Gallery - Legends


Welcome     Gallery     Handbook


Manual page for Gallery_-_Legends(PL)

This page contains some examples of legends, illustrating the available varieties and options. These examples all use ploticus's proc legend. Clickmap support is available for legend entries.


Example 1 - script

km

A legend can display samples of lines, colors, and symbols. This legend includes line and color samples. The usual procedure for building a legend is to include a legendlabel attribute with each plotting proc, then display the accumulated set using proc legend.


Example 1a - script

clickmap_leg

This example demonstrates how clickmaps may be used with legend entries. Try clicking on any entry above. For example, this could be used to take the user to more detailed descriptions of the legend entries.


Example 2 - script

lineplot5

In this example, the legend entries go across, rather than down.


Example 3 - script

propbars1

A two-column legend. Proc legend is invoked twice, using the specifyorder attribute to select entries.


Example 4 - script

scatterplot3

An example with symbols containing characters.


Example 5 - script

scatterplot3a

In this example, the legend is built by defining entries explicitly invoking proc legendentry once per entry. The legend is rendered using proc legend.


Example 6 - script

hbars3

This example uses a single line of entries with some multi-line labels.
