specifies the confidence level for the confidence limits. Specify a number between 0.00 (100% confidence) and 1.00 (0% confidence).

specifies the value of the ID variable in a discrete attribute map data set. You specify this option only if you are using an attribute map to control visual attributes of the graph.

specifies the order in which the categories are arranged. By default, the plot is sorted in ascending order based on the category values. You can change the order so that it is based on the response values.

Specify one of the following values:

specifies the width of the group clusters as a fraction of the midpoint spacing. Specify a value from 0.0 (narrowest) to 1.0 (widest).

specifies a color ramp that is to be used to determine response colors.

colormodel=TwoColorRamp

colormodel=(blue yellow green)

specifies the numeric column that is used to map colors to a continuous color ramp. The color ramp represents the range of unique response values and is displayed in a gradient legend.

specifies the statistic to use for computing the response colors when the COLORRESPONSE= option is specified. Specify one of the following values, depending on whether the COLORRESPONSE= option is also specified. When COLORRESPONSE= is not specified, the following values are valid:

displays a label for each data point.

• If you specify a variable, then the values of that variable are used for the data labels.

  If the values of the label variable are not the same for each category, then the rendered label is indeterminate. In that case, either the first or last-occurring values are displayed. With data that is stored in a table, the minimum values are displayed.

• If you do not specify a variable, then the values of the calculated response are used for the data labels. If you do not specify a response variable, then the frequency counts of the category variable are displayed.

specifies the appearance of the labels in the plot when you use the DATALABEL= option. You can specify the appearance by using a style element or by specifying specific options. If you specify a style element, you can also specify options to override specific appearance attributes.

For a description of the text options, see Text Attributes.

DATALABELATTRS=(Color=Green Family="Arial" Size=8 
        Style=Italic Weight=Bold)

DATALABELATTRS=GraphLabelText

specifies the location of the data label with respect to the plot. position can be one of the following values:

specifies a special effect to be used on the plot. The data skin affects all marker symbols. If the marker symbol is not filled, then the data skin is applied to the outlines. Specify one of the following:

specifies an amount to offset all dots from discrete category values. Specify a value from –0.5 (left offset) to +0.5 (right offset).

specifies that markers have a fill and an outline.

specifies a variable for the frequency count for each observation in the input data. Each observation is repeated n times for computational purposes, where n is the value of the numeric variable.

specifies a variable that is used to group the data. The plot elements for each group value are automatically distinguished by different visual attributes.

specifies how to display grouped dots.

specifies the ordering of the groups within a category.

specifies the label that identifies the dot plot in the legend. By default, the label of the RESPONSE= variable is used. If there is no response variable label, then the name of the response variable and the computed statistic (SUM or MEAN) is used. If the RESPONSE= option is not used, the legend label is “Frequency”.

specifies the appearance of the limit lines in the plot. You can specify the appearance by using a style element or by specifying specific options. If you specify a style element, you can also specify options to override specific appearance attributes.

For a description of the line options, see Line Attributes and Patterns.

specifies a positive number to use as a multiplier for changing the default width of the limit-bar cap (serif). For example, LIMITCAPSCALE=2 doubles the default cap width and LIMITCAPSCALE=0.5 reduces the default cap width by half.

specifies which limit lines to display. Limits are displayed as heavier line segments with a serif at the end extending horizontally from each dot. Upper limits extend to the right of the dot and lower limits extend to the left of the dot. By default, no limits are displayed unless you specify either the LIMITS= or LIMITSTAT= option. Specify one of the following values:

specifies the statistic for the limit lines. Specify one of the following statistics:

specifies the appearance of the markers in the plot. You can specify the appearance by using a style element or by specifying specific options. If you specify a style element, you can also specify options to override specific appearance attributes.

For a description of marker attributes, see Marker Attributes and Symbols.

specifies the color of the marker fill. You can specify colors using a number of different color-naming schemes. For more information, see Color-Naming Schemes.

specifies the appearance of the marker outlines. You can specify the appearance by using a style element or by specifying specific options. If you specify a style element, you can also specify options to override specific appearance attributes.

For the options, you can specify either or both of the following:

• line color
• line thickness

For a description of the line options, see Line Attributes and Patterns.

accepts a missing value as a valid category value. By default, observations with missing values are ignored. If more than one chart is specified in the procedure, the MISSING option affects the calculations for all of the charts.

specifies a name for the plot. You can use the name to refer to this plot in other statements.

suppresses the serif cap on limit lines, if limit lines are displayed.

specifies the number of standard units for the limit lines, when you specify LIMITSTAT= STDDEV or LIMITSTAT=STDERR. You can specify any positive number, including decimals.

specifies the value of the ID variable in a range attribute map data set. You specify this option only if you are using a range attribute map to control visual attributes of the graph.

specifies a numeric response variable for the plot. The summarized values of the response variable for each category value are displayed on the horizontal axis.

specifies one or more characters on which the text for data labels is always split. The text is split at every occurrence of the specified split character or characters.

"character-list" is one or more characters with no delimiter between each character and enclosed in quotation marks. For example, to specify the split characters a, b, and c, use the following option:

SPLITCHAR="abc"

When multiple split characters are specified, each character in the list is treated as a separate split character unless the specified characters appear consecutively in the value. In that case, all of the specified split characters together are treated as a single split character.

If the value does not contain any of the specified split characters, a split does not occur.

specifies that the split characters are included in the displayed value.

specifies the horizontal alignment of the value text that is being split.

specifies the statistic for the horizontal axis. Specify one of the following:

specifies whether the response variable statistic is displayed in the axis and legend labels. STATLABEL forces the statistic to be displayed. NOSTATLABEL removes the statistic from the axis and legend labels.

Normally, the procedure displays the statistic along with the name of the response variable. However, when a custom label is assigned to the response variable, the procedure does not display the statistic. In each case, you can control whether the statistic is displayed.

specifies the data tip information to be displayed when the cursor is positioned over the graphics element.

ODS GRAPHICS / IMAGEMAP;

applies formats to the list of data tip variables that you specify in the TIP= option.

Provide a space-separated list of formats enclosed in parentheses. This option provides a way to control the format of the variable data that appears in the data tips.

A one-to-one correspondence exists between the format-list and the variable-list that is specified for the TIP= option. A format must be provided for each variable, using the same order as the variable-list. If you do not want to apply a format to a variable, use the AUTO keyword instead.

applies labels to the list of data tip variables that you specify in the TIP= option.

Provide a space-separated list of quoted “text strings” enclosed in parentheses. This option provides a way to specify labels for the variable data that appears in the data tips.

A one-to-one correspondence exists between the label-list and the variable-list that is specified for the TIP= option. A label must be provided for each variable, using the same order as the variable-list. If you do not want to apply a custom label to a variable, use the AUTO keyword instead.

specifies the degree of transparency for the plot. The transparency that you specify applies to all aspects of the plot statement.

specifies an HTML page to be displayed when parts of the plot are selected.

ODS GRAPHICS / IMAGEMAP;

specifies how observations are weighted. Each observation is weighted by the value of the specified numeric variable.
