proc sgplot changing the histogram pattern

sasphd — Thu, 28 Nov 2013 14:18:05 GMT

Hello,

I am creating two histograms in the same plot using this program:

sgplot data=alphas;
histogram alpha / transparency=0.75 fillattrs=(color=red);

histogram alpha_etoile / transparency=0.75 fillattrs=(color=blue);

yaxis label="Percent";

xaxis label="Alpha (%)";

run;

To differenciate the two histograms I want to use hatched area not colors, can someone help me?

Thanks.

Thanks for your response.

When I copy that in sas 9.3 the word "Style" appears in red color and the result is not like suggested, there is no hatched area.

I guess that SAS do not consider proc Template.

proc template; define style mypatterns; parent=styles.listing; /* The GraphBar element must be included with the FILLPATTERN option in order to use fill patterns. */ style GraphBar from GraphComponent / displayopts = "fillpattern"; /* Fill patterns are defined using the FILLPATTERN style element attribute. COLOR is used for the bar fill colors CONTRASTCOLOR is used for the line colors */ style GraphData1 from GraphData1 / fillpattern = "L3" color=cxDADAEB contrastcolor=cx252525; style GraphData2 from GraphData2 / fillpattern = "R3" color=cxBCBDDC contrastcolor=cx636363; style GraphData3 from GraphData3 / fillpattern = "X5" color=cx9E9AC8 contrastcolor=cxCCCCCC; style GraphData4 from GraphData4 / fillpattern = "L5" color=cx756BB1 contrastcolor=cxBDBDBD; style GraphData5 from GraphData5 / fillpattern = "X2" color=cx6A51A3 contrastcolor=grayaa; end; run; ods listing style=mypatterns; title 'Using fill patterns with a bar chart'; data sample; input mid $ value; datalines; A 10 B 20 C 25 D 15 E 25 ; run; proc sgplot data=sample noautolegend; vbar mid / response=value group=mid groupdisplay=cluster grouporder=data dataskin=crisp; run;

I've moved this thread from the JMP Discussion Forum to the SAS/GRAPH and ODS Graphics community.

It works

but you were in mistake using a listing destination that have by definition no style outside ods graphics!

your template were gone in your sasuser template depot

Andre

ods html style=Mypatterns;
proc sgplot data=sample noautolegend;
vbar mid / response=value group=mid groupdisplay=cluster
grouporder=data dataskin=crisp;
run;

Thanks it works for the Vbar. But when I use it for histogram it does not work??

ods html style=Mypatterns;

procsgplot data=sample noautolegend

histogram value ;

run;

Bar Charts support fill patterns, but Histograms do not. Fill patterns for Histograms has been added at SAS 9.4.M1 to be released soon.

How do you specify a fill pattern for 9.4 histogram?
