GROUPLC, GROUPLP, etc. do not follow attributions map in PROC SGPANEL

[mariko5797]

It appears the attributions map only applies to the GROUP option and not the other GROUPxC options. Is there a way to specify colors used for each potential legend item? Note, I need the legend to include all protection status options, even if some are not present.

data attrmap;
infile datalines dlm="," dsd;
length 	markersymbol $15.  
		value $30. 
		fillcolor linecolor markercolor $10.;
input id $ value $ fillcolor $ linecolor $ markercolor $ markersymbol $ linepattern;
datalines;

The DATTRMAP data set variable SHOW controls the behavior of appearance in the legend. If you use a variable

with the value of "DATA" then only the groups that have values appear in the legend, this is the default. The value of "ATTRMAP" for show will display all of the group values whether there are any in the data or not.

I not infrequently create two versions of an ID, with the Data and the other with ATTRMAP.

The  documentation is pretty clear:

GROUPLC=variable

specifies a variable that determines the line colors for a grouped plot independently of the GROUP= variable.

"independently of the Group" means overrides/replaces any Group characteristic.

You aren't very clear about what you may want to do but there are the options like LCATTRID LPATTRID MCATTRID (and others) to  modify behavior of the GROUPLC GROUPLP GROUPMC variables (and others)

I needed the lines and points to be displayed for each subject (GROUP= patid), but the colors and patterns to be based on protection status (GROUPxC= pstat). Adding the LCATTRID, etc. seemed to do the trick. Thank you!
