The GPLOT Procedure

Example 3: Adding a Right Vertical Axis

Procedure features:

BUBBLE2 statement options:

	BCOLOR=
	BSIZE=
	CAXIS=
	VAXIS=

Data set:

REFLIB.JOBS

Sample library member:

GR21N03

This example modifies Labeling and Sizing Plot Bubbles to show how a BUBBLE2 statement generates a right vertical axis that displays the values of the vertical coordinates in a different scale from the scale that is used for the left vertical axis. Salary values are scaled by dollars on the left vertical axis and by yen on the right vertical axis.

BUBBLE and BUBBLE2 statement options control the size and appearance of the bubbles and their labels. In particular, the VAXIS options calibrate the axes so that the data points are identical and only one set of bubbles appears.

Note: If the data points are not identical, two sets of bubbles are displayed. [cautionend]
