proc pie


Display a pie graph using the current data set. Values will be displayed as a proportion of the sum, unless the total attribute is specified. Proc pie does not require a current plotting area to be in effect. See also the gallery pie examples.




Attributes

The datafield, center, and radius attributes must be specified.

datafield     dfield

    The data field containing the plottable values.

center     x y

    Location of the center of the pie. Example: center: 3 5.6

radius     lenvalue

    Radius of the pie. Example: radius: 1.5




Slice labeling

labelmode     legend | labelonly | line+label

    Selects the style for labeling pie slices. Legal values include:
      legend - legend entries will be accumulated so that a legend can be rendered later using proc legend. This is the default.
      labelonly - pie slice labels will be superimposed onto or outside the pie slices with no connecting lines.
      line+label - pie slice labels will be rendered outside of the pie with connecting lines.
    The labelfarout attribute may be helpful in positioning the labels. If labels collide, the firstslice attribute may be used to rotate the pie which may alleviate the problem. Labels text may be taken from data field (labelfield) or be specified directly (labels).
    Example: labelmode: labelonly
    Example: labelmode: line+label

wraplen     nchars

    If specified, label text will be wordwrapped to a maximum line length of nchars characters. New in 2.32

labelfmtstring     string

    A format string that allows pie slice label content to come from one or more data fields. Text may also contain the characters \\n to symbolize line breaks, and the special symbol @@PCT which will evaluate to the percentage of the current slice (use pctfmt attribute to control displayed decimal format of the percents). This attribute is incompatible with labelfield ... you can use one or the other, but not both.
    Example: labelfmtstring: @@3 (@@PCT)
    Example: labelfmtstring: @@1 \\n @@2

labelfield     dfield

    If specified, label text or legend text will be taken from this data field (but see newer attribute labelfmtstring above which is more flexible and recommended instead). The label data field may contain the characters \\n to symbolize line breaks, as well as the special symbol @PCT which will evaluate to the percentage of the current slice (use pctfmt attribute to control displayed decimal format of the percents). This attribute is incompatible with labelfmtstring ... you can use one or the other, but not both.
    Example: labelfield: 2

labels     multi-line text

    If specified, label text will be taken from this attribute, one line per pie slice. The label text may contain the characters \\n to symbolize line breaks. Remember to terminate the multi-line text with a blank line. Label text may contain the special symbol @PCT which will evaluate to the percentage of the current slice (use pctfmt attribute to control decimal format of @PCT).
    Example: 
    labels:   Canada
	  Mexico
	  United\\nStates




Slice colors and outline

There are several ways to specify slice colors. Colors may be driven by data or given explicitly. Slices may be outlined or not.

exactcolorfield     dfield

    If specified, the color of each individual bar is controlled by this data field directly. The data field should hold recognized color names.

colorfield     dfield

    If specified, the color of each individual bar is controlled by this data field, using legend-driven technique (the legend serves as a mapping table to map data values to colors).

colors     color list

    A space-separated list of colors, one per slice. If all slices are to be the same color, just specify one color. If the number of slices is more than the number of colors, the last color is used for the remaining slices. You can also just say auto which will use a pre-selected color sequence.
    Example: color: red green orange blue

outlinedetails     linedetails

    Details pertaining to the slice outlines. To turn off slice outlines, use none.
    Example: linedetails: width=1.0 color=yellow




Slice positioning, etc.

firstslice     n

    Controls where, in degrees, that the first slice will be displayed. Default is 0 (the top). 90 corresponds to the three o'clock position. Slices are displayed in clockwise order. This may be useful to control where to slices fall, or to work around a label collision problem.
    Example: firstslice: 45

explode     w1.. wN

    A space separated list of values, one per slice. If all slices are to be exploded by the same amount, just specify one value. If the number of slices is more than the number of values, the last value is used for the remaining slices.
    Each value is a proportion of the radius. A value of 0.2 will explode a slice by 20% of the amount of the radius. A value of 0.3 will explode a slice by 30%. A value of 0.0 will not do any exploding. Thus, one slice, selected slices, or all slices may be exploded.
    Example: explode: 0 0 0.2 0 0 0

total     n

    Normally, the sum of all data is assumed to be the denominator for determining pie slice proportions. However, if total is specified, it is taken to be the denominator. This may be useful if the sum of the values do not represent the whole.
    Example: total: 285




Slice labelling details

textdetails     textdetails

    Details pertaining to rendering of the label text.
    Example: textdetails: color=blue size=10

labelfarout     z

    This attribute may be specified in order to control the placement of labels. It is a proportion of the radius. A value less than 1.0 will place labels inside the pie circle; a value greater than 1.0 will place labels outside the pie circle. If labelmode is line+label then z should be 1.2 or greater.

labelback     color

    If specified, labels will have a backing box shaded this color.
    Example: labelback: dullyellow

labelbackoutline     yes | no

    If specified as yes, labels will have an outlined backing box.

lablinedetails     linedetails

    Details pertaining to the lines that may be rendered with the labels.

pctformat     printf-spec

    Controls the format of percentages shown in the labels when @PCT is used.
    Example: pctformat: %g




Clickmaps and mouseover

clickmapurl     url-template

    If generating an HTML clickmap , this specifies a url template, and causes the pie graph labels (but not the slice regions themselves) to be mapped. This attribute usually contains one or more embedded data field references preceded by double at-sign (@@). See HTML clickmap for more details and examples.
    Example: clickmapurl: http://abc.com/mycgi?category=@@3

clickmaplabel     label-template

    If generating a client-side clickmap, this specifies a template for building mouseover text labels. These are associated with the pie graph labels, but not the entire slice regions.
    Example: clickmaplabel: @@3 (@@4)

clickmaplabeltext     multiline text

    Same as clickmaplabel but multiline text. Must be terminated with a blank line.
