The NETDRAW Procedure |
This example demonstrates the use of PROC NETDRAW for a nonstandard application. The procedure is used to draw a time table for a class of students. The days of the week are treated as different zones, and the times within a day are treated as different values of an alignment variable. The following DATA step defines a total of twenty activities, `m1', ...,`f5' , which in fact refer to the five different periods for the five different days of the week. The variable class contains the name of the subject taught in the corresponding period and day. Note that the periods are taught during the hours 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6; the fourth hour is set aside for lunch. The time axis is labelled with the format CLASSTIM, which is defined using PROC FORMAT. The USEFORMAT option in the ACTNET statement instructs PROC NETDRAW to use the explicit format specified for the time variable rather than the default format.
This example also illustrates the use of the Annotate facility with PROC NETDRAW. The data set ANNO labels the fourth period `LUNCH'. The positions for the text are specified using data coordinates that refer to the (_X_, _Y_) grid used by PROC NETDRAW. Thus, for example X = `4' identifies the X coordinate for the annotated text to be the fourth period, and the Y coordinates are set appropriately. The resulting time table is shown in Output 5.16.1.
