+### NOTES: ###################################################################
+
+* Default value of the `title` option is:
+  `%nrstr(title1 JUSTIFY=C "Rain Cloud plot for &list_g. by "  %unquote(&xLabel.);)`
+  Use the `%str()` or `%nrstr()` macro-function to handle special characters.
+  The `%unquote()` is used when resolving the parameter.
+
+* Default value of the `footnote` option is:
+  `%nrstr(footnote1 JUSTIFY=L COLOR=lightGray HEIGHT=1 "by RainCloudPlot macro from the BasePlus package";)`
+  Use the `%str()` or `%nrstr()` macro-function to handle special characters.
+  The `%unquote()` is used when resolving the parameter.
+
+* The `catLabels` and `xLabels` should be quoted comma separated lists enclosed with brackets, 
+  e.g. `catLabels=("Continent of Origin", "Car Type")`, see Example below.
+
+* Kernel density estimates and basic statistics are calculated with `PROC UNIVARIATE`.
+
+* Plot is generated by `PROC SGPLOT` with `BAND`, `SCATTE`, and `POLYGON` plots.
+
+* After execution the ODS graphics dimension parameters are set to `800px` by `600px`.
+
+* SAS notes (`NOTE:`) are disabled for the execution time.
+
+* List of predefined colours is:

+
+### BOX-AND-WHISKERS PLOT: ###################################################################
+
+The box-and-whiskers plot has the following interpretation: 
+- left vertical bar indicates the minimum,
+- left whisker line starts at `max(Q1 - 1.5IQR, minimum)` and ends at lower quartile (Q1),
+- diamond indicates mean,
+- vertical bar inside of the box indicates median,
+- right whisker line starts at upper quartile (Q3) and ends at `min(Q3 + 1.5IQR, maximum)`,
+- right vertical bar indicates the maximum.
+
+With above setup it may happen that 
+there is a gap between the minimum marker and the beginning of the left whisker 
+or 
+there is a gap between the end of the right whisker and the maximum marker. 
+See examples below.

+## >>> `%LDSN()` macro: <<< <a name="ldsn-macro"></a> #######################  
+
+The LDSN (Long DataSet Names) macro function 
+allows to use an "arbitrary" text string to name a dataset.
+
+---
+
+The idea for the macro came from the following story: 
+
+Good friend of mine, who didn't use SAS for quite some time, 
+told me that he lost a few hours for debugging because 
+he forgot that the SAS dataset name limitation is 32 bytes.
+ 
+I replied that it shouldn't be a problem to do a workaround 
+for this inconvenience with a macro and the `MD5()` hashing function. 
+
+I said: *The macro should take an "arbitrary string" for a dataset 
+name, convert it, with help of `MD5()`, to a hash digest, and 
+create a dataset with an "artificial" `hex16.` formated name.*
+
+Starting with something like this:
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sas
+data %LDSN(work. peanut butter & jelly with a hot-dog in [a box] and s*t*a*r*s (drop = sex rename=(name=first_name) where = (age in (12,13,14))) );
+  set sashelp.class;
+run;
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+the macro would do:
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sas
+%sysfunc(MD5(peanut butter & jelly with a hot-dog in [a box] and s*t*a*r*s), hex16.)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+and (under the hood) return and execute the following code: 
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sas
+data work.DSN_41D599EF51FBA58_(drop = sex rename=(name=first_name) where = (age in (12,13,14))) ;
+  set sashelp.class;
+run;
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Also in the next data step user should be able to do:
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sas
+data my_next_data_step;
+  set %DSN(work. peanut butter & jelly with a hot-dog in [a box] and s*t*a*r*s);
+run;
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+and work without the "dataset-name-length-limitation" issue.
+
+---
+
+See examples below for the details.
+
+The `%LDSN()` macro executes like a pure macro code.
+
+**Known "Limitations":**
+
+- dataset name _cannot_ contain dots (`.`) since they are used as separators!
+
+- dataset name _cannot_ contain round brackets(`(` and `)`) since they are used as separators
+  (but `[]` and `{}` are allowed)!
+
+- dataset name _cannot_ contain unpaired quotes (`'` and `"`), 
+  text: `a "hot-dog"` is ok, but `John's dog` is not!
+
+**Behaviour:**
+
+- dataset name text is *converted to upcase*
+
+- dataset name text *leading and trailing spaces are ignored*, 
+  e.g. the following will give the same hash digest:
+  `%ldsn(work.test)`, `%ldsn( work.test)`, `%ldsn(work.test )`,
+  `%ldsn(work .test)`, `%ldsn(work. test)`, `%ldsn(work . test)`.
+
+- if the user want to add an extra suffix to the dataset the `%ldsn()` macro
+  **has** to be wrapped inside the `%unquote()` macro function.
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sas
+data 
+  %unquote(%LDSN(WORK.some strange! DS name))_1
+  %unquote(%LDSN(WORK.some strange! DS name))_2
+;
+  set sashelp.class;
+
+  if SEX="M" then output %unquote(%LDSN(WORK.some strange! DS name))_1;
+             else output %unquote(%LDSN(WORK.some strange! DS name))_2;
+run;
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+  The reason for this is a "bug" like behaviour of SAS tokenizer/macroprocesor.
+  See the following SAS-L discussion thread:
+  `https://listserv.uga.edu/scripts/wa-UGA.exe?A2=SAS-L;4b2bcf80.2205A&S=`
+
+- macro calls of the form:
+  `data %LDSN(); run;`, `data %LDSN(    ); run;`, `data %LDSN( . ); run;` or even
+  `data %LDSN( . (keep=x)); run;` are resolved to empty string, so the result is
+  equivalent to `data; run;`

