Customized Data Ranges and Color Gradients

[sashokku]

I am working on SAS VA 7.2(SAS) , SAS 8.1 (SAS VIYA) & I need to add color gradients to the charts. I saw online & found this link http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/vaug/68027/HTML/default/viewer.htm#p1m7j9y6bezv98n11fu8j... . But I am not able to change the color by right clicking on the legend bar. Can anyone help me out.

I want to use it in Bar chart, line chart but the guide says its possible only in 

• Heat map
• Geo map (with the Color role assigned)
• Bubble plot (with continuous data assigned to the Color role)
• Network diagram (with the Node Color or Link Color role assigned)
• Word cloud (with the Color role assigned)
• Treemap (with the Color role assigned)

  http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/vaug/68027/HTML/default/viewer.htm#p1m7j9y6bezv98n11fu8j...

  Any help would be great.

If those are the only visualisations listed in the documentation then I would say it is not possible with bar charts. I'm not sure colour gradients would work very well with a bar chart anyway - you really need a lot of graphic elements, like in a geo map, or a large surface area like a heat map to make sense of any gradient.

Thanks for the reply @SASKiwi. In my past experience with working on other tools like Qlik, where gradient coloring with charts like bar chat was good. So I want to leverage with SAS VA, it helps in showing the variance & it was appealing too.

@sashokku - Please feel free to raise this as a SASware Ballot idea in that case.

Sure. I will do it. Thanks for the suggestion @SASKiwi
