Required Arguments

chart-variable(s)

  • specifies one or more variables that define the categories of data to be charted. The values of the chart variable determine the spokes in the corresponding radar chart. These values are the observations in the reference data set for the chart variable. You must have at least three observations in the data set as it takes three points to define a plane. Technically, you can create a GRADAR chart with only one or two observations, but a true chart will not display.

Options

Options in a CHART statement affect all graphs produced by that statement. You can specify as many options as you want and list them in any order.

ACROSS= variable

ACROSSVAR= variable

  • generates a radar chart for each value of the specified variable, and displays the charts from left-to-right across the graphics area. If used with the DOWN= option, the charts are drawn in left-to-right and top-to-bottom order. To limit the number of columns and/or rows that are displayed, use the NCOLS= and NROWS= options. Used with the ORDERACROSS= option.

  • Featured in: Example 4 on page 1201 and Example 5 on page 1202.

ANNOTATE= Annotate-data-set

ANNO= Annotate-data-set

  • specifies a data set to annotate charts produced by the CHART statement.

  • See also: Chapter 24, Using Annotate Data Sets, on page 587

CAXIS= grid-color

CAXES= grid-color

CA= grid-color

  • specifies a color for the chart frame. The specified color must be a valid SAS/GRAPH color name. If you omit the CAXIS= option, PROC GRADAR uses the first color in the colors list as the chart frame s color.

  • Not supported by: ActiveX

CFRAME= background-color ( variable )

CFR= background-color ( variable )

  • fills the frame area with the specified color. You can specify a valid SAS/GRAPH color name, or a character variable of length eight whose value is the background color.

  • Featured in: Example 2 on page 1198 and Example 9 on page 1208.

CFRAMESIDE= color ( variable )

  • specifies the color for filling the frame area for the row labels displayed along the left side of a chart. The specified color must be a valid SAS/GRAPH color name, or a character variable of length eight whose value is the background color. If a label is associated with the classification variable, the specified color is also used to fill the frame area for this label. By default, these areas are not filled.

  • Featured in: Example 5 on page 1202

CFRAMETOP= color ( variable )

  • specifies the color for filling the frame area for the column labels that are displayed across the top of a chart. The specified color must be a valid SAS/GRAPH color name, or a character variable of length eight whose value is the color. If a label is associated with the classification variable, the specified color is also used to fill the frame area for this label. By default, these areas are not filled.

  • Featured in: Example 5 on page 1202

CSPOKES= spoke-color ( variable )

CSPOKE= spoke-color

  • specifies a color to use for the spokes in a chart. The specified color must be a valid SAS/GRAPH color name, or a character variable of length eight whose value is the color. By default, the spokes are colored by the first color in the colors list.

  • Featured in: Example 7 on page 1205

CSTARCIRCLES= color ( colors-list )

CSTARCIRCLE= color ( colors-list )

  • specifies a color or list of colors for the circles that are requested with the STARCIRCLES= option. All specified colors must be valid SAS/GRAPH color names , or a character variable of length eight whose value is the color. By default, the color specified with the CSTARS= option is used. If CSTARS= is not specified, the first color in the colors list is used.

  • Featured in: Example 3 on page 1199

CSTARFILL= color ( colors-list )

  • specifies a color or colors for filling the interior of stars that are produced for a radar chart. All specified colors must be valid SAS/GRAPH color names.

    • If the OVERLAY= option is not used, each chart contains only one star. In that case, specify a single fill color for the star. If the ACROSS= and/or DOWN= options are used, the specified color is applied to each star in the tiled display.

    • If the OVERLAY= option is used, the chart contains multiple stars. In that case, specify a list of colors in parentheses. Be sure that there are at least as many colors in the list as there are stars in the chart. If you do not specify enough colors for each star in the chart to have a separate color, the default color list is used to assign colors to additional stars. The color for the star positioned at subgroup n on the chart is the value of the color corresponding to the color at position n in the list of colors.

