Hello Everybody!

 

Is it possible to use a custom fill color in sgplot histogram? The code below using a hex code does not work.

 

proc sgplot data=aviator_demogs nocycleattrs;

histogram age_f18 / fillattrs=(color=#6394A6) name='s' binstart=20 binwidth=2 transparency=0.5;

density age_f18 /type=kernel lineattrs=(color=#6394A6);

histogram age_T45 / fillattrs=(color=LIGB) name='d' binstart=20 binwidth=2 transparency=0.5;

density age_T45 /type=kernel lineattrs=(color=LIGB);

keylegend 's' 'd' / location=inside position=topright across=1 noborder VALUEATTRS = (FAMILY = ARIAL SIZE = 8pt);

yaxis offsetmin=0 VALUEATTRS = (FAMILY = ARIAL SIZE = 8pt);

xaxis display=(nolabel) VALUEATTRS = (FAMILY = ARIAL SIZE = 8pt);

run;

Figured it out: the hex code needs to be enclosed in quotes.

You can use the 'CX' prefix (instead of '#') to specify hexadecimal colors:

 

proc sgplot data=sashelp.class nocycleattrs;
histogram age / fillattrs=(color=CX6394A6);
run;
