SGPLOT colors

Nasser_DRMCP — Fri, 21 Jul 2017 09:50:52 GMT

Hello,

I would like to generate a graph by using proc sgplot. It works but the lines are all black. I would like to attibute differents colors for each group value. I don't know where (and how) I should specify colors

my code is

ODS RTF startpage = yes FILE = "&filename." style = journal ;

proc sgplot data = BEH_SUITE_INDIC ;

xaxis type=discrete;

series x = ANNEE_AMO_SUITE y = ratio / group = DUREE ;

xaxis display=(nolabel);

yaxis display=(nolabel);

run;

ODS RTF CLOSE ;

thanks a lot in advance for your help

First stop on any graph question is this blog:

It has code examples for any kind of graph you can think of with code examples. A quick search there shows hundreds of examples:

@RW9 provided good advice. Additionallly, replace journal (a black and white style) with something like Sapphire (a color style suitable for RTF). Also, check out the styles comparison section of this sas/stat chapter on ods graphics.

hI Warren

thanks for your respons. I put sapphire. Now my group lines are all blue. What I would like is to get one different color per group.

thanks

Group colors are definitely not all blue.

ods rtf style=sapphire image_dpi=300;
proc sgplot data=sashelp.iris;
 reg y=petalwidth x=petallength / group=species;
 run;
ods rtf close;

I would have to see something reproducible.
