Setting GraphData Styles in Proc Template

Hi Community,

I've got a question concerning the Graphdata Option.

I want to create a graphical chart withvectorplots and scatterplots.

The vectorplotlines should have a different thickness for every group (I've got five).

I've created a style which should do this and if I'm changing the Linestyle option everything works fine for me, but it won't accept the linethickness and color attribute changes.

Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem? Code is attached below.

Thanks in advance!

Greetings,

T.K.

ODS GRAPHICS ON / IMAGEMAP=YES;

ODS HTML style=styles.vw;

proc template;

define style styles.vw;

parent=styles.default;

*class GraphDataDefault / linethickness=5px;

class Graphdata1 / Linestyle=2 linethickness=5px;

class Graphdata2 / Linestyle=1 linethickness=4px;

class Graphdata3 / Linestyle=1 linethickness=3px;

class Graphdata4 / Linestyle=1 linethickness=2px;

class Graphdata5 / Linestyle=1 linethickness=1px;

end;

define statgraph diagonal;

begingraph;

layout overlay / xaxisopts=(display=none) yaxisopts=(display=none);

vectorplot x=x1 y=y1 xorigin=x yorigin=y / arrowheads=FALSE GROUP=grouping index=grouping ROLENAME=(TIP1=capacity) TIP=(TIP1);

scatterplot x=x y=y / datalabel=regionid datalabelposition=TOP;

scatterplot x=x1 y=y1 / datalabel=toregionid datalabelposition=TOP;

endlayout;

endgraph;

end;

run;

proc sgrender data=vw.test template=diagonal;

run;

Line thickness and marker size are ignored for GRAPHDATA1 - N. This is because these style elements are used for groups that are supposed to be visually distinct, but also equal in weight. So, line color and pattern are supported, and marker symbol and color are supported.

The way to get different line thicknesses for each vector is to use 5 separate vector plots, one for each vector, and set their thicknesses individually in the plot statement LINEATTRS.
