Hi all. I have data:

trtpn visit median  q1 q3

1 2  0   0   0

2  2 0   0   0

3  2 0   0   0

1 3 2   1  4

2 3 1  -2  3

3 3 3  1  4

1 4 -2 -3 2

2 4 2  -1  3

3 4 2 -1 3

 

and i am using code below to plot median and interquartile:

proc sgplot data=mydata noautolegend;

styleattrs datasymbols=(circlefilled asterisk tranglefilled)

               Datalinepatterns=(solid solid solid)
               DATACONTRASTCOLORS=(blue green magenta);

series x=visitn y=median / group=trtpn groupdisplay=cluster clusterwidth=0.5;
scatter x=visitn y=median/yerrorlower=q1 yerrorupper=q3 group=trtpn groupdisplay=cluster clusterwidth=0.5 errorbarattrs=(thickness=1) markerattrs=(size=7) name='s';
xaxis values=(2,3,4) fitpolicy=rotate grid ;
yaxis grid values=(-80 to 20 by 20);
keylegend 's'/title="Treatment Group:" down=1 location=outside position=bottom noborder;

 

 

However, the color for plot is not as indicated in the  DATACONTRASTCOLORS=(blue green magenta), but it plots everything in black. Does anyone knows how to change color?

Thank you!
