proc sgplot no color in output

[GreggB]

the graphs in the Results Viewer have a nice color but my pdf file is black and white.

code:

ods pdf file="scores\Data files for researchers - SCDE\2021\plots of sdoc_sc_top10.pdf" ;
PROC sort data=dst10_math;
by demoid;
run;
/* YAXIS LABEL = 'Rain in Inches' GRID VALUES = (0 TO 10 BY 1); */
proc sgplot data=dst10_math;
by demoid;
styleattrs
datacontrastcolors=(red green blue);
vbar testgrade / response=mathpct34 group=level groupdisplay=cluster datalabel=mathpct34;
xaxis display=(nolabel noline noticks);
yaxis display=(nolabel) values=(0 to 80 by 10) ;
run;
ods pdf close;

Style = mmh_basic_blue1 appears to be a custom style. Did you define the colours for graphs or which style does it inherit from?

my apologies. It should not be there. When I delete it, nothing changes.

Try using a style that has colour built in by default, ie Meadow, Seaside or HTMLBLUE which is the standard HTML blue output.

Check out the Style Gallery for starters:
