How to do multiple refline with varied colors by flag?!

hellohere — Mon, 06 Oct 2025 03:52:47 GMT

I have a time-series dataset[time=i; Y=tsvar], attached.

I need have multiple reference at column=refind,

AND if refcolor=max, color=lime, if refcolor=min, color=blue.

Thanks,

Please post the code you use for your graph.

proc sgplot data=_test dattrmap=mymap; series x=i y=tsvar /lineattrs=(color=red thickness=2 pattern=solid); refline refind/axis=x lineattrs=(thickness=2 pattern=solid); run;quit; Wanted: the refline for max and min shows up with diff color. Here only one color.

I think we need to see the code that creates data set MYMAP. Please post code in the proper code box (it has the little running man icon) as you did in earlier threads.

libname x v9 'C:\Users\xiakeshan\Documents\Downloads';

data have;
 set x._test;
 if refcolor='max' then max=refind;
 if refcolor='min' then min=refind;
run;
proc sgplot data=have ; *dattrmap=mymap; 
series x=i y=tsvar /lineattrs=(color=red thickness=2 pattern=solid); 
refline max/axis=x lineattrs=(thickness=2 pattern=solid color=lime) ; 
refline min/axis=x lineattrs=(thickness=2 pattern=solid color=blue) ; 
run;
