Hi everyone, 

Should be a pretty easy thing to do, but my outlineattrs just isn't working (won't become functional/turn blue). Would appreciate if anyone had any suggestions. See code below. 

 

Proc SGPLOT data=Mitacs.New2;
   histogram age / fillattrs=(color=CX008998) outlineattrs=(color=CXBEBEBE size=1pt);
   xaxis max=100 display=(nolabel);
   yaxis display=(nolabel);
Run;

Thanks!

I don't see that option listed in the documentation.

Unfortunately not seeing a way to change the colour. Depending on how important that is, you may want to pipe your code to the GTL code using the TMPLOUT option on PROC SGPLOT and then modify it there.

Thank you! That would explain it. May just have to leave it. 

 

Thank you for taking the time to answer this 🙂

What does your LOG show when you run that?

I don't find OUTLINEATTRS in the options for the HISTOGRAM statement for SGPLOT:

I think you are trying to use a Graphics Template Language option that belongs in Proc Template code with Sgplot.
