DESCRIPTION

stack is a prefab for producing stacked bar graphs with one to four levels of stacking. The data must be organized such that all segments of a bar are in the same data row. Based on proc bars .


PARAMETERS

Standard prefab parameters are all supported except err. data, x and y are required. y values should be numeric and will determine the height of bars. x values determine bar locations; by default they are assumed to be categories, but thay can be continuous numeric values if xnumeric is specified.

name is a short description for the first level, for inclusion in a legend. If your data contains a field name header and header=yes is specified, name defaults to the y field name (new in 2.04).

y2, name2, color2 may be specified for a second level.

y3, name3, color3 may be specified for a third level.

y4, name4, color4 may be specified for a fourth level.

xnumeric may be specified as yes to signify that X values are numeric and not categories.

legend controls the location of the legend. Example: "legend=1 0.5"

reverseleg may be specified as yes to cause legend entries to be listed in reverse order. (new in 2.04)
