Changing color for histogram PROC univariate

398740 — Sat, 16 Oct 2021 16:42:45 GMT

I am creating a comparative histograms using the following code. Is there a way to change the color of the histogram bins in this code?

proc univariate data = test;
CLASS group;
VAR score;
HISTOGRAM score / midpoints= -11 to 16 by 4;
run;

You don't have a ton of options within PROC UNIVARIATE to change the colour. You can change your theme which will change the colour, or you can use SGPLOT and the HISTOGRAM statement there.

You may need to play around a bit to get the bins set up correctly again.

proc SGPLOT data=test;
histogram score / fillattrs=(color=green) binstart=-11 binwidth=4;
run;

I'd switch to PROC SGPANEL for making the graph. Here is an example :

proc sgpanel data = sashelp.cars;
   panelby origin / layout=rowlattice;
   histogram MPG_City / fillattrs=(color=lightyellow);
run;
