Hi, I am trying to control the pattern ranges in the US Map graph when using proc gmap. Currently, I am using the default range, but want to be able to control it. This is my code. How can I define the ranges? For example, if I wanted the ranges to be 0%-9%, 10%-19%, etc... Thanks!
%let count=percent1;
%let grftitl=Population by State;
proc format;
picture pctpic (round) low-<0 ='009.99%' (prefix='-' mult=10000) 0-high='009.99%' (mult=10000);
run;
titleh=1.6"&grftitl";
goptionsdev=emf gsfname=output1gsfmode=replace;
legend1label=(h=1.4)value=(h=1.4);
procgmap allmap=maps.us data=state_count;
format &count pctpic.;
id state;
choro &count / coutline=black legend=legend1;
*Light blue to dark blue colors;
pattern1v=ms c=cxeff3ff;pattern2 v=msc=cxbdd7e7; pattern3v=ms c=cx6baed6;
pattern4v=ms c=cx2171b5;pattern5 v=msc=CX13478C; pattern6v=ms c=CX090766;
run; quit;
Easiest would be to use a custom format that groups your data into the desired range and use the Discrete option on the choro statement;
proc format;
value mypct
0 < 10 = ' 0% - 9%'
10 -< 20 = '10%-19%'
...
;
run;
And the choro statement would look like:
Choro &count / discrete coutline=black legend=legend1;
format &count mypct.;
Midpoints or Levels on the choro statement could also work but I prefer the explicit control of the custom format.

Thanks, that worked perfect!
