Plotting with sgplot procedure

[Jurgita]

We have a data matrix of 1544x1544 i.e. pixel coordinates and their colors. We want to display that information graphically with the sgplot procedure. The _tmp dataset contains X, Y and color.

x=1; y=1; color="CX000000"; 
x=1; y=2; color="cxD3D3D3"; 
x=1; y=3; color="cx03D3D3"; 

...........................................................

...........................................................

Total 1544 ^ 2 = 2 383 936 observations

We use the following syntax:

data attrmap;
set _tmp;
retain id "myid";
altcolor=color;
min=_N_-0.1;max=_N_+0.1;
run;

proc sgplot data=_tmp rattrmap=attrmap;
scatter X=x Y=y /
colorresponse=nr markerattrs=(symbol=CircleFilled size=10)
rattrid=myid;
gradlegend "notitle";
run;

We get the error:

NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.

What could be an alternative solution to graphically represent such a big array?

[Reeza]

Can you provide a randomly generated input data set that we can use to test? I want to see if it runs on my system.

[PGStats]

Have you tried the HEATMAP statement in proc sgplot? By default it only accomodates 100000 bins but you can increase that number with the NXYBINSMAX= option of the ODS GRAPHICS statement.
