The VALUE= (or V=) option specifies the plotting symbol that represents each data point. Possible values for the VALUE= option include

• the letters A through W
• the numbers 0 through 9
• a number of special symbols including PLUS, STAR, SQUARE, DIAMOND, TRIANGLE, and many others
• NONE, which produces a plot with no symbols for data points.

For a complete list of plotting symbol values, see SAS/GRAPH Software: Reference.

In the PROC GPLOT step below, the SYMBOL1 statement specifies the SQUARE plotting symbol.

     symbol1 value=square color=black; 
     proc gplot data=clinic.totals2000;
        plot newadmit*month; 
     run;
