I'm using GTL code to make survival plots with a stepplot statement and the group = option to specify the different strata.

I was wondering how to go about and change the plot line colors manually rather than use the default colors. Can I do that in the GTL code directly?

The best choice for you is to use an attributes map. It gives you the ability to assign visual attributes to group values, regardless of data order. Check out these two blog posts for some examples:

Thanks Dan.

I'm also looking at modify the style templates as well, specifically the GraphData1...GraphData attributes.

The data attributes map are probably the better long term solution though.
