Pesky warning about discretelegend getting clipped

	yaxis label="Mean BMI";
	xaxis display=(nolabel) values=(1 to 4 by 1);

title2;
title3;
footnote2 "Omitting Groups Where N < 3";

WARNING: DISCRETELEGEND statement with DISPLAYCLIPPED=FALSE is getting clipped. The legend will not be drawn.
NOTE: There were 19 observations read from the data set WORK.MEANOUTGOLD2B.

How do I get rid of this warning? I did ods trace. I'm not using a template.

Try noautolegend option.
proc sgplot data=meanoutgold2b noautolegend ;

Use the SGPLOT option NOAUTOLEGEND.

proc sgplot data=meanoutgold2b NOAUTOLEGEND;

I want the legend though. I just don't want the warning in the log.

Can you post the data and let us to test your code ?

I think axis table was taking up too much space. I asked SAS technical support and she told me to increase the height to 7.5 inches. That seemed to fix it and still keep the legend.
