- Problem: Pie chart with 1 value exploded - need to make the
- exploded slice pattern solid black.
-
- I've tried using 10 pattern statements, and I can get the
- 1st slice of 8 black, the 4 and 5th black, but can't
- get anything else to work.
-
- Pattern2 color=black value=p3n0;
- ...
- Pattern6 color=black value=ps;
- etc.
-
- I've tried moving the ps (pattern solid) from pattern2 to pattern7,
- but nothing works. It seems that for the exploded slide and the
- 2 slices that follow it grabs it's own sas default patterns. Nothing
- I do changes these patterns. I did try changing the colors, which
- made the "other" slice (last slice) change but the exploded slice
- stayed the same.
-
- I'm using sas v6.06 on vax/vms - my output device is PSLL ...
- I've check the log file, no errors listed that I can see!
-
- I'm using the PROC GCHART for generating the pie from a PROC SUMMARY
- output listing. Default pie fill is too dark and starts with pie slice
- 1 the darkest going to the light ... I guess this is the default but
- I don't understand why I can't override this! ... The manuals say pattern99
- is the limit... so I shouldn't be exceeding any limitations but
- it sure seems like I can only define 5 of the slice patterns...
-
- Any Ideas? Email me! Thanks... Pam
-
- (also with gplot sumuse*printer=month I get the total sumuse line but
- the legend doesn't say "total" - just blank... because the Proc summ doesn't
- label this one (just a "." in the .lis file) ... any ideas on how
- to label this? Besides writing a text value to that specific spot on the
- graph?)
-
- Thanks...
