Ways to Shorten GGRAPH and GPL Code

Feinstein, Zachary
I wish to simply have two histograms built.  They do not need to be
combined in any way.  One for the first variable called pctups.  The
second for pctfed.

 

I tried declaring the GGRAPH statement once but that does not work.  Can
anyone suggest ways to bring the code down in size?

 

As well- I am going to double-click on the vertical percentage scale
after I run this to make it so they are both the same.  Can anyone offer
any suggestions of the code to automatically set it?

 

Thank you.

 

Zachary

Do you want two histograms within the same chart or two separate charts?

Re: Ways to Shorten GGRAPH and GPL Code

Feinstein, Zachary
Two separate charts, please.

Would not mind seeing the code for all in one too, if that is easily
available as well.

Thanks.

Re: Ways to Shorten GGRAPH and GPL Code

ViAnn Beadle
The code to produce to separate charts in one invocation of ggraph is much
longer and requires a lot more tweaking then two separate charts to produce
what you want. I don't recommend it. If you're looking for simple code, GPL
is not going to be the solution.

Here's an example that places the histograms side-by-side with a shared Y
axis so no tweaking is required to make them the same.

GGRAPH
  /GRAPHDATASET NAME="graphdataset" VARIABLES=salbegin salary
MISSING=LISTWISE
  REPORTMISSING=NO
  /GRAPHSPEC SOURCE=INLINE.
BEGIN GPL
 SOURCE: s=userSource(id("graphdataset"))
 DATA: salbegin=col(source(s), name("salbegin"))
 DATA: salary=col(source(s), name("salary"))
 GUIDE: axis(dim(2), label("Percentage"))
 ELEMENT:
interval(position(summary.percent.count(bin.rect(salbegin/"Beginning Salary"
+ salary/"Current Salary"))),
  shape.interior(shape.square))
END GPL.

This uses the employee data.sav sample file.
