EXAMPLE 10 Custom Box Plots
Purpose: Use data-driven/generalized Annotate facility code to draw a custom horizontal box plot.
It is easy to create vertical box plots (also known as box-and-whisker plots) with the SAS/GRAPH GPLOT procedure, using "symbol interpol=box". But there is no built-in support for horizontal box plots in PROC GPLOT. This is another situation where custom SAS/GRAPH programming comes in handy.
In this example, I demonstrate how to take the pre-summarized values describing a box plot, and create a custom horizontal box plot using the Annotate facility. This code should be easily re-usable for creating similar box plots with your own data, and it should also serve as a good starting point for you to write your own variations ...