  • By default, the interior of the stars is empty. For empty stars, use the CSTARS= option to specify a color for the star outline.

    If CSTARFILL= is specified and CSTARS= is not specified for the outline, then the outline is the same as CSTARFILL.

    If CSTARFILL= is not specified and STARFILL=SOLID, then the star is filled with the color that is specified on CSTARS=.

    If STARFILL= is not set or is set to EMPTY, then CSTARFILL= is ignored.

    Featured in: Example 6 on page 1204

CSTARS= color ( colors-list )

CSTAR= color ( colors-list )

  • specifies a color or colors for the outlines of stars that are produced for a radar chart. All specified colors must be valid SAS/GRAPH color names.

    • If the OVERLAY= option is not used, each chart contains only one star. In that case, specify a single color for the star. If the ACROSS= and/or DOWN= options are used, the specified color is applied to each star in the tiled display.

    • If the OVERLAY= option is used, the chart contains multiple stars. In that case, specify a list of colors in parentheses. Be sure that there are at least as many colors in the list as there are stars in the chart. If you do not specify enough colors for each star in the chart to have a separate color, the default color list is used to assign colors to additional stars. The color for the star positioned at subgroup n on the chart is the value of the color corresponding to the color at position n in the list of colors.

    By default, the colors in the devices are used, starting with the second color.

  • Featured in: Example 2 on page 1198 and Example 9 on page 1208.

CTEXT= text-color

  • specifies a color for all text on the chart. The specified color must be a valid SAS/ GRAPH color name, or a character variable of length eight whose value is the color. For ActiveX devices, the default color is black. For other devices, if you omit CTEXT=, PROC GRADAR searches for a color specification in this order:

    1. the CTEXT= option in a GOPTIONS statement

    2. the first color in the GOPTIONS colors list (the default).

CTILES=( variable ) color

CTILE=( variable ) color

  • specifies a character variable of length eight whose values are the fill colors for the tiles in a radar chart. By default, the tiles are not filled. The values of the specified variable must be identical for all observations with the same level of the classification variables. The same color can be used to fill more than one tile. Use the special value, EMPTY, to indicate that a tile is not to be filled.

    Alternatively, CTILES= can specify a valid SAS/GRAPH color name to color all the tiles the same color.

    The CTILES= option cannot be used in conjunction with the NOFRAME option or the CFRAME= option. You can use the TILELEGEND= option in conjunction with the CTILES= option to add an explanatory legend for the CTILES= colors at the bottom of the chart.

  • Not supported by: ActiveX

DESCRIPTION= entry-description

DES= entry-description

  • specifies the description of the catalog entry for the chart. The maximum length for entry-description is 256 characters long. The description does not appear on the chart. By default, the GRADAR procedure assigns a description of the form RADAR CHART OF variable , where variable is the name of the chart variable.

    The entry-description can include the #BYLINE, #BYVAL, and #BYVAR substitution options, which work as they do when used on TITLE, FOOTNOTE, and NOTE statements. The 256-character limit applies before the substitution takes place for these options; thus, if in the SAS program the entry-description text exceeds 256 characters, it is truncated to 256 characters, and then the substitution is performed.

    The descriptive text is shown in the "description" portion of each of the following:

    • the Results window

    • the catalog-entry properties that you can view from the Explorer window

    • the Table of Contents that is generated when you use CONTENTS= on an ODS HTML statement ( assuming the GRADAR output is generated while the contents page is open )

    • the Description field of the PROC GREPLAY window.

DOWN= variable

DOWNVAR= variable

  • generates a radar chart for each value of the specified variable, and displays the charts from top-to-bottom in the graphics area. If used with the ACROSS= option, the charts are drawn in left-to-right and top-to-bottom order. To limit the number of columns and/or rows that are displayed, use the NCOLS= and NROWS= options.