+## >>> `%LVarNmLab()` macro: <<< <a name="lvarnmlab-macro"></a> #######################  
+
+The LVarNmLab() macro function supports LVarNm() and allows to remember "user names" in labels.
+
+The motivation for the macro was similar one as for the LDSN() macro. 
+
+---
+
+See examples in LVarNm() documentation for the details.
+
+The `%LVarNmLab()` macro executes like a pure macro code.
+
+**Known "Limitations":**
+
+- variable name _cannot_ contain unpaired quotes (`'` and `"`), 
+  text: `a "hot-dog"` is ok, but `John's dog` is not!
+
+**Behaviour:**
+
+- variable name text is *converted to upcase*
+
+- variable name text *leading and trailing spaces are ignored*, 
+  e.g. the following will give the same hash digest:
+  `%LVarNmLab(test)`, `%LVarNmLab( test)`, `%LVarNmLab(test )`.

+# The GSM package [ver. 0.20] <a name="gsm-package"></a> ###############################################
+
+The **GSM** (a.k.a. *Generate Secure Macros*) package allows
+to create secured macros stored in SAS Proc FCMP functions.
+The dataset with functions can be shared and allows to generate 
+macros without showing their code.
+
+The GSM package is basically an automated version of the following:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sas
+proc fcmp outlib = work.gsm.secure ENCRYPT;
+  function generateMacro() $;
+    rc = RESOLVE('
+      %macro secretMacro(x) / SECURE;
+        data test;
+         a = "&x.";
+        run;
+      %mend;
+    ');
+    return (rc);
+  endsub;
+run;
+
+/* share work.gsm dataset */
+options cmplib = work.gsm;
+data _null_;
+  rc = generateMacro();
+  put rc=;
+run;
+
+/* enjoy */
+%secretMacro(42)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+See examples for more details.
+
+Recording of presentation with "how it works" description, in Polish, is avaliable [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtaWPe2sgRY&t=1s).
+
+*How to use it:* 
+ - Copy all files with your secured macros code into a directory. 
+   Best approach is to have one file for one macro.
+ - Copy a path to the directory.
+ - Run the following code:
+   ```
+   %GSM(<the path to directory>, cmplib=<name of the dataset>)
+   ```
+ - Share generated `ZIP` file (unzip and run the code).
+ 
+**Limitations:** 
+ - Single macro file cannot be longer than 32760 bytes.
+ 
+ - Multiline text variable. Consider the following code text file:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+%macro~test()/SECURE;~#@
+data~test;~#@
+a~=~"abc~#@
+~#@
+def";~#@
+put~a~hex20.;~#@
+run;~#@
+%mend~test;~#@
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+where `~` symbols the space character, 
+`#` symbols the carriage return (`0D`), 
+and `@` symbols the line feed (`0A`).
+The code file is scanned and inserted into 
+the `resolve()` function argument in a "byte by byte"
+fashion hence also the "end of line" characters are included.
+As the result value of variable `a` will be: 
+
+`a = "abc~#@~#@def"`. 
+
+If you want to use the `GSM` package avoid 
+such "style" of coding in your macros.

+
+The `%GSM()` macro is the main macro of 
+the **GSM** (a.k.a. *Generate Secure Macros*) package. 
+
+It converts a list of macros provided by the user into
+a data set of the Proc FCMP functions. The macros are stored
+in functions are encrypted which allow to share them without 
+showing their code. *Important* thing is that macros provided 
+by the user *has* to be "secure", i.e. the `secure` option has to 
+be added to the macro definition. See the example:
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sas
+%macro secretMacro(x) / SECURE; /* <- the secure option */
+  <... some code ...>
+%mend secretMacro;
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+
+As a result a zip file, containing dataset with functions and 
+code to be executed on site, is generated.
+
+Since encrypted code is stored in a SAS dataset it has
+no limitation in sharing between operating systems (like catalogs have).
+
+*Limitation:* Due to the `Resolve()` function limitations 
+ a single macro file cannot be longer than 32760 bytes.
+
+*Notes:* 
+- All macros have to have the `secure` option added, i.e. `%macro aMacroname(...) / SECURE ;`.
+- During the execution a test macro, named `%GSMpck_dummyMacroForTests()`, is generated.
+- The `%GSM()` macro calls the `%GSMpck_makeFCMPcode(...)` macro internally.

+              Allowed values are:
+                - `ADD`, adds key and data portion to the macro dictionary,
+                   *multiple data portions* are NOT available for one key.
+                - `FIND`, tests if given key exists in the macro dictionary
+                   and, if yes, returns data value associated with the key.
+                   For multiple data portions see the `data=` parameter.
+                - `CHECK`, returns indicator if the key exists in dictionary.
+                - `DEL`, removes key and data portion from the macro dictionary.
+                - `LIST`, prints out a dictionary to the log. 
+                - `CLEAR` removes all data and keys values.
+
+* `KEY=`    - *Optional*, provides key value for `ADD`, `FIND`, `CHECK`
+              and `DEL` methods. 
+              Leading and trimming spaces are removed from the value.
+              The `MD5(...)` function is used to generate the hash.
+              Default value is `_`.
+
+* `DATA=`   - *Optional*, provides data value for the `ADD` method. 
+              Default value is blank.
+
+
+When macro is executed and when data are added the following types of 
+*global* macrovariables are created:
+- `&H._########_K`,
+- `&H._########_V`,
+- `&H._KEYSNUM`.
+
+The `#` represents value generated by the `MD5(...)` function for the given key.
+
+The first type keeps information about the key.
+
+The second type keeps information about the value of a given key
+
+The third type keeps the number of unique values of the key.
+
+See examples below to see use cases.
