autovref and vref in same graph?

[ocdobv]

Hello.  I'm relatively new to SAS graphing and am learning by trial and error.

How can I produce a plot that shows the major gridlines in gray (as shown in code 1) as well as show some particular reference lines in different colors (as shown in code 2)?

code1:

proc gplot data=sashelp.class;

plot height*weight /

haxis=axis1

vaxis=axis2

autovref cvref=graydd;

run;

code2:

proc gplot data=sashelp.class;

plot height*weight /

haxis=axis1

vaxis=axis2

vref=(63 68 74)

cvref=(green yellow red);

run;

Thanks.

Very easy with SGPLOT:

sgplot data=sashelp.class;

  scatter x=weight y=height;

  refline 63 68 74 / noclip lineattrs=(pattern=dash);

  yaxis grid;

  run;

If you want each refline colored differently, use three separate refline statements with three different colors.

Thank you.   This opens up lots of new things for me to try

Similarly easy with gplot ...

proc gplot data=sashelp.class;

plot height*weight /

haxis=axis1

vaxis=axis2

vref=(50 60 63 68 70 74 80)

cvref=(graydd graydd green yellow graydd red graydd);

run;

This works perfectly for the example I provided.   Is there any way to auto generate the 50, 60, 70, 80  --- similar to how the autoref does it? 

It's probably not a big deal.  I just don't like typing graydd 20+ times to account for different possible datasets.

Sometimes I use autoref for the gray lines, and then annotate the 'special' (colored) lines.
