what's wrong with my settings?

TomiKong — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 08:13:52 GMT

I don't know what's wrong with my codes below. The color of y6 symbol in the legend is annoyingly the same with y1, which suffered me a lot.. It should be orange!!!!! How this happens? Anyone can help me out? Thanks.

data mydata;

do i=1 to 10;

x=i;

y1=i*2;

y2=i*3;

y3=i*4;

y4=i*5;

y5=i*6;

y6=i*100;

output;

end;

drop i;

run;

When running your code in my Win7 64bit SAS92 TS Level 2M3 environment I'm getting an orange line.

SAS/Graph is a world on its own (and not really mine). The only thing I can think of is that may be someone stuffed up the color table.

If this is true then using a RGB value should overcome the problem:

symbol6 v=none INTERPOL=join c='CXFF8000' width=5;

Are you getting the orange symbol on in the legend?

I'm getting the orange line on the plot,but in the legend on the top, the symbol of y6 is annoyingly the same as y1.

I tried to use the RGB as you suggested, but the symbol of y6 on in the legend was still blue.

I uploaded the fig. Thanks.

One possibility is that your origin statement for legend2 doesn't have the proper allignment. The following worked for me:

LEGEND2 mode=protect LABEL=(HEIGHT=5 '')

value=(f='arial/bo' h=4)

position=(top center outside) origin=(28.7 84)pct

order=("y6") FWIDTH=40 mode=share;

It's too weird..............

I tried the codes on three computers.............It still did not work.

The color of y6 on the plots is correct (orange), but the color of y6 in the legend is still blue...........................

I'm almost mad.................

Yes............I found where the problem is

plot2 y6*x=6 /overlay frame legend=legend2 vaxis=axis3;

Thanks all!!!!!
