Trying to insert a pie chart along with a table from proc report. I am using ODS Layout. My pie chart has distorted colors - it is good in the gchart results window but not in the PDF.
Thanks in advance.
Below is the relevant section for this chart:
ods region x=3.501in y=2in width=3.999in height=1.75in ;
goptions reset=all cback=white hsize=3.5in vsize=1.75in;
proc gchart data=&rxds1(where = (cnt = &i.));
pie lob / sumvar=mat
noheading
slice=none
value=none
coutline=BL
matchcolor
other=0
legend=legend1
midpoints="COMMERCIAL" "MEDICARE D" "MEDICAID" "CASH"
;
legend1 label=none position=(right middle) across=1 shape=bar(3,2);
pattern1 color=green ;
pattern2 color=yellow ;
pattern3 color=blue ;
pattern4 color=red ;
run;
quit;
This is a defect in SAS 9.3 that has been addressed in SAS 9.4. Unfortunately at this time I do not see a workaround.
How are you getting it into PDF? You don't show any related code.
Ballardw: thanks for the response - it is part of a longer, but I am adding the related PDF code:
options orientation=portrait papersize=letter nodate nonumber leftmargin=0.5in rightmargin=0.5in topmargin=.001in bottommargin=.001in;
ods escapechar='^';
