proc sgplot

[GreggB]

I get nice colored graphs in the Results Viewer but my outputted pdf file is black and white. (this is an update from last week's post)

code:

ods pdf file="Desktop\plots of sdoc_sc_top10.pdf";
PROC sort data=dst10_math;
by demoid;
run;
proc sgplot data=dst10_math;
by demoid;
styleattrs
datacontrastcolors=(red green blue);
vbar testgrade / response=mathpct34 group=level groupdisplay=cluster datalabel=mathpct34;
xaxis display=(nolabel noline noticks);
yaxis display=(nolabel) values=(0 to 100 by 10) ;
run;
ods pdf close;

Is there a specific reason this is in SAS VA and not Graphical Programming?

ods pdf file="Desktop\plots of sdoc_sc_top10.pdf" style=HTMLBlue;

I don't see how this relates to the rest of the thread. Please explain why you showed us this code.

[Reeza]

No style is specified in the PDF statement, styles help control the theme and appearance of the graph.
Adding a style, specifically the default should help with ensuring the presentations match between the ODS PDF and ODS HTML results.

FYI - I explained this in the previous post so didn't bother in this one again.

[GreggB]

I updated my code with a style=  and a color= option but with no change.

ods pdf file="Desktop\plots of sdoc_sc_top10.pdf" style=HTMLBlue color=full;
PROC sort data=dst10_math;
by demoid;
run;
proc sgplot data=dst10_math;
by demoid;
styleattrs
datacontrastcolors=(red green blue);
vbar testgrade / response=mathpct34 group=level groupdisplay=cluster datalabel=mathpct34;
xaxis display=(nolabel noline noticks);
yaxis display=(nolabel) values=(0 to 100 by 10) ;
run;
ods pdf close;

Since I don't have your data set, I tried this with a different data set, and it works exactly as I expected it to work.

ods pdf file="temp.pdf" color=full;
proc sgplot data=sashelp.class;
scatter x=height y=weight/markerattrs=(color=red);
run;
ods pdf close;

When you tried it, were there errors in the log?

I don't think DATACONTRASTCOLORS works on VBAR plots. Try DATACOLORS=

[Reeza]

What happens if you run the following code? 

My bars are grey but they're outlined in the colours identified in the data contrast list. 

Version 1 (Results in Demo (4))

ods pdf file='/home/fkhurshed/Demo1/demo.pdf' style=HTMLBlue color=full;

proc sort data=sashelp.cars out=cars;
by origin;
run;


proc sgplot data=cars;
 by origin;
 styleattrs
  datacontrastcolors=(red green blue);
 vbar make / response=cylinders stat=freq group=type groupdisplay=cluster ;
  xaxis display=(nolabel noline noticks);
 *yaxis display=(nolabel) values=(0 to 100 by 10) ;
  run;

ods pdf close;

Version 2 (results in Demo (5))

ods pdf file='/home/fkhurshed/Demo1/demo.pdf' /*style=HTMLBlue*/ color=full;

proc sort data=sashelp.cars out=cars;
by origin;
run;


proc sgplot data=cars;
 by origin;
* styleattrs
  datacontrastcolors=(red green blue);
 vbar make / response=cylinders stat=freq group=type groupdisplay=cluster ;
  xaxis display=(nolabel noline noticks);
 *yaxis display=(nolabel) values=(0 to 100 by 10) ;
  run;

Results are attached  - do they match what you're getting?

[GreggB]

please ignore. I meant to paste the log.

[GreggB]

I just ran your code. a red scatterplot in  results viewer and black/white in the pdf file

That path doesn't look valid to me....is there a note in the log that the file is created successfully or did you truncate it for the forum?

[GreggB]

I don't have a good answer for that.

I asked about VA instead of graphical programming in case you are trying to do this in Visual Analytics or something and that would then be outside of what I'm familiar with entirely and there could be default options affecting your output...if it's not and just SAS Studio via Code, this question probably belongs in the graphical forum.
