This example uses the FITNESS data set to produce a horizontal
bar chart that shows the number of people in each age group in a fitness program.
It charts the numeric variable AGE, with the frequency
statistic. Because the values of AGE are continuous, the procedure automatically
divides the ages into ranges and displays the midpoint of each age range.
The frequency statistic calculates the number of observations in each range.
The chart statistic defaults to FREQ because the SUMVAR= and TYPE= options
are omitted. The table of statistics displays all the statistic values.
The program also subgroups each age group bar to show
the number of men and women in the group. Because the default value for the
PATTERNID= option is SUBGROUP, the procedure automatically assigns a different
pattern to each subgroup and the PATTERNID= option is unnecessary.
PATTERN statements specify the colors for the subgroups.
Whenever the GCHART procedure uses PATTERN statements, the default outline
color of the bars changes from black to the color of the bar. Because this
program uses PATTERN statements, it also uses COUTLINE= to specify a black
outline for the bars.
The second part of this example modifies the midpoint
axis and the table of statistics, and uses RUN-group processing to produce
the following chart. This part of the program specifies the midpoint value
for each bar and requests only the FREQ statistic for the
table.
