I have been asked to produce a series of boxplots with overlaid scatterplots. I would like to use the DATTRMAP statement in SGPLOT to assign a specific style to the point for my institution on the plot. I'm also using the DATALABEL statement to add some text. However, I cannot get the SGPLOT procedure to pick up the style elements that I have put into the ATTRMAP data set. The following code produces the boxplot, but my institution just has the label and no other unique style attributes. I've looked around for answers, but I cannot determine what is interfering with SGPLOT using the style attributes in  ATTRMAP 

 

data attrmap;
PUT id $CHAR20.;
put value $char15.;
put markersymbol $CHAR20.;
id= 'LABELVALUE'; value='MYPOINT'; markersymbol='SquareFilled'; markercolor='Green'; output;
run;

DATA HAVE;
INPUT ID $ GROUP $ VALUE LABELVALUE $ @;
METRIC = 'ADMIT_RATE';
CARDS;
01 OTHERS .214 .
02 OTHERS .100 .
03 OTHERS .765 . 
04 OURS   .421 MYPOINT
05 OTHERS .133 .
06 OTHERS .211 .
07 OTHERS .300 .
08 OTHERS .105 .
09 OTHERS .204 .
10 OTHERS .090 .

         markerattrs=(color=red symbol=CircleFilled) ATTRID=LABELVALUE;
refline .50 / LABEL = 'Avg. for Comparators';
yaxis offsetmax=0.1;
run;

There were two issues:

1. You needed to have a GROUP on your SCATTER plot for the attrmap to be used.

2. The MARKERATTRS overrides the attributes from the attrmap. Instead, create an _OTHER_ entry in the attrmap to provide the default symbol appearance.

 

Hope this helps!
