The upper cell shows only the top ends of the data, so only the tallest bars show there.The lower cell only shows the data for the shorter bars.Use appropriate axis ranges (ViewMin / Viewmax) to set the data ranges.Use ColumnDataRange=Union to ensure all the x values are aligned.Use a Layout Lattice container with two stacked cells."Full Panel Breaks" have been recommended, and here is what that would look like using GTL:įor the above graph, I have used the following process using SAS 9.2 GTL: In this case, a break is inserted into the continuous range of the Y axis, and the break is indicated by icons on the graph. However, some feel this is OK in special cases when a users is specifically aware of the use of log axes.Īnother recommended way is to use a broken Y-Axis.Also, the choice of baseline intercept value is arbitrary. This also breaks the association between magnitude and length. So, I have to set the baseline to a value greater than zero. To apply a log transformation, the Y axis must have all positive values (> 0).Using a log transform breaks that association. For bar charts, the magnitudes are decoded by their linear association with the lengths of each bar.There are some problems here including the following: Here I have used a log base 2 axis, with a baseline of 0.5. Notwithstanding that, here is what this data would look like with a log Y-Axis.

I wrote an article on How to use log axes with ODS Graphics bar charts which generated many good comments. One option (frowned upon by many experts for Bar Chart) is to use a log Y axis. Peltier Tech Blog and Chandoo provide some examples and recommendations. There is plenty of discussion about this on the Web.
The large values for categories E and F take up most of the data range on the Y axis, making it harder to view the rest of the data. Here is an example data, and a bar chart showing the data. Comparison between the smaller values becomes hard as the small bars are squeezed by the tall bars. Often we want to display data as a bar chart where a few observations have large values compared to the rest.
