Sort by response value
By default, the bars are ordered alphabetically.
With categoryorder=respdesc, the bars are ordered by their height (response value).
data dat;
length txt $10;
do i = 1 to 100;
if rand('unif') > 0.85 then txt = 'DEFG';
else if rand('unif') > 0.75 then txt = 'ABC';
else if rand('unif') > 0.80 then txt = 'KLMNOP';
else txt = 'HIJ';
output;
end;
run;
ods graphics on;
proc sgplot data = dat;
/* Bars are ordered alphabetically by default: */
vbar txt;
run;
proc sgplot data = dat;
vbar txt /
/* respdesc: Order the response values
in descending order. */
categoryorder=respdesc ;
run;
Restrict drawn bars
The following example uses
xaxis type=discrete values=('one' 'two' 'three' 'four' 'five' 'six' 'seven' 'eight' 'nine' 'ten');
to choose which bars should be drawn:
ods graphics on;
data tq84_distribution;
call streaminit(2808);
do obs = 1 to 1000; /* Create 1000 observations */
num = 1;
do while(1);
if rand('norm') > 1 then leave;
num = num+1;
end;
txt = put(num, words30.);
output;
end;
run;
proc sgplot data = tq84_distribution;
vbar txt;
xaxis type=discrete values=('one' 'two' 'three' 'four' 'five' 'six' 'seven' 'eight' 'nine' 'ten');
run;
