SGPLOT kernel density plot... Maximum number of colours / line styles?

Sam_R — Wed, 07 Nov 2018 17:12:44 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to a sgplot in SAS9.4 which overlays 16 different kernel densities. Although all kernels are plotted, once it gets beyond 10 colours/line types the lines are all drawn with the same properties. Does anyone know if there is a maximum number of attributes for overlaid kernels? Code below if that helps.

Thank you in advance!

proc sgplot data=graph;
%do q=1 %to &n;
%if &&count&q >0 %then %do;
density &&type.&q / type=kernel name="&q" legendlabel="&&class&q (n=&&count&q)";
%end;
%end;
keylegend / location=outside position=bottom";
refline 0 / axis=x label="No Change" labelloc=inside labelpos=min lineattrs=(color=black pattern=ShortDash);
xaxis label="&typelabel &paramlabel";
yaxis label='Density';
run;

Try setting the CYCLEATTRS option on the SGPLOT statement and see if you get better attribute variations:

proc sgplot data=graph cycleattrs;

Hope this helps!
