Ok, this should be simple, but I'm stumped.
I've created a discrete attribute map to vary the colors in a stacked bar chart (SGPLOT VBAR), which automatically gets tied to the GROUP variable, but I'd like to tie it instead to a different variable.
When I specify a different COLORRESPONSE variable, however, a completely different set of colors - not those in the discrete attribute map - are used.
So, my question is: How do I tie the COLORRESPONSE variable to the colors in the discrete attribute map?
Or is this not possible with SGPLOT and I'll have to use GTL (e.g., DISCRETEATTRVAR)?
Thanks!

COLORRESPONSE variables cannot be tied to discrete attrmaps, even in GTL. You need to use a RANGE attrmap instead, It gives you the ability to associate a single color to a range, or even a list of colors to a range so that the colors vary across the range. Take a look at page 13 of my paper a did a couple of years ago, and let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
