And the question is???

Re: Line width doubling or increasing

Manvel — Tue, 23 May 2023 15:37:35 GMT

Is there a way to increase the width for lines and keep their style, I have multiple lines and used "lineattrs = (thickness=2px)" and it works only for first line. Is there another way to increase the line size?

Is this a grouped SERIES plot, or multiple SERIES statements?

Re: Line width doubling or increasing

It is grouped series plot

Provide a working example. Either share some simple data or use one of the SASHELP datasets to demonstrate what you are doing.

Without seeing your code, let me make a few suggestions:

Simply setting the line thickness in LINEATTRS is enough to make all grouped lines the same size. If you are losing the line patterns, remove the PATTERN=solid and set ATTRPRIORITY=NONE on the ODS GRAPHICS statement. My guess it that you are using a color-priority style (such as HTMLBLUE).
If you need the thickness to vary per value in another variable, you can use the THICKRESP=<variable> option on the SERIES plot to vary the thicknesses of you grouped lines.

Hope this helps!

  xaxis min=1 max=2 values=(1 to 2 by 1) valueattrs=(size=10) valuesdisplay=('Baseline' 'Week X') valueshint label="Visit" labelattrs=(size=10);  

run;

This is a code example which works in my end and it is getting me this result(picture below), If I will add "pattern=solid" it will remove all line attribute and type. Error bars worked correctly.

Example provided below

You might consider showing the code with the "pattern=solid". There a different places that could be used and results would vary.

Title7 justify=left "#BYVAL4";
series X=X_ Y=cMean / group = TRT01A markers groupdisplay=cluster /*overlay*/ clusterwidth=0.15 name="T10" lineattrs=(thickness=2px pattern=solid); *there used pattern solid;
scatter X=X_ Y=cMean / group = TRT01A yerrorlower=Lower yerrorupper=Upper groupdisplay=cluster /*overlay */ clusterwidth=0.15 markerattrs=(size=11px) errorbarattrs=(thickness=2px);

xaxis min=1 max=2 values=(1 to 2 by 1) valueattrs=(size=10) valuesdisplay=('Baseline' 'Week X') valueshint label="Visit" labelattrs=(size=10);

run;

I tried to put line attributes manually for example half of them solid and other dash and only solid works(that one I tried when I didn’t have “”patterns=solid”

Just to have a data point, please try the code below and tell me if you see the correct thicknesses:

data test;
do g=1 to 5;
   x=0;
   y=0;
   output;
   x=ranuni(123);
   y=ranuni(321);
   output;
end;
run;

ods graphics / attrpriority=none;
proc sgplot data=test;
series x=x y=y / group=g lineattrs=(thickness=2px);
run;

Yep man it is correct and lines size is changing for all of them.

DanH_sas — Wed, 24 May 2023 16:39:31 GMT

Is this PNG or SVG output? What is the output type? HTML? PDF?

Re: Line width doubling or increasing

Manvel — Wed, 24 May 2023 17:12:39 GMT

In my end it is RTF and I need to have that and not changing STYLE part

Re: Line width doubling or increasing

DanH_sas — Wed, 24 May 2023 17:18:08 GMT

If you are using ODS RTF, the default output type is EMF. Let's take EMF out of equation. Add this statement before your PROC SGPLOT run;

ODS GRAPHICS / outputfmt=png;

Let me know if that works better.

Man you are a hero thanks thanks thanks a lot I tried a lot of ways but nothing, you are the best.

Re: Line width doubling or increasing

DanH_sas — Wed, 24 May 2023 17:22:06 GMT

As a matter of practice, you might want to change:

ods rtf close;

to be:

ods _all_ close;

so that when &OUT. changes, you are guaranteed to close the destination.
