until you
change/cancel/or end the SAS session
 within one SYMBOL statement, you can change the value of
one option value without affecting the values of other
options.

Ex: symbol1 value=square color=blue interpol=needle;

symbol1 v=triangle;

SAS Techies 2009 11/02/21 13

Canceling SYMBOL Statement Options
 an individual option

symbol1 interpol=join color=yellow width=1.5;

symbol1 color=;
 all options in one SYMBOL statement

symbol1 interpol=join color=yellow width=2 value=square;

symbol2 interpol=join color=blue width=2 value=star;
symbol2; - Submitting the null SYMBOL2 statement cancels the
SYMBOL2 statement but does not affect higher or lower numbered
SYMBOL statements.

 all SYMBOL statements currently in effect.

cancel all SYMBOL statements in effect by submitting statement:
goptions reset=symbol;
 When you cancel a SYMBOL statement option, you return the option
to its default value.

 To end the procedure,
you must submit another
PROC step, a DATA step,
or a QUIT statement
(shown below). quit;
 Not all procedures
support RUN-group
processing, and
implementation varies.

PROC GCHART <DATA=SAS-data-
set>;
        chart-form chart-variable
</ options>;
RUN;
 SAS-data-set is the name of the
SAS data set to be used.
 chart-form is HBAR, HBAR3D,
VBAR, VBAR3D, PIE, or PIE3D.
The chart-form specifies a 2D or
3D horizontal bar chart, vertical
bar chart, or pie chart,
respectively.
 chart-variable is the variable
that determines the number of
bars or pie slices.

The default statistic for GCHART is

FREQ (frequency).

run;  PROC GCHART <DATA=SAS-data-
set>;
        chart-form chart-variable /
TYPE=statistic;
RUN; QUIT;

 Statistics include
CFREQ (cumulative frequency),
PERCENT (percent), and CPERCENT
(cumulative percent).

 For horizontal bar charts, unless

otherwise specified, PROC GCHART
also displays the statistics CFREQ
PERCENT, and CPERCENT

 CFREQ  and CPERCENT  are NOT

available for pie charts.

SAS Techies 2009 11/02/21 19

  proc gchart data=clinic.insure; vbar
company / sumvar=balancedue; run;
 SUMVAR= option to
summarize a variable within
categories.

 When you specify

proc gchart data=clinic.insure;
vbar company / sumvar=balancedue type=mean;
SUMVAR=, the default
statistic is SUM, so the chart
displays the total of the
values of the summary
variable for each unique
value of the chart variable.

 When you use SUMVAR=,
you can also use TYPE=.
However, the value of
TYPE= can be only SUM or
MEAN.

SAS Techies 2009 11/02/21 20

proc gchart data=clinic.insure;  enhance your charts by
vbar company / specifying patterns other
sumvar=balancedue than the default values
type=mean
patternid=midpoint; run; for bars or slices.
 PATTERNID=<BY |
MIDPOINT | GROUP |
SUBGROUP> where BY,
MIDPOINT, GROUP, or
SUBGROUP specify that
bar colors and/or
patterns vary according
to the option specified.
 You cannot use the
PATTERNID=MIDPOINT
option when you create
pie charts.

S changes the
fill pattern for all

 You cannot use the

FILL= option with bar

charts.

SAS Techies 2009 11/02/21 24

 To save graphs in a SAS catalog other than the default
catalog, you use the GOUT= option in the PROC statement for
the step that creates your graph. So, when you create charts,
you specify GOUT= in the PROC GCHART statement.

Ex:
symbol1 interpol=spline value=none color=red;
symbol2 interpol=spline value=none color=blue;
proc gchart data=clinic.therapy1999 gout=newcat;
vbar month / sumvar=swim type=sum;
hbar month / sumvar=aerclass type=sum;
where swim>35 and aerclass>35;
run;
