Hello everyone,

 

I would like to save my bar graphs to a pdf with gray and white colors. So I use this style:

 

 

proc template;
define style barcolors;
parent = styles.htmlblue; style GraphData1 from GraphData1 / color = white contrastcolor=black; style GraphData2 from GraphData2 / color = white contrastcolor=black; end;
run;
ods html style = barcolors;

 

Now, my sgplot code is:

options nodate nonumber;

ods pdf file=’bars.pdf’;

goptions device=pdf colors=(black) rotate=landscape;

title "........";

proc sgplot data = mydataset;

vbar variable1/group=categoricalVariable response=PercentVariable groupdisplay=cluster;

run;

 

When I run this code, in the "results viewer" window, I see the gray-white bars. But when I open the pdf file, the colors are blue and red. How can I save the output in PDF by keeping the styles of bars?

Any help is appreciated 🙂

proc sgplot;

You also need to specify the style on your ODS PDF statement:

 

ods pdf style=barcolors;
