I am trying to use a dattrmap to specify colors for each group of a scatter plot. I specifically need the "filledoutlinemarkers" style but can't seem to figure out if that's possible with the attribute map. The plot that I need can be created like this:

 

proc sgplot data=sashelp.class ;
   scatter x=height y=weight/group=sex filledoutlinedmarkers markerattrs=(symbol =circlefilled);
run;

When I try to make this plot using a dattrmap however, I don't end up having that outline on my markers (just solid filled circles)

data myattrmap;
	length id $10. value $30. MARKERCOLOR $40. color $10.;
	id = "scatter1";
	value='M';
	MARKERCOLOR='cxCC7BA1';
	MARKERSYMBOL = 'circlefilled';
	output;
	ID='scatter1';
	value="F";
	MARKERCOLOR='cx95BDE1';
	MARKERSYMBOL = 'circlefilled';
	output;
run;

proc sgplot data=sashelp.class dattrmap=myattrmap;
   scatter x=height y=weight/group=sex attrid=scatter1;
run;

Is there a way to specify the outline using a dattrmap?

No need " dattrmap= "  .

data myattrmap;
	length id $10. value $30. MARKERCOLOR $40. color $10.;
	id = "scatter1";
	value='M';
	MARKERCOLOR='cxCC7BA1';
	markersize=20;
	MARKERSYMBOL = 'circlefilled';
	output;
	ID='scatter1';
	value="F";
	MARKERCOLOR='cx95BDE1';
    markersize=20;
	MARKERSYMBOL = 'circlefilled';
	output;
run;

proc sgplot data=sashelp.class dattrmap=myattrmap;
   styleattrs   datacolors=(  cxCC7BA1 cx95BDE1) datacontrastcolors=(red yellow)  ;
   scatter x=height y=weight/group=sex  filledoutlinedmarkers attrid=scatter1;
run;

I can't use this solution since it overrides the dattrmap. So if I plot after filtering to sex="F", I end up with that group being assigned the color for "M" when both "M" and "F" are available. 

data myattrmap;
	length id $10. value $30. MARKERCOLOR $40. color $10.;
	id = "scatter1";
	value='M';
	MARKERCOLOR='cxCC7BA1';
	MARKERSYMBOL = 'circlefilled';
	output;
	ID='scatter1';
	value="F";
	MARKERCOLOR='cx95BDE1';
	MARKERSYMBOL = 'circlefilled';
	output;
run;

proc sgplot data=sashelp.class (where=(sex = "F")) dattrmap=myattrmap;
   styleattrs datacolors=(cxCC7BA1 cx95BDE1) datacontrastcolors=(red yellow);
   scatter x=height y=weight/group=sex  filledoutlinedmarkers attrid=scatter1;
run;

OK。How about this one ?

 

data myattrmap;
 length id $10. value $30. MARKERCOLOR $40.;
 id = "scatter1";
 value='M';
 MARKERCOLOR='cxCC7BA1';
 FillColor='cxCC7BA1';
 LineColor='green';
 MARKERSYMBOL = 'circlefilled';markersize=20;
 output;
 ID='scatter1';
 value="F";
 MARKERCOLOR='cx95BDE1';
 FillColor='cx95BDE1';
 LineColor='black';
 MARKERSYMBOL = 'circlefilled';markersize=20;
 output;
run;

proc sgplot data=sashelp.class (where=(sex = "F")) dattrmap=myattrmap;
   scatter x=height y=weight/group=sex  filledoutlinedmarkers attrid=scatter1;
run;
