Boxplot with pattern

[Muandre]

Hey,

I want to use FILLPATTERN in my boxplot, but I do not find the right syntax, I do not know how to use fillpattern or fillpatternattrs in proc template.

proc template;

define statgraph ohne_bahnen_abschlackbandV1;

dynamic _varY _varX _bygr;

begingraph

;

layout lattice / rowdatarange=data columndatarange=data;

layout overlay / xaxisopts=( griddisplay=off discreteopts=( tickvaluefitpolicy=splitrotate))

;

boxplot x=_varX

y=_varY

/ group=_bygr

name='box' boxwidth=0.85 display=(CAPS FILL MEDIAN outliers)

groupdisplay=Cluster clusterwidth=0.85 grouporder=ascending

;

endlayout;

sidebar / align=bottom spacefill=false;

discretelegend 'box' / opaque=true border=true halign=center valign=center displayclipped=true order=rowmajor;

endsidebar;

endlayout;

endgraph;

end;

run;

proc sgrender data=sashelp.class template=ohne_bahnen_abschlackbandV1;

dynamic _varY="weight" _bygr="sex" _varX="age";

run;

Thanks for your help!

You need to specify FILLPATTERN in the DISPLAY=(...) list. If you want a pattern that is different from the default, use the FILLPATTERNATTRS= option. For example, try this:

boxplot x=_varX y=_varY

/ group=_bygr fillpatternattrs=(pattern=L1)

name='box' boxwidth=0.85 display=(CAPS FILL FILLPATTERN MEDIAN outliers)

groupdisplay=Cluster clusterwidth=0.85 grouporder=ascending

;

Thanks for your answer, but my code doesen't work, there is a syntax error:

proc template;
 define statgraph TEST1;
  dynamic _varY _varX _bygr;
  begingraph

  ;
   layout lattice / rowdatarange=data columndatarange=data;
    layout overlay / xaxisopts=( griddisplay=off discreteopts=( tickvaluefitpolicy=splitrotate))

    ;
     boxplot x=_varX y=_varY

      / group=_bygr fillpatternattrs=(pattern=L1)

      name='box' boxwidth=0.85 display=(CAPS FILL FILLPATTERN MEDIAN outliers)

      groupdisplay=Cluster clusterwidth=0.85 grouporder=ascending

     ;
    endlayout;
    sidebar / align=bottom spacefill=false;
     discretelegend 'box' / opaque=true border=true halign=center valign=center displayclipped=true order=rowmajor;
    endsidebar;
   endlayout;
  endgraph;
 end;
run;

proc sgrender data=sashelp.class template=TEST1;
 dynamic _varY="weight" _bygr="sex" _varX="age";
run;

1. Always post the portion of the log that contains the error.

2. Your code is correct and works at SAS 9.4M5.

3. As stated in the documentation, PATTERNATTRS= and DISPLAY=(FILLPATTERN) are 9.4M5 features. If you are running an earlier version of SAS, these options are not available.
