We are trying to do a conditional styling on a scatter graph but it does not work. On changing to a bar graph the styling starts working.
Below is a sample code with the car master file:

GRAPH FILE CAR
SUM CNT.CAR
ACROSS COUNTRY
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH SCATTERS
ON GRAPH SET GRAPHEDIT SERVER
ON GRAPH SET BARNUMB OFF
ON GRAPH SET 3D OFF
ON GRAPH SET VZERO ON
ON GRAPH SET GRID ON
ON GRAPH PCHOLD FORMAT PNG
ON GRAPH SET GRAPHSTYLE *
setMarkerDisplay(true);
setConnectLineMarkers(false);
setConnectScatterMarkers(false);
setO1LabelDisplay(true);
setO1AxisSide(0);
setO1MajorGridDisplay(true);
setO1MajorGridStyle(0);
setO1MinorGridDisplay(false);
setAxisAssignment(0,0);
setSeriesType(0,0);
setY1LabelDisplay(true);
setY1AxisSide(0);
setY1MajorGridDisplay(true);
setY1MajorGridStyle(0);
setY1MinorGridDisplay(false);
setTextFormatPreset(getY1Label(),-1);
setTextFormatPattern(getY1Label(),"#.##");
setPieFeelerTextDisplay(1);
setPieLabelDisplay(0);
setTextFormatPreset(getPieSliceLabel(),1);
setRiserBorderMode(1);
setSeriesDefaultTransparentBorderColor(true);
setUseSeriesBorderDefaults(true);
setLegendDisplay(true);
setLegendTextAutofit(true);
setFontSizeAbsolute(getY1Title(),true);
setFontSizeAbsolute(getY1Label(),true);
setFontSizeAbsolute(getY2Title(),true);
setFontSizeAbsolute(getY2Label(),true);
setFontSizeAbsolute(getO1Title(),true);
setO1LabelAutofit(true);
setPlace(false);
ENDSTYLE
ON GRAPH SET STYLE *
PAGESIZE='Letter',
LEFTMARGIN=0.250000,
RIGHTMARGIN=0.250000,
TOPMARGIN=0.250000,
BOTTOMMARGIN=0.250000,
SQUEEZE=ON,
ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT,
$
DEFMACRO=COND0001,
MACTYPE=RULE,
WHEN=N1 LE 4,
$
TYPE=REPORT,
GRID=OFF,
FONT='TIMES NEW ROMAN',
SIZE=10,
BACKCOLOR='NONE',
STYLE=NORMAL,
$
TYPE=DATA,
ACROSSCOLUMN=N1,
COLOR=RGB(0 51 0),
MACRO=COND0001,
$
ENDSTYLE
END

But if I change from
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH SCATTERS
to
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH BAR
the conditions apply and the styling works correctly.

Tony, I tried replacing N1 with C2 .
But it didn't work.

I know, that's why I deleted the post!

If I have time later, then I will see if I can fathom it out.

Tried your code against my server. It works fine. If I understand, this is where you are doing condition then it works fine for me for both bar and scatters.

TYPE=DATA,ACROSSCOLUMN=N1,COLOR=RGB(0 51 0),
MACRO=COND0001,$

Kamesh,

That's what I thought initially, and then I realised all values were 3 or less and therefore changed the condition to be LE 2. Try it and see that the markers are still all red even though they are not all 2 or less.

Add a new line to color the markers to blue (or some other colour) to double check.

Sorry it's got to be another API call as markers do not behave the same as risers.

(although in this particular case you must reference the markers as risers.
Not totally logical but then again java is an island, coffee or a programming language
depending on your age and interests. So it's not surprising that some implementers get
confused and so make it very difficult for those of us who have to use it).

look at the following example using the car file

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM CNT.CAR NOPRINT
COMPUTE COUNTER/I9= LAST COUNTER +1; NOPRINT
-* required because the java API starts counting from 0
COMPUTE COUNTER/I9= COUNTER -1; NOPRINT
COMPUTE FRED/A100= IF C1 LE 2 THEN 'setExceptionalRiser(0,' || EDIT(C3) || '); ' | 'setFillColor(getExceptionalRiser(0,' || EDIT(C3) || '),new Color(255,0,0));' ELSE ' ';
BY COUNTRY NOPRINT
ON TABLE SET HOLDLIST PRINTONLY
ON TABLE SAVE
END
-RUN
