Grouping in sgplot : Assign 2 different colors in markerattrs ?

Semsem — Mon, 07 Aug 2017 16:19:33 GMT

Hello SasCommunity, I need your help.

I have 3 columns Coco1, Coco2 and alert. alert is just composed by 0 or 1. I managed to plot Coco1 vs Coco2 by grouping them regarding if alert = 0 or 1 but when I tried to assign the black color for the ones with alert = 0 and the red color for the ones with alert = 1, it doesn't work anymore (all circles are in black).

I tried "styleattrs" or "datacolors = (red black)" next to "data=affichage" but nothing worked.

Here's my code :

proc sgplot data=Affichage;
/*  styleattrs datacolors=(black red) datasymbols=(circlefilled);*/

 scatter x=EC_rate y=NI_rate/ group=alert markerattrs=(color=black symbol=circlefilled); ;

 lineparm x=0 y=0 slope=1/ lineattrs=(color=green) curvelabel="100%";
 lineparm x=0 y=0 slope=.5/ lineattrs=(color=red) curvelabel="50%";
 lineparm x=0 y=0 slope=.25/ lineattrs=(color=blue) curvelabel="25%";
 title "Zoom coco";
 xaxis grid min=0;
 yaxis grid;
run;

Can someone help me please? Thanks in advance

Use an attributes map:

data attrmap;
retain id "myid";
length markercolor $ 5;
input value $ markercolor $;
cards;
0 red
1 black
;
run;

proc sgplot data=Affichage dattrmap=attrmap;
/*  styleattrs datacolors=(black red) datasymbols=(circlefilled);*/

 scatter x=EC_rate y=NI_rate/ group=alert markerattrs=(color=black symbol=circlefilled) attrid=myid;

 lineparm x=0 y=0 slope=1/ lineattrs=(color=green) curvelabel="100%";
 lineparm x=0 y=0 slope=.5/ lineattrs=(color=red) curvelabel="50%";
 lineparm x=0 y=0 slope=.25/ lineattrs=(color=blue) curvelabel="25%";
 title "Zoom coco";
 xaxis grid min=0;
 yaxis grid;
run;

Take a look at this post for more details.

Hope this helps!

When you have a group variable that has 2 values, the colors come from the Styles's GraphData1-12 color list. The first group gets GraphData1 (usually blue) and the second will get GraphData2 (often Red). The colors are based on the style. Now, if you set the color to black in the syntax, these group colors are overridden by the single color you set.

If you want certain specific group colors based on group value, you can use the DiscreteAttrMap code suggested by Dan. If you just want two different colors, not specifically based on value, set STYLEATTRS statement with Datacolors=(red black).

Thank you very much for the code. Sorry for the late answer, I tried the code but I get the error :

ERROR 22-322: Expecting a name.

ERROR 200-322: The symbol is not recognized and will be ignored.

Apparently it's because of : attrid="myid"

Do you have an idea about what is the problem?

Thanks in advance

Edit : ok, just in case for someone else, just replace attrid="myid" by attrid=myid

Thank you everyone

Lose the quotes around myid.
