BAR Function

BAR Function

Draws a fillable rectangle whose lower-left corner is defined by the internal variables (XLAST, YLAST) and whose upper-right corner is defined by the X, Y variable pair.

Updates: XLAST, YLAST

FUNCTION='BAR';

Associated Variables

COLOR='color': specifies the color of either the interior of the bar or the outline of the bar. Color can be any SAS/GRAPH color name. The part of the bar affected depends on the value of the STYLE variable. If STYLE specifies a pattern or fill, the COLOR variable determines the color of the interior. If STYLE specifies an empty pattern, the COLOR variable determines the color of the outline of the bar.
GROUP=group-value
MIDPOINT=midpoint-value
SUBGROUP=subgroup-value: specify coordinates for HBAR and VBAR charts from the GCHART procedure. Use these variables only with the data coordinate systems 1, 2, 7, and 8.
LINE=0...3: specifies the direction in which to adjust the outline of the bar. Use LINE values 1 and 2 to offset a particular bar from an axis or adjoining area. LINE Values for Bars illustrates LINE values.

LINE Values for Bars

SIZE=thickness

specifies a line thickness for the rectangle

STYLE='fill-pattern'

specifies the pattern that fills the bar. Fill-pattern can be the following bar and block patterns:

SOLID
S

a solid fill.

EMPTY
E

an empty fill.

style<density>

a shaded pattern:

	style can be R \| X \| L
	density can be 1...5

WHEN='B' | 'A'

specifies when to draw the bar in relation to other procedure output. See WHEN Variable.

X=horizontal-coordinate
Y=vertical-coordinate
Z=depth-coordinate
XC='character-type-horizontal-coordinate'
YC='character-type-vertical-coordinate'

define the upper-right corner of a bar (rectangle) whose lower-left corner is (XLAST,YLAST). Use the Z variable only when you are annotating output from the G3D procedure. Points Used to Construct a Bar illustrates the use of these coordinates.

XSYS='coordinate-system'

specifies the coordinate system for the X or XC variable. The XC variable can be used only with XSYS='2'. See XSYS Variable for an explanation of coordinate-system.

YSYS='coordinate-system'

specifies the coordinate system for Y or YC variable. The YC variable can only be used with YSYS='2'. See YSYS Variable for an explanation of coordinate-system.

ZSYS='coordinate-system'

specifies the coordinate system for the Z variable. See ZSYS Variable for an explanation of coordinate-system.

Details

Points Used to Construct a Bar shows how the XLAST, YLAST, and X, Y variables define the bar. The values of the XLAST and YLAST variables are usually initialized with a MOVE function or another function that updates the XLAST and YLAST pair.