  • Featured in: Example 5 on page 1202.

FONT= font

  • specifies the font for all text strings in the radar chart. If you omit FONT=, the font that is specified by the FTEXT= graphics option is used.

  • Featured in: Example 7 on page 1205.

FREQ= variable

  • specifies a frequency variable whose value provides the counts ( numbers of occurrences) of the values of the process variable. Specifying a FREQ= variable is equivalent to replicating the observations in the input data set. The FREQ= variable must be a numeric variable with non-negative integer values. If you specify more than one process variable on the CHART statement, the FREQ= variable values are used with each process variable. If you do not specify a FREQ= variable, each value of the process variable is counted exactly once.

  • Featured in: Example 2 on page 1198.

FRAME NOFRAME

  • FRAME (the default) draws a frame around the procedure output area. By default, the frame color is the first color in the colors list. If you want to specify a different color for the frame, use the CFRAME= option for a filled frame, and CAXIS= for only the frame outline color.

    NOFRAME suppresses the frame that is drawn around the chart by default. The NOFRAME option cannot be specified in conjunction with the CFRAME= or CTILES= options.

    Not supported by: ActiveX

HEIGHT= height

HLABEL= height

  • specifies the height in percent screen units of text for labels and legends. This option should be used only in conjunction with the FONT= option. The HEIGHT= option takes precedence over the HTEXT= option in a GOPTIONS statement.

HTML= variable

  • identifies the variable in the input data set whose values create links in the HTML file created by the ODS HTML statement. The maximum length for the value of this variable is 1024 characters.

HTML_LEGEND= variable

  • identifies the variable in the input data set whose values create links in the HTML file created by the ODS HTML statement. These links are associated with a legend value and point to the data or graph you wish to display when the user drills down on the value. The maximum length for the value of this variable is 1024 characters.

IFRAME= fileref external-image-file

  • specifies an image file to use on the chart's frame. Fileref must be a valid SAS fileref up to eight characters long and must have been previously assigned with a FILENAME statement. External-image-file must specify the complete file name of the image file you want to use. The format of external-image-file varies across operating environments. For more information, see Placing a Backplane Image on Graphs with Frames on page 115.

    Featured in: Example 7 on page 1205.

    Not supported by: ActiveX

IMAGESTYLE=TILE FIT

  • specifies the way to display the image file that is specified on the IFRAME= option. TILE copies the image as many times as needed to fit the frame. FIT stretches the image so that a single copy fits within the frame.

    Note: When used with IFRAME, the IMAGESTYLE option must be within the PROC statement. When used with IBACK, the IMAGESTYLE option goes on the GOPTIONS statement.

    Featured in: Example 7 on page 1205.

INBORDER

  • requests an inside border around the chart (this border is inside the chart's frame).

    Not supported by: ActiveX

INHEIGHT= value

  • specifies the height in percent screen units of text used inside the frame of the chart, such as sample size legends and bar labels. This does not change the size of titles or footnotes.

    Not supported by: ActiveX

INTERTILE= value

INTERCHART= value

  • specifies the distance in horizontal percent screen units between tiles ( cells ) in a chart and is used only with the ACROSS= and/or DOWN= options. By default, the tiles are contiguous ( value =0).

    Featured in: Example 5 on page 1202.

LAST= category

  • specifies that the spoke corresponding to the category is displayed to the left of the start angle. The category must be a formatted value of the process variable and must be enclosed in quotes.

    Not supported by: ActiveX

LSPOKE= linetype

  • specifies a line type for the spokes in a radar chart. The default linetype is 1, which produces a solid line.

LSTARCIRCLES=( linetypes )

LSTARCIRCLE=( linetypes )

  • specifies one or more line types for the circles requested with the STARCIRCLES= option. The number of line types should match the number of circles requested as follows :

     starcircles  = (0.0 1.0 0.25 0.5)  lstarcircles = (1 1 2 2) 

    The line types are paired with the circles in the order specified. The default linetype is 1, which produces a solid line.

