The GCONTOUR Procedure

PROC GCONTOUR Statement

Identifies the data set that contains the plot variables. Optionally specifies annotation and an output catalog.

Requirements: An input data set is required.

Syntax

PROC GCONTOUR <DATA=input-data-set>
<ANNOTATE=Annotate-data-set>
<GOUT=<libref.>output-catalog>
<INCOMPLETE>;

ANNOTATE=Annotate-data-set
ANNO=Annotate-data-set

specifies a data set to annotate all graphs produced by the GCONTOUR procedure. To annotate individual graphs, use ANNOTATE= in the action statement.

DATA=input-data-set

specifies the SAS data set that contains the variables to plot. By default, the procedure uses the most recently created SAS data set.

GOUT=< libref. >output-catalog

specifies the SAS catalog in which to save the graphics output produced by the GCONTOUR procedure. If you omit the libref, SAS/GRAPH looks for the catalog in the temporary library called WORK and creates the catalog if it does not exist.

Creating and Specifying Catalogs

allows plotting of data when over 50 percent of the plot grid contains missing data.
