PROC SGPLOT color between 2 reference lines

PamG — Wed, 21 Feb 2024 02:35:36 GMT

I would like to add a vertical color band between 2 reference lines. A code is attached below. Basically I would like the area between X=40 and X=50 to be shaded with some transparency. I tried REFLINE but there doesn't seem to be an option to color the area between them.


proc sgplot data=sashelp.Heart;
   Scatter X=AgeAtstart Y=Cholesterol;
   refline 40 50 / axis=x lineattrs=(thickness=3 color=darkred pattern=dash)
                     label=("Borderline"  "High"); 
run;

proc sgplot data= sashelp.Heart;
   band y=Cholesterol lower=40 upper=50/transparency=0.6;

   Scatter X=AgeAtstart Y=Cholesterol;
   refline 40 50 / axis=x lineattrs=(thickness=3 color=darkred pattern=dash)
                     label=("Borderline"  "High"); 
run;

As KSharp shows, use the BLOCK statement. In addition to the example he provides, see Highlight forecast regions in graphs - The DO Loop (sas.com)
