increase the line size in the keylegend.

Manj — Fri, 27 May 2022 18:12:01 GMT

I have the following plot where i need to increase the width of the line in legend. I have tried using LEGENDITEM and KEYLEGEND , but it gives error when i use LEGENDITEM. Is there a way to increase the line in the legend marked in the figure?

My code and the error below:

proc sgplot data=xxx dattrmap=myattr noautolegend;
scatter x=avisn y=aval_median / group=trt01a yerrorlower=aval_p5 yerrorupper=aval_p95 attrid=trt01a ;

Have you tried the LINELENGTH= option in the KEYLEGEND statement?

https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.5/grstatproc/p0xmbppzx71smbn1203aaif96z86.htm#n1qt8b9hqkqwekn1o92urvr1pce8

LINELENGTH adjusts the length of the line, Waht I need is the width of the line to be increased.

You would use options for KEYLEGEND of TITLEATTRS=(<options>) to set text size and appearance for the title text of the legend and VALUEATTRS=(<options>) to change the text size and appearance of the values.

Please when posting things related to errors copy the code and all the messages for the procedure or data step, then on the forum open a text box using the </> icon and paste all the text.

If the code is in a macro then set OPTIONS MPRINT; before executing the macro and copy and paste the text from the log (yes it will be a tad long).

One reason to ask for ALL the text is because the Error you have shown has nothing to do with either Keylegend or Legenditem but with a LABEL statement that you do not even show in your "code".

Hi,
i dont want to do anything with the text or values and hence Titleattrs and valueattrs doesnt apply, all i want is to increase the width of the line in the legend . The error shows about legenditem only, for better visibility, i have pasted the 'image' of the error message.

What version of SAS are you using (including maintenance version)?

Re: increase the line size in the keylegend.

Manj — Fri, 27 May 2022 18:23:35 GMT

SAS 9.4.
Below is what I see in the logs:

The LEGENDITEM statement was not introduced in the SG procedures until 9.4 (maintenance level 5), so that is why you are getting the error. However, it is available to you at the GTL level. You temporarily remove the LEGENDITEM option from your SGPLOT code and use TMPLOUT to generate the GTL code. Then, add the LEGENDITEM statement to the GTL code and use the SGRENDER procedure to render the template.

Let me know if you need any more details on how to do this.

Hope this helps!

Dan

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion, I have updated my code as below:
The below code error free outputs but have 3 warnings:

WARNING: The ScatterPlot statement named 'lgnd1' will not be drawn because one or more of the required arguments were not supplied.
WARNING: The SeriesPlot statement named 'lgnd2' will not be drawn because one or more of the required arguments were not supplied.
WARNING: A blank graph is produced. For possible causes, see the graphics template language documentation.

.When I try to give legend item , it gives the following error:

ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.

how can i update this with increased line width in the legend ?
