When we use SGPLOT to create this graph, we are actually cheating, and using the X and X2 axes to create the appearance of a 2 cell graph in one cell.  While there may be more ways to cheat, and place the column labels at the bottom, I recommend you use GTL to create a good Forest Plot.  See previous articles on Forest Plot in Graphically Speaking SAS blog. ...

Can you clarify whether you are referring to the tabular output from various stat procedures or statistics tables inside the graphs. ... View more

This can be tricky as the (stacked) group bar chart is summarizing the data, and you don't know where to place the labels.  One way would be to summarize the data yourself and precompute the low and high (and middle) of each bar segment in your data step.  Put the delta values in another column.  Then, use the HIGHLOW plot to draw the bars and use an overlaid scatter with MarkerChar to draw the delta values in the middle location. ...

Here is a SAS 9.2 example.  Note Green and Black color needles and scatter markers for last two names. Note: ContrastColor is used for the markers, Color is used for bars. proc template;                                                                   define style Styles.Thirteen;                                                    parent = styles.listing;       style GraphData13 /                                               markersymbol="circlefilled"          linestyle=1          color=red contrastcolor=green;       style GraphData14 /                                               markersymbol="circlefilled"          linestyle=1          color=gray contrastcolor=black;    end; run; ods listing style=thirteen; ods graphics / reset width=6in height=3in imagename='Thirteen'; proc sgplot data=sashelp.class(obs=14);   needle x=name y=height / group=name lineattrs=(pattern=solid thickness=9);   scatter x=name y=height / group=name markerattrs=(symbol=circlefilled size=20);   yaxis offsetmin=0;   run; ...

Yes, this is a bug in the code that has been reported.  The workaround is to restrict your x values using a where clause on the data set. ... View more

With SAS 9.2, colors and patterns (or symbols) cycle through the lists for each group.  So, first group value gets first color and first pattern, second group gets second color and second patter, and so on till you run out of the 11 patterns.  Then, group #12 gets 12th color and 1st pattern, and it continues.. If you want more colors, define more GraphData elements beyond 12 without any gaps in the color value.  If instead you want to hold the color constant, that is easy, just specify the color in the LINEATTRS option. ...

You can set line thickness or marker size in the GraphData elements, but these will not be honored in group case.  The color and pattern come from the GraphData elemtn, but thickness comes from the GraphDataDefault element.  The reason was to provide equal weight to all group values.  To draw one series with a different thickness, you will have to separate it out from the others and draw it with thicker line thickness in the LINEATTRS option. This works the same way in Attribute Map too.  There have been requests for this feature so this may be added at a future release. ... View more

As a general note for future queries, it is much easier for other people who are not familir with your project to help you if you include a (smaller or reduced) working program with fake or simulated data that will demnostrate the problem.  ... View more
