Modifying template to obtain

SantosCarvajal — Tue, 12 Mar 2019 18:40:44 GMT

Dear community,

I am trying to obtain Figure 1 (see attached document). However when I am using proc template Figure 2 is produced.

Please find below the code that I am using:

data means;
set means;
label mean = "Mean +/- SEM";
elower = mean - stderr;
eupper = mean + stderr;
run;

proc template;
   define statgraph mygraphs.meanover;
   begingraph;
     entrytitle "Mean Measurement Over Time" ;

discreteattrmap name='filling' / ignorecase=true;
value 'A' / markerattrs=(symbol=square color = black size = 12);

enddiscreteattrmap;
discreteattrvar attrvar=classmrk var=armcd attrmap='filling';

layout overlay;

       scatterplot x = rep y = mean / group = classmrk name = "treat" yerrorlower = elower yerrorupper = eupper;
     endlayout;
  endgraph;
end;
run;

proc sgrender data=means template=mygraphs.meanover;
run;

I tried to modify the color of the square BUT I did not find the way of filling the square with a color in order to be overlaid

on top of the mean and SEM bars.

Thank you in advance

Regards

Santos

Use the FILLEDOUTLINEDMARKERS=TRUE option on the SCATTERPLOT statement. You must use this option with a filled marker. You can then control the fill and outline independently. In your case, you have a grouped scatter where you just want to "fill the hole" with the wall color. Use the following options on the SCATTERPLOT statement.

filledoutlineedmarkers=true markerfillattrs=(color=GraphWalls:color)

and change the "square" to "squarefilled" in your attrmap.

Hope this helps!

Hi Dan,

Thank you very much. It works perfectly.

Next step: Using the proposed solution, I am going to mixed filled and cleared symbols in the same graphic using GTL.

Wish me luck
