Multiple marker symbols in proc sgplot

[RKC1]

Hi,

I need to have different marker symbols for each color (circlefilled starfilled triangle). Right now I am getting only 'circlefilled' for all colors. Could any one help me how we can get different symbols for different colours? Thanks .

 I tried using markerattrs=(symbol=(circlefilled starfilled triangle ) ). But did not work .

Code:

     proc sgplot data=chg  noborder ;
     styleattrs datacontrastcolors=(green gold red black blue grey pink) ;

     refline 0 / lineattrs=(pattern=shortdash);
     series x=xvar y=yvar / group=subjid grouplc=atrtgrp groupmc=atrtgrp
                markers markerattrs=(symbol=circlefilled )
               lineattrs=(thickness=2 pattern=solid) name='a';
     keylegend 'a' / title='TRT' type=linecolor valueattrs=(size=7)
               location=inside position=topright across=1 opaque;

     xaxis label='Week';
   run;

Your're probably generating HTML output, using the default HTMLBLUE style. The style has ATTRIORITY=COLOR set, which will give you that behavior. To override it, add this before you run your proc:

ods graphics / attrpriority=none;

Hope this helps!

Dear Dan,

No, I am creating pdf document, I have all graphics set. I am getting lines in different colour as I specified (datacontrastcolors=(green gold red black blue grey pink).  But I want different marker symbols along with circlefiled. Hope you got it. Thanks.

Oh, I see what you're doing. You need to remove the SYMBOL from MARKERATTRS and use DATAMARKERS on the STYLEATTRS statement. Like this:

proc sgplot data=chg  noborder ;
     styleattrs datacontrastcolors=(green gold red black blue grey pink) 
                    datamarkers=(circlefilled starfilled triangle ) ;

     refline 0 / lineattrs=(pattern=shortdash);
     series x=xvar y=yvar / group=subjid grouplc=atrtgrp groupmc=atrtgrp
                markers   lineattrs=(thickness=2 pattern=solid) name='a';
     keylegend 'a' / title='TRT' type=linecolor valueattrs=(size=7)
               location=inside position=topright across=1 opaque;

     xaxis label='Week';
   run;

It would helpful if you could either post data that we can test your code with rewrite it to use SASHELP.CARS
