Thank you, that worked out very nicely.   Just one other question:   proc sgplot data =VPPlotsforSAS1 (where=(level=1)); scatter x=Vp y=OR / yerrorupper=UCL errorbarattrs colorresponse = startcolor=blue NEUTRALCOLOR=yellow ENDCOLOR=aliceblue /* yerrorlower=LCL */ group=Blood_Pressure groupdisplay=cluster clusterwidth=0.5; xaxis type =discrete; run;   I'm getting an error message here  ERROR 73-322: Expecting an =. ERROR 76-322: Syntax error, statement will be ignored. It says I need to put an = sign, but there is one , and changing the number of spaces and brackets seems not to make a difference. Im trying too assign pre-specified colours for the three blood pressures that are clustered at each level on the x axis ... View more

Thanks for that. Unfortunately that won't work in this case because my OR is a point estimate as are my Confidence intervals. I do not have a numeric continuous variable to plot on the Y axis .   Have seen may iterations of the solution you mention but not one that will plot a line between my specified OR extimate and the CI's   ...

Thanks Steve. Yes it does. I had uploaded the code I had used in my original question but do not see it there now. That happens alot when I start a new thread. It takes several attempts to get it to actually post.   Much appreciated.   Christos  ... View more

The only thing I just tried was adding param (   ) to the covariates in the proc gampl statement. Any thoughts?   param ( Redo1 NIDDM1 COPD Hyperlip CHF Afib CM CAD MI AICD DDRF PVD BB Steroids Amio AA1 Statin1 Nitrates1 Diurectics1 IABP_ever1 /* Age pre_Na pre_BUN pre_Cr pre_Gluc pre_PTT pre_Neutro pre_Lymph pre_Hgb */ ) ...

Fascinating.   Not sure I am getting the same result running the macro as you are. I was looking at this the last couple of nights as well.   CMYK99570002 does not produce the same colour as CX006bfa. The Blue colour is much lighter in the former, although its good that you are conforming that we cannot place a value of 100 with current options in SAS.    I thought the Hex code of 006bfa was another colour coding system separate from RGB. If all we need to do is place CX in front of the hex code (that being the code for RGB),  then the problem is solved.  So the  0,107,250 is not the RGB code after all?  ... View more

Here is an example. I just used the numeric code that was (presumably) given as the CMYK code.   Here is the web page with the instructions to authors. https://academic.oup.com/bja/pages/Instructions_To_Authors   Having said that, I just spoke with the Editor. Since they just changed the publisher we are no longer necessarily required to use these colours but I don't like loose ends. Would very much like to understand what is happening here.  ...

Well then something is obviously missing, and it must be something very simple.   The CMYK codes I have are correct as I have checked these palettes across a variety of websites . When I apply these to anything in proc sgplot using CMYK or RGB codes or hex codes, the colours are just wrong.   I'm using SAS University edition on a browser, not SAS base. Could this have something to do with it? ... View more

I just tried one of Rick's Macros: https://blogs.sas.com/content/iml/2012/10/22/whats-in-a-name.html   Seems to work, although the data A "Rose" step didn't seem to be necessary. This is what I did: /* convert integer 0--255 to 2 digit hex 00-FF */ %macro hex2(n); %local digits n1 n2; %let digits = 0123456789ABCDEF; %let n1 = %substr(&digits, &n / 16 + 1, 1); %let n2 = %substr(&digits, &n - &n / 16 * 16 + 1, 1); &n1&n2 %mend hex2; /* convert RGB triplet (r,g,b) to SAS color in hexadecimal. The r, g, and b parameters are integers in the range 0--255 */ %macro RGB(r,g,b); %cmpres(CX%hex2(&r)%hex2(&g)%hex2(&b)) %mend RGB; proc sgplot data=sashelp.class; scatter x=height y=weight / markerattrs=(size=14 symbol=CircleFilled color=%RGB(0,107,250) ); run; proc sgplot data = SplineOut; YAXIS label = "Estimated probably of Vasoplegia within 24h in ICU"; XAXIS label = "Induction SBP"; band x=Ind_SBP1 lower=l upper=u/fillattrs = (color =%RGB(0,107,250)); series x = Ind_SBP1 y = fit/ curvelabel = "Predicted value" lineattrs=(color =black pattern=solid); series x = Ind_SBP1 y = u/ curvelabel = "Upper CI" lineattrs=(color =black pattern=LONGDASHSHORTDASH); series x = Ind_SBP1 y = l/ curvelabel = "Lower CI" lineattrs=(color =black pattern=LONGDASHSHORTDASH); run;     I don't know why a Macro was necessary because this macro was meant I guess to pre-set a value for Rose. Is it not possible in SAS do achieve these colours with out the macro for the RGB settings? Why can I not get this by specifying the CMYK setting for the desired colour?   And Yes, despite 20 years living in the States, I still can't spell proper-like. ... View more

Having a strange time with setting the colours...... I've read and sort-of understood all the links you have sent to me. Previously I was able to set the right colours by translating the CMYK settings to RGB or  Hex.   Doesnt seem to be working anymore as Im no longer getting the desired colours.     proc sgplot data = SplineOut; YAXIS label = "Estimated probably of Vasoplegia within 24h in ICU"; XAXIS label = "Induction SBP"; band x=Ind_SBP1 lower=l upper=u/fillattrs = (color = ##########         ); series x = Ind_SBP1 y = fit/ curvelabel = "Predicted value" lineattrs=(color =black pattern=solid); series x = Ind_SBP1 y = u/ curvelabel = "Upper CI" lineattrs=(color =black pattern=LONGDASHSHORTDASH); series x = Ind_SBP1 y = l/ curvelabel = "Lower CI" lineattrs=(color =black pattern=LONGDASHSHORTDASH); run; /* Colour 1 (blue): c100 m57 y0 k2         RGB= 0 107 250     Hex=006bfa*/ /* Colour 2 (green): c71 m26 y100 k25   RGB= 55 142 0       Hex=378e00*/ /* Colour 3 (Pink): c10 m70 y0 k0           RGB= 230 77 255   Hex=e64dff*/ /* Colour 4 (gold): c0 m50 y100 k0         RGB= 255 128 0     Hex=ff8000*/ /* Colour 5 (light blue): c80 m0 y0 k0     RGB= 51 255 55     Hex=33ffff*/ /* Colour 6 (orange): c0 m80 y100 k0    RGB= 255 51 0       Hex=ff3300*/     Any takers? ...
