How to disable axis labels in a PROC TEMPLATE's STATGRAPH block?

Suppose a SAS/GRAPH® GTL "DEFINE STATGRAPH" block has a "LAYOUT OVERLAY" block which produces a chart as shown below:

SAS/GRAPH with an x-axis label

How do I adjust the template to remove the label "mm_yyyymm"? I'm not seeing any options under SERIESPLOT that would disable the label.

Solution

  • It depends on the type of layout.... but in all three, use a DISPLAY= option without a label tag.

    LAYOUT OVERLAY

    One can set the XAXISOPTS or YAXISOPTS options on the LAYOUT block:

    layout overlay / xaxisopts=( display=(ticks tickvalues) griddisplay=on type=discrete )

    LAYOUT DATALATTICE or LAYOUT DATAPANEL

    This time it's the ROWAXISOPTS or COLUMNAXISOPTS options on the layout block:

      layout datalattice rowvar=x columnvar=y / rowaxisopts=(display=(ticks tickvalues)

    LAYOUT LATTICE

    The ROWAXIS / COLUMNAXIS statements can use the option inside their respective ROWAXES / COLUMNAXES block: 

       rowaxis / display=(ticks tickvalues);
