Hello SAS Forum.

Is there any way ,I could set a background color for the bars while using the proc sgpanel.

Here is the sample code for panels(with bars).I want to set a background for bars.
/***************************************************************************************

title1 "Average MPG (City) by Vehicle Origin and Type";

proc sgpanel data = sashelp.cars ;

panelby origin / layout=columnlattice onepanel novarname

noborder colheaderpos=top;

hbar type / response=mpg_city group=type ;

colaxis display=none ;

rowaxis label="Average MPG (City)" ;

keylegend / title="Type" position=right across=1 ;

run;
************************************************************************************/

Any idea on this??

Please let me know..

Appreciate your help.

Thanks

You can do it by changing the wall color in the style. You can make a little style that inherits from your favorite style but just changes the wall color. Here is a little example:

[pre]
proc template;
define style styles.mybackground;
parent=styles.listing; /* or your favorite style */
style graphwalls from graphwalls /
color=yellow;
end;
run;

ods listing style=mybackground;
[/pre]

Hope this helps,

Thanks Dan for your quick response.

But somehow I couldn't get the background .

this is the way I proceeded:

/**************************************************************


proc template;
define style styles.mybackground;
parent=styles.listing; /* or your favorite style */
style graphwalls from graphwalls /
color=yellow;
end;
run;

ods listing file = "mybackground" ;

title1 "Average MPG (City) by Vehicle Origin and Type";
proc sgpanel data = sashelp.cars description= "mybackground";
panelby origin / layout=columnlattice onepanel novarname

noborder colheaderpos=top ;

hbar type / response=mpg_city group=type ;

colaxis display=none ;

rowaxis label="Average MPG (City)" ;

keylegend / title="Type" position=right across=1 ;

run;

/******************************************************************

Its giving me a warning:

WARNING: Unsupported device 'ACTIVEX' for LISTING destination. Using device 'ACTXIMG'.


I get the output but not with the background for bars.


Thanks again for your help.

The ODS LISTING statement should read:

ods listing style=mybackground;

Your example had:

ods listing file="mybackground";

Give that a try and see if that works for you.

Thanks!

Thanks Dan

I did change it...

Its giving me output without any errors,but not with the background

here is what i have done.
/************************************************************************


proc template;
define style styles.mybackground;
parent=styles.listing; /* or your favorite style */
style graphwalls from graphwalls /
color=yellow;
end;
run;

ods listing style = mybackground ;

title1 "Average MPG (City) by Vehicle Origin and Type";
proc sgpanel data = sashelp.cars description= "mybackground";
panelby origin / layout=columnlattice onepanel novarname

noborder colheaderpos=top ;

hbar type / response=mpg_city group=type ;

colaxis display=none ;

rowaxis label="Average MPG (City)" ;

keylegend / title="Type" position=right across=1 ;

run;

/***********************************************************************

Am I calling the template correctly in the Panel block?

Thanks

Hey Siri,

Your code runs correctly for me. Try restarting your SAS session and see if that helps. Your session may be in a state where the style request is getting ignored. Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks!
