I'm using SGPANEL, and would like to highlight certain panels that are interesting. I think I just want a way to set the wallcolor for each panel dynamically, is that possible?
Below code will make 3 panels, and all three will have the wallcolor set to yellow:
data have ;
input panelid x y ;
cards ;
1 10 10
1 20 20
2 10 15
2 20 15
3 10 20
3 20 10
;
proc sgpanel data=have ;
panelby panelid/ layout=panel;
styleattrs wallcolor="yellow" ;
series x=x y=y;
run ;
Is there a way I can make only the second panel have a yellow wallcolor?
I tried using a band plot in the background, which came close, but still extended the y-axis even though I set option NOEXTEND. I'm sure I could try other methods for adding a yellow bar in the background of second panel (e.g. REFLINE instead of a BAND), but before I go down that path, wondered if I'm missing an easier way.
My band plot approach:
data want ;
set have ;
if panelid=2 then do ;
lowerband=0 ;
upperband=100 ;
end ;
run ;
proc sgpanel data=want ;
panelby panelid/ layout=panel;
band x=x lower=lowerband upper=upperband /fillattrs=(color=yellow) noextend;
series x=x y=y;
run ;
Returned:
How about using the BLOCK plot for the highlighting, like so:
data want ;
set have ;
if panelid=2 then do ;
block = "highlight";
end ;
run ;
proc sgpanel data=want ;
panelby panelid/ layout=panel;
block x=x block=block /
/* novalues*/
class=block nomissingclass
fill fillattrs=(color=cornsilk) FILLTYPE=alternate
;
series x=x y=y;
run ;
It would even allow you to say why its background is different. You can switch of the text using NOVALUES. The additional CLASS= and NOMISSINGCLASS makeit easy to only display it for the panel wanted.
Using an attribute map you even have more possibilities:
data attrmap;
retain ID "myid";
length value fillcolor $ 16;
input value fillcolor filltransparency;
datalines;
highlight gold 0
_OTHER_ lightgrey 1
;
proc sgpanel data=want dattrmap=attrmap ;
panelby panelid/ layout=panel;
block x=x block=block /
novalues
attrid=myid
filltype=multicolor
;
series x=x y=y;
run ;
Quentin,
You could use options "offsetmin=0 offsetmax=0" to eliminate these cell padding.
proc sgpanel data=want ;
panelby panelid/ layout=panel;
band x=x lower=lowerband upper=upperband /fillattrs=(color=yellow) noextend;
series x=x y=y;
colaxis offsetmin=0 offsetmax=0;
rowaxis offsetmin=0 offsetmax=0;
run ;
Quentin, A more sophisticated way is using built-in %SGANNO macro .
data have ;
input panelid x y ;
cards ;
1 10 10
1 20 20
2 10 15
2 20 15
3 10 20
3 20 10
;
%sganno;
data sganno;
%SGRECTANGLE(
X1=53,
Y1=53,
HEIGHT=42,
WIDTH=45,
ANCHOR="BOTTOMLEFT" ,
DISPLAY="FILL",
DRAWSPACE="GRAPHPERCENT" ,
FILLCOLOR="yellow" ,
LAYER="BACK"
)
run;
proc sgpanel data=have sganno=sganno ;
panelby panelid/ layout=panel nowall;
series x=x y=y;
run ;

block x=x block=block /
/* novalues*/
class=block nomissingclass
fill fillattrs=(color=cornsilk) FILLTYPE=alternate

series x=x y=y;

panelby panelid/ layout=panel;
block x=x block=block /
novalues
attrid=myid
filltype=multicolor
;
series x=x y=y;
run ;
Maybe with additional:
valueattrs=(color=cornsilk)
to hide the "highlight" text? 🙂

Thanks so much @BrunoMueller . Really appreciate you adding the attrmap example, it's exactly what I need in order to keep the highlighting consistent. The block chart is working perfectly.
When I started with ODS graphics I started with GTL. But about a year later I realized how much customization you could do with SGPLOT and SGPANEL, and it always amazes me how flexible they are.
@Quentin you are welcome. I went through the same process, needed many times GTL, but then SGPLOT got more and more features and it got a lot easier to do special stuff.
