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.


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 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.