LSTARS=( linetypes )

LSTAR=( linetypes )

  • specifies the line types for the outlines of stars that are produced for a radar chart.

    • If the OVERLAY= option is not used, each chart contains only one star. In that case, specify a single line type for the star.

    • If the OVERLAY= option is used, the chart contains multiple stars. In that case, specify a list of line types in parentheses. Be sure that there are at least as many line types in the list as there are stars in the chart. The line type for the star positioned at subgroup n on the chart is the value of the line type corresponding to the color at position n in the list of line types.

  • By default, the outlines rotate through different line types and colors. To specify line colors, use the CSTARS= option.

    Featured in: Example 9 on page 1208.

MAXNVERT= n

MAXVERT= n

  • specifies the maximum number of vertices, from 1 to 360, in the radar chart. Either spelling of the option is accepted. The MAXNVERT= or MAXVERT= options are for use with the OTHER= option.

MISSING

  • accepts a missing value as a valid midpoint for the chart variable. By default, observations with missing values are ignored. Missing values are always valid for the overlay variables.

    Not supported by: ActiveX

MODE=SHARE PROTECT RESERVE

  • specifies the display mode for a radar chart. The following keywords are available:

    SHARE

    shares the drawing space between the text and the graph.

    PROTECT

    shares the drawing space but maintains a solid rectangle (using the background color) behind the text. This is useful when the text is illegible because of the iframe image or cframe color.

    RESERVE

    reduces the size of the text and graph in order to accommodate both. RESERVE is the default.

    Featured in: Example 10 on page 1209.

NAME= entry-name

  • specifies a string, up to 8 characters long. Default: RADAR. The name duplicates an existing entry name and SAS/GRAPH software adds a number to the duplicate name to create a unique name ”for example, RADAR1.

NCOLS= n

NCOL= n

  • specifies the number of columns in a chart. You can use the NCOLS= option in conjunction with the NROWS= option. By default, NCOLS=1 and NROWS=2 if one classification variable is specified, and NCOLS=2 and NROWS=2 if two classification variables are specified. If used with the ACROSS= and DOWN= options, the default number of columns and rows are calculated by the number of classifications for the variables that are listed on ACROSS= and DOWN=. In that case, you can use NCOLS= and NROWS= to limit the number of columns and rows that are specified.

    Featured in: Example 5 on page 1202.

    Not supported by: ActiveX

NOFRAME

  • suppresses the frame that is otherwise drawn around the chart by default. The NOFRAME option cannot be specified in conjunction with the CFRAME= or CTILES= options

NOZEROREF

  • turns off the zero reference line when negative values are plotted. When a negative value is plotted, a dashed line indicates the zero position. You can not change the appearance of this zero reference line, but you can turn it off with the NOZEROREF option. The zero reference line does not appear if there are no negative values plotted.

NROWS= n

NROW= n

  • specifies the number of rows in a chart. You can use the NROWS= option in conjunction with the NCOLS= option. See NCOLS= for details. By default, NROWS=1.

    Featured in: Example 5 on page 1202.

    Not supported by: ActiveX

ORDERACROSS=FREQ DATA INTERNAL FORMATTED EXTERNAL

  • Specifies the display order for the values of the ACROSS=variable.

    Not supported by: ActiveX

OTHER= category

  • specifies a new category that merges all categories not selected because of the MAXNVERT= or MAXVERT= option. The category should be specified as a formatted value of the process variable. The OTHER= option is applicable only if you also specify the MAXNVERT= or MAXVERT= option.

OVERLAY= overlay-variable

OVERLAYVAR= overlay-variable

  • creates a comparative radar chart using the levels of the overlay variable. All charts are displayed in the same set of spokes. This option cannot be used with the ACROSS= or DOWN= options.

    Featured in: Example 3 on page 1199.

