Grouped scatterplot with proc template

[oussema]

Hello Folks, 

How to convert the following piece of code to proc template (I want to get circles as symbol and the color according to group):

proc sgplot data=sashelp.iris;
   scatter x=petallength y=petalwidth / group=species;
run;

Kind Regards,

I think you can accomplish this more simply without using PROC TEMPLATE.  Moving to the Graphics Programming board for more experts.  In the meantime, look at COLORMODEL and COLORRESPONSE options.

I am confused. The program you provided shoulld have given you exactly what you asked, unless you are using an ODS style that is not "color priority". Try this and see if it makes a difference:

ods graphics / attrpriority=color;
proc sgplot data=sashelp.iris;
   scatter x=petallength y=petalwidth / group=species;
run;

Hope this helps!
