How to change color of my lines KM curve [Proc SGPLOT]

[hpatel3]

Hi again SAS communities

i'm working on a KM curve plotting gender (female vs male survival) and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get my lines to be different colors

They're both blue here, and I'd like the female line to be red--and have that shown in the legend label. I feel like I've looked all over the internet and SAS communities to figure it out, and I see absolutely nothing. I'd also like to stay away from Macros if possible. I don't know how to use it. 

This is what I have currently: 

libname Hetal "\\tuftsmc\home\hpatel3\SAS Datasets";
run; 
ods graphics on/attrpriority=color;
ods select all;
ods output survivalplot=genderobs;

proc lifetest data=hetal.gender_obskm conftype=loglog plot=(s) plots=(survival(CL strata=panel)) 
timelist=(1 5 10) outs=Survival_Rates reduceout alpha=.05; 
/* Surival_rates gives you confidence intervals in "output data" tab*/
time FU_time*NYHA_stat(0); 
strata gender / test= logrank;
by gender;
where NYHA_Stat=1 AND Obst_Stat=1;
Title "Male patients with obstructive HCM in NYHA Stage III/IV";
run;



proc sgplot data=genderobs noborder nowall cycleattrs;
step x=Time y=Survival/ group=gender lineattrs=(color=darkblue  thickness=2 pattern=solid) name="s"
 legendlabel="obstructive";
 format gender genfmt.; 
xaxis display=(noticks) label="Years" values=(0 to 10 by 5) min=0 max=10 labelattrs=(size=10 weight=bold );
yaxis label='Survival Probability' values=(0 to 1.0 by 0.2) min=0 max=1.0 labelattrs=(size=10 weight=bold);
run;
ods graphics off; 

I think what's wrong is the specific line I've bolded above, but I really don't know at this point what to change. I would settle for females being a dashed line if that's easier. Really just something to differentiate. 

Here is what my curve currently looks like:

Hi @hpatel3. I think you can find the answer here: http://support.sas.com/kb/35/864.html

The sample code listed on that page is:

proc sgplot data=sashelp.class;
  reg x=weight y=height / group=sex degree=3;
  reg x=weight y=height / lineattrs=(color=blue pattern=dash) 
                          markerattrs=(color=black symbol=circlefilled);

Thanks for replying!

I've been playing around with this a bit and no matter which way what- I'm getting this dumb error in my code. I don't know WHAT exactly I'm missing here. Before I added this stratum and labels stuff in- I wasn't getting these errors, so oh goodness, someone please say they know what I'm doing wrong here. This just feels so silly that I can't change a single color--and have it reflect in the line color that say male or female in the key. It just seems like it would be simple!

proc sgplot data=genderobs noborder nowall cycleattrs;
step x=Time y=Survival/ group=gender lineattrs=(color=darkblue  thickness=2 pattern=solid) name="s"
 legendlabel="obstructive";
 format gender genfmt.; 
 series x=time y=Survival/ markerattrs=(symbol=plus) name='Female'; 
 series x=time y=survival / markerattrs=(symbol=plus) group=stratum name='male';
 xaxistable atrisk / x=atrisk class=stratum colorgroup=stratum valueattrs=(weight=bold);
keylegend'Female' / location=outside position=bottomright color=darkblue size=1 style=normal weight=normal);
 keylegend 'Male' / color=rose linelength=18;
 yaxis display=(noticks) label="Survival Probability "values=(0 to 1.0 by 0.2) min=0 max=1.0  ;
xaxis display=(noticks) label="Years" values=(0 to 10 by 5) min=0 max=10;
