Line thickness in legend

Miracle — Mon, 26 Oct 2020 16:31:31 GMT

Dear All,
Can I please ask how do we increase the line thickness in legend?
And how do we add a black thin border around the bars and as well as to the legend entries?

Thanks a lot.

Proc sgplot data=final;
vbar vara / group=xvar response=percent seglabel seglabelformat=f6.2 
grouporder=data ;

keylegend /* "0" "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6" "7" "8"*/ / 
title=" " across=2 down=3 scale=2 valueattrs=(size=8) fillheight=10 noborder type=line  ;

xaxis label=" " values=(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) 
valuesdisplay=("1st (&c1.)" "2nd (&c2.)" "3rd (&c3.)" "4th (&c4.)"  "5th (&c5.)"  
"6th (&c6.)" "7th (&c7.)"  "8th (&c8.)" "9th (&c9.)" "10th(&c10.)") 
valueattrs=(size=7pt); 

yaxis label=" " values = (0 to 100 by 10) valuesdisplay=("0%" "10%" "20%" "30%" "40%" "50%" "60%" "70%" "80%" "90%" "100%");
run;

What version of SAS are you in?

@Miracle If you use GTL, you can use the legenditem statement to increase the line thickness of the legend. For example:

legenditem type=markerline name="placebo" / lineattrs=(color=bib pattern=1 thickness=5) label="Placebo";

If you upload the final dataset or a sample dataset, I can show you an example.

Thanks,

Hi @djrisks .
Thanks for your reply.
Yes I tried keylegend.

In SAS 9.4M5, PROC SGPLOT supports the LEGENDITEM statement. See the section "Customize items in a legend" in the article "5 tips for customizing legends in PROC SGPLOT in SAS"

Hi @Miracle, please look at the LEGENDITEM statement, instead of KEYLEGEND.

Many thanks,

Ops, my apologies.
i was meant to say legenditem not keylegend.
Yes, I have used both legenditem and keylegend together.
Thank you all for your response @PeterClemmensen @djrisks @Rick_SAS
