The BOXPLOT Procedure |

The labels on the horizontal axis in Figure 18.5 do not represent 20 consecutive days, but the box-and-whisker plots are evenly spaced (note that the TURNHLABEL option orients the horizontal axis labels vertically so there is room to display them all).
In order to treat the group variable as continuous, you can specify the CONTINUOUS or HAXIS= option. Either option produces a box plot with a horizontal axis scaled for continuous group variable values.
The following statements produce the plot shown in Figure 18.6. Note that the values on the horizontal axis represent consecutive days. Box-and-whisker plots are not produced for days when no turbine data was collected. The TOTPANELS= option is specified to display the entire box plot on one panel.
