bar chart: multiple colors for segment labels

[xxformat_com]

In the presented Grotta barcharts, the same text color is applied to all segments.

• https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/How-to-automate-connecting-segment-vertices-for-Grott...

Is it possible to apply different text colors to different segments (eg. white for dark backgrounds and black for other backgrounds) with proc sgplot simply or must proc template/sgrender be used?

With proc sgplot, I only see the text statement (but needs lots of data preparation for it) and annotations as possible solution. Correct?

• seglabelattrs(color=) does not allow multiple colors
• textcolor from a dattrmap table is not working with datalabel/seglabel
• styleattrs statement: does not offer this feature.
• proc template: class GraphDataText apply the same color to all segements
• axistable would not be usable to add values in that case

It does not look like so hard I think .Just prepare the data and using TEXT statement.

proc freq data=sashelp.heart noprint;
table status*bp_status/out=temp outpct;
run;
data want;
 set temp;
 by status;
 if first.status then cum_pct=0;
 pct=PCT_ROW*0.01;
 cum_pct+pct;
 x=cum_pct-pct/2;
 format cum_pct pct x percent8.2;
run;
proc sgplot data=want;
styleattrs datacontrastcolors=(black white navy);
hbarparm category=status response=pct/group=bp_status nooutline;
text x=x y=status text=pct/strip contributeoffset=none group=bp_status textattrs=(size=14);
run;
