This is exactly what I'm trying to do! But it looks like proc sgplot doesn't offer any options. ... View more

Can you suggest how to do it in sgplot then? The example you suggested only has two groups, so I don't understand how to use it. The marker color and line color match - i.e., they aren't distinguishing separate things. I need a plot with two sets of groups. One has seven classes and the other has two. They are not nested. ...

Also, I posted the example code that I used in the question. I didn't use the code in that example, I referenced it because someone else suggested it above. ... View more

The reason for the confusion is that I am using two sets of groups. That is why I want different line colors AND different markers. In the example series plot, there is a pink line with pink markers and a blue line with blue markers. In the plot that I am trying to create there will be 7 or 8 lines of different colors (first group). Then I want two different sets of markers on the lines to indicate the second group, i.e., the groups aren't nested. I got SAS to this by showing one group with a dashed line and the other group with solid lines. Unfortunately the way SAS prints the dashed line doesn't aid much in distinguishing the groups. That is why I wanted to try for markers. ... View more

I am trying to make a plot where the lines have different colors for each group (achieved with seriesplot and group) and there is some kind of marker to indicate whether the trend is increasing or decreasing (not achieved).    I would like to use markers because the trends are subtle and not necessarily obvious on the plot (even though for this data an increase of 1 or 2% is important.) I tried using the linepatterngroup statement, but the line patterns that SAS automatically chose are hard to distinguish.    Here is what I have:  proc template; define statgraph groupgraph; begingraph / subpixel=on; entrytitle 'TITLE'; layout overlay / xaxisopts=(display=(ticks tickvalues) label="Month") yaxisopts=(griddisplay=on linearopts=(viewmax=0.30) label="% of monthly x") ; seriesplot x=mo y=mo_perc / group=l_group name='a' lineattrs=(thickness=2) smoothconnect=true linecolorgroup=l_group linepatterngroup=trend_mo; scatterplot x=mo y=mo_perc / group=trend_mo name='b' markerattrs=(symbol=(circlefilled starfilled)); layout gridded / halign=right valign=top columns=2 columngutter=5; discretelegend 'a' / title='Group' type=linecolor location=outside across=4 halign=left valign=bottom; discretelegend 'b' / title='Trend' location=outside across=4 halign=left valign=bottom itemsize=(linelength=30); endlayout; endlayout; endgraph; end; run; The error after the markerattrs statement is:  ERROR 22-322: Expecting a name. ERROR 200-322: The symbol is not recognized and will be ignored.     I was going off this (https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/v_015/grstatgraph/p0icsws0thpaghn1t12m27fyqnjc.htm😞 proc template; define statgraph symbolchange; begingraph; layout overlay; scatterplot y=height x=weight / markerattrs=(symbol=circlefilled); endlayout; endgraph; end; run; I generally find the limited examples in SAS documentation to be frustrating since I find examples more helpful than the syntax statements.  ...