SPIDERWEB SPIDER

  • displays lines connecting the points where tick marks would be instead of displaying the tick marks, using the same number of points for all axes as for the first axis. The default number of web lines is three.

    If there is an axis statement along with the SPIDERWEB option, then the web gets its values such as number, thickness , and color from the MAJOR=() values for the axis drawn at the first position (default is 12 o clock).

SPKLABEL=CATEGORY NONE

  • labels the chart spokes with the category of the variable that is being charted. NONE suppresses the labels. The default is CATEGORY; however, if the STARLEGEND= option is specified, the default is NONE.

STARAXIS= (AXIS<1 99><, ,AXIS<1 99>>)

STARAXES= (AXIS<1 99><, ,AXIS<1 99>>)

  • assigns one or more axis definitions to the axis spokes in the radar chart. GRADAR displays axis spokes clockwise, starting at the 12 o clock position. The axis definitions that are specified using the STARAXIS= option are assigned consecutively to the spokes, starting from the first spoke. For example, STARAXIS=(AXIS3, AXIS1, AXIS2) assigns the AXIS3 statement s definition to the first axis spoke (at the 12 o clock position), the AXIS1 statement s definition to the second axis spoke, and the AXIS2 statement s definition to the third axis spoke.

    The axis definitions are assigned consecutively, and you cannot skip a spoke. For example, to assign a definition to the seventh spoke, you must also assign definitions to the first six spokes. However, you do not have to assign definitions to all of the spokes. Any remaining axis spokes on the GRADAR chart are displayed with the default settings. For example, if the STARAXIS= option specifies three definitions and the chart has more than three axis spokes, the fourth and remaining spokes are displayed with the default settings. If there are more definitions specified than there are axis spokes in the chart, the excess definitions are ignored.

    Featured in: Example 11 on page 1210.

    Not supported by: ActiveX

STARCIRCLES=( values )

STARCIRCLE=( values )

  • specifies reference circles that are superimposed on the stars that are produced for a radar chart. All of the circles are displayed and centered at each point plotted on the primary chart. The value determines the diameter of the circle as follows: a value of 0.0 specifies a circle with the inner radius , which displays a circle at the minimum data value, and a value of 1.0 specifies a circle with the outer radius , which is the length of the spokes in the chart. In general, a value of h specifies a circle with a radius equal to inradius + h —( outradius ˆ’ inradius).

    For example, the values 0.0 and 1.0 correspond to an inner circle and an outer circle . The value 0.5 specifies a circle with a radius of inradius + 0.5 —( outradius -inradius) , or a circle halfway between the inner circle and the outer circle. Likewise, the value 0.25 specifies a circle one-fourth of the way from the inner circle to the outer circle.

    To specify the line types for the circles, use the LSTARCIRCLES= option. To specify colors for the circles, use the CSTARCIRCLES= option.

    Featured in: Example 3 on page 1199.

STARFILL= lists of (SOLID EMPTY) one for each star

  • determines whether the star(s) in the radar chart are empty or filled with a solid color. Valid values are EMPTY (the default) and SOLID. If there are multiple stars in the chart, specify, in parentheses, a separate value for each star.

    If STARFILL=SOLID and CSTARFILL= is not specified, then the star is filled with the color specified on the CSTARS= option.

    If STARFILL= is not set or is set to EMPTY, then CSTARFILL= is ignored.

    Featured in: Example 6 on page 1204.

STARINRADIUS= value

STAROUTRADIUS= value

  • STARINRADIUS= specifies inner radius of stars. The value must be specified in horizontal percent screen values, and it must be less than the value that is specified with the STAROUTRADIUS= option. The inner radius of a star is the distance from the center of the star to the circle that represents the lower limit of the standardized vertex variables. The lower limit can correspond to the minimum value, a multiple of standard deviations below the mean, or a lower specification limit. The default value is one-third of the outer radius.

