DESCRIPTION
Display a group of vectors.
Vectors allow the display of up to 4 variables (x, y, direction,
and length).

ATTRIBUTES
Mandatory attributes are
xfield,
yfield, and
dirfield.
xfield
dfield
-
-
Data field holding the X location of vector starting point.
yfield
dfield
-
-
Data field holding the Y location of the vector starting point.
dirfield
dfield
-
-
Data field holding a representation of the direction.
By default this is degrees, where 0 is at the top, and rotating clockwise,
but other options are available, see dirunits, dirrange, zeroat, and clockdir.
lenfield
dfield
-
-
Data field holding a representation of the length.
By default this is in absolute units (inches or cm),
but other options are available, see lenunits and lenscale.
constantlen h
-
-
This attribute may be specified to cause all vectors to be h inches/cm.
Example: constantlen: 0.6
linedetails
line details
-
-
Controls the color, width, etc. of the line portion of the vector.
arrowheadlength h
-
-
Controls the length of the arrowhead, in inches/cm. Default is 0.15.
arrowheadwidth h
-
-
Controls the fatness of the arrowhead. Default is 0.4.
arrowheadcolor color
-
-
Controls the color of the arrowhead. By default this will be the
same as the line.
clip yes|no
-
-
Default is yes, which causes vectors to be clipped to the plotting area.
Use no to allow vectors to range past the plot area limits.
dirrange h
-
-
A range for the values in dirfield. For example, if dirrange is given
as 100, a value of 50 would be displayed at 180 degrees.
Example: dirrange: 12
dirunits degrees|radians
-
-
Default is degrees. If radians is specified,
dirfield is taken to be radians.
Example: dirunits: radians
zeroat top|right|bottom|right
-
-
Controls where a zero degree vector will point. Default is top.
clockdir +|-
-
-
Controls whether progressively higher directional values will
cause the vector to move clockwise (+) or counterclockwise (-).
Default is +.
lenunits absolute|data|x|y
-
-
Allows the contents of lenfield to be either absolute units (the default),
or data units.
lenscale h
-
-
h is a scaling factor; the contents of lenfield will be
multiplied by h. Default is 1.0.
colorfield
dfield
-
-
If specified, the color of the vector will be controlled using
the contents of this data field, using the
legend-driven technique
Example:
vector3
select
condex
-
-
Select certain records for plotting, based on a conditional expression.
legendlabel label
Set a legend label for this set of vectors. Legend must be displayed
later using proc legend.
