Hi everyone,    I am creating graphics depicting trends of catastrophic sport injuries in all U.S. states. I want to make sure my colors are consistent for each scenario and state.   In one of my vbar graphs, I am showing injuries by sport and sex. I want to make sure athletesex will be blue for male and red for female. Additionally, I want to make sure that the blue bar showing males appears on the left side of the red. Right now, I think SAS is automatically putting the one with a higher value to the left, and I do not want that. My code is below.    proc sgplot data=sreportlabels; title "Frequency of Catastrophic Sport Injuries by Sport and Sex in Alabama (2013-2022)"; vbar injurysport / group=athletesex groupdisplay=Cluster; xaxis label = "Sport"; yaxis label = "Frequency" values = (0 to 20 by 5); where state = "Alabama"; run;   Thank you for the help!   ...

Hi all!   I am fairly new to SAS and am trying to assign specific colors to certain options in a group I have. I am trying to make a graph to show the frequency of catastrophic sport injuries that have occurred over the past few years and the event type distribution for those injuries for every state in the U.S. I have my years on the x axis and then have clustered the event types on each year. I tried using an attribute map to assign my colors and then used a macro to code for a few states at once. However, my colors are not as I assigned them, and they keep switching between states. Ideally, I am hoping to have the colors be consistent between all states. If anyone has suggestions on how to assign colors, I would greatly appreciate that! Thank you for the help in advance!   My code is below for my color assignment and graphing:   /*ASSIGNING COLORS TO DIFFERENT EVENT TYPES*/ data sreportmap2; length ID $10 value $6 linecolor $ 9 fillcolor $ 9; input ID $ value $ linecolor $ fillcolor $; datalines; BarAttr Competition/Game Green Green BarAttr Conditioning Yellow Yellow BarAttr Non-athletic Gray Gray BarAttr Other Black Black BarAttr OtherTeam Purple Purple BarAttr Practice Orange Orange BarAttr Scrimmage Lime Lime BarAttr Strength/Weight Pink Pink BarAttr Unafilliated Lightblue Lightblue ; run;   /*making my graph here*/ %macro chart7 (stateM=, title=); title "&title for &stateM"; proc sgplot data = sreport dattrmap=sreportmap2; where state=&stateM; vbar yearacademic / attrid=BarAttr categoryorder=respdesc group=eventtype groupdisplay=cluster; xaxis label = "Academic Year"; yaxis label = "Frequency"; run; %mend chart7;   %chart7 (stateM="Florida", title="Frequency of Catastrophic Injuries among Event Types from 2013 to 2022"); %chart7 (stateM="Ohio", title="Fatality Outcomes of Catastrophic Injuries among all Sports from 2013 to 2022");   ...