    Not supported by: ActiveX

STARLEGEND=CLOCK CLOCK0 NUMBER DEGREES NONE

  • specifies the style of the legend used to identify the vertices of stars that are produced for a radar chart. The following keywords are available:

    CLOCK

    identifies the vertex variables by their positions on the clock (starting with 12:00).

    CLOCK0

    identifies the vertex variables by their positions on the clock (starting with 0:00 corresponding to 12:00).

    NUMBER

    identifies the vertex variables by numbers, with 1 corresponding to 12 o clock.

    DEGREES

    identifies the vertex variables by angles in degrees, with 0 degrees corresponding to 12 o clock.

    NONE

    suppresses the legend. This is the default.

    Featured in: Example 4 on page 1201.

STARLEGENDLAB= legend-label

  • specifies the label displayed to the left of the legend for stars requested with the STARLEGEND= option. The label can be up to 16 characters and must be enclosed in quotes. The default label is Vertices: .

  • Featured in: Example 4 on page 1201.

  • Not supported by: ActiveX

STARSTART= value

  • specifies the vertex angle for the first variable that is specified on the CHART statement. Vertex angles for the remaining variables are uniformly spaced clockwise and assigned in the order listed. You can specify the value in the following ways:

    • Clock position: If you specify the value as a time literal (between 0:00 T and 12:00'T), the corresponding clock position is used for the first vertex variable. For example, 12:00'T indicates the 12 o clock position, 03:00'T the 3 o clock position (90 degrees), and 09:00 T the 9 o clock position (270 degrees).

    • Degrees: To specify a value in degrees you must specify a negative number. (This is to distinguish degrees from clock values, which are stored internally as positive numbers.) If you specify a negative number, the absolute value is used for the first vertex angle in degrees. Here, 0 degrees corresponds to 12:00, ˆ’ 90 degrees to 3:00, and ˆ’ 270 degrees to 9:00. Always specify the value in degrees as a negative number.

  • The default value is zero, so the first vertex variable is positioned at 12:00.

STARTYPE=CORONA POLYGON RADIAL SPOKE WEDGE

  • specifies the style of the stars that are produced for a radar chart. The following keywords are available:

    CORONA

    polygon with star-vertices emanating from the inner circle

    POLYGON

    closed polygon

    RADIAL

    rays emanating from the center

    SPOKE

    rays emanating from the inner circle

    WEDGE

    closed polygon with rays from the center to the full spoke length (this is the default).

  • Featured in: Example 5 on page 1202 and Example 8 on page 1207.

SUMVAR= summary-variable

  • specifies the variable used to calculate the sum or means.

TILELEGEND= variable

  • specifies a variable used to add a legend for CTILES= colors. The variable can have a formatted length less than or equal to 32. If a format is associated with the variable, then the formatted value is displayed. The TILELEGEND= option must be used in conjunction with the CTILES= option for filling the tiles in a chart. If CTILES= is specified and TILELEGEND= is not specified, a color legend is not displayed.

    The values of the CTILES= and TILELEGEND= variables should be consistent for all observations with the same level of the classification variables. The value of the TILELEGEND= variable is used to identify the corresponding color value of the CTILES= variable in the legend.

    Not supported by: ActiveX

TILELEGLABEL= label

  • specifies a label displayed to the left of the legend that is created when you specify a TILELEGEND= variable. The label can be up to 16 characters and must be enclosed in quotes. The default label is Tiles: .

    Not supported by: ActiveX

WFRAME= n

WAXIS= n

  • specifies the width in pixels for the frame lines. The default width is 1.

    Not supported by: ActiveX

WEIGHT= numeric-variable

  • specifies a weight variable used to construct weighted radar charts. The WEIGHT= variable must be numeric, and its values must be non-negative (non-integer values are permitted). If a WEIGHT= variable is not provided for a chart variable, the weights applied to that chart variable are assumed to be 1.

    Not supported by: ActiveX
