sgplot: 2 series with group, how to control markers and linestyple

sueshaw — Fri, 28 Feb 2020 20:22:21 GMT

proc gplot is easy to have plot and plot2 to create two y axes

I am using 9.3.

switch to use sgplot. 2 series used different color and symbols... can you force to use same color and symbols ?

I tried goptions colors=(...) and not help.

this is what I have

proc sgplot data=stat ;
series y=iron x=atptn /group=trt name='iron' lineattrs=(pattern=solid) markers ;
series y=fer x=atptn /y2axis group=trt name='fer' lineattrs=(pattern=dash) markers;
xaxis label='Hour';
yaxis label='Mean Y Concentration (µg/mL)';
y2axis label='Mean Y2 Concentration (ng/mL)';
keylegend 'iron' /title='Dose' noborder ;
run;

Which exact version of 9.3 are you using? You can check with the following code:

proc product_status;run;

There are several methods of doing this, I prefer data attribute maps because it's pretty straightforward and dynamic but there's also a STYLEATTRS statement that allows you to control the symbols/shapes/colours etc.

GOPTIONS do not apply to SG graphics.

thank you so much.

for sas/graph, 9.3_M2

log file: SAS (r) Proprietary Software 9.3 (TS1M2)

I tried and got this msg, ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.

maybe this option is not available on my version

proc sgplot data=stat ;
styleattrs datacolors=(red black blue green purple)
datasymbols=(circle square diamond triangle dot);
series y=iron x=atptn /group=trt name='iron' lineattrs=(pattern=solid) markers ;
series y=fer x=atptn /y2axis group=trt name='fer' lineattrs=(pattern=dash) markers;

It looks like STYLEATTRS is not available for 9.3 M2, but it does look like data attribute maps are supported so that's good news.

Here's an example of how to specify your different options.

http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/grstatproc/65235/HTML/default/viewer.htm#n1sgstxp3pedkxn1tewmmgxccrqh.htm

Here's the full documentation on attribute maps so you can specify exactly what you want.

Hope that helps!

Dear Reeza:

I did not get any error msgs, but the output has no impact on the new attribute.

thanks for your help.

Show your code and output then.

in creating an example for you, I found out dattrmap solved the problem.

previously, I had a format for group variable...

once I remove format statement, and use raw data in attrmap and group, it worked.

this is great.... thank you...

another quick question... any ways to specify same symbol ?

Same idea, add another column with the appropriate name and values and it will ensure the symbols are consistent.

I did not find document about symbol in SG attribute

I added a column of markersymbol to dataset attrmap,

got error msg

ERROR 772-580: Syntax error: expecting a constant or a dynamic.

I will accept with the solution to specify the color for now.

thank you for all of your help

Do a PROC PRINT of your attrmap data set. You would get that error if the marker symbol name is invalid (misspelled or truncated).

this is amazing.

I need to increase length for markersymbol.

I also added markercolor.

now. the outcome is exactly what I am looking for.

I have attached the output fyi.

thanks all for the help
