yaxis in sgplot

Hi,

I have a problem with my y-axis in a sgplot. My code is:

proc sgplot data=mydata;
   vline informed / response=asked stat=mean limitstat=clm LEGENDLABEL = 'Average [95% CLM]' MARKERS LINEATTRS = (THICKNESS = 2);
run;

Can I set the y-axis to a fixed interval? The highest value is 12.5 now, but I would like the y-axis to go up to 20 (despite I do not have any observations here but it is to compare this graph with another one so the y-axis is similar). I tried both the "yaxis min=0 max=20" and "yaxis values=(0 to 20 by 1)".

Thanks.

Both of your ideas should work. There must have been a problem with your implementation. Run the following program and see if it works for you:

data mydata;
call streaminit(1);
do x = 1 to 20;
   do rep = 1 to 10;
      y = 1.5 + abs(x-10) + rand("uniform");
   end;
   output;
end;
run;

proc sgplot data=mydata;
   vline x / response=y stat=mean limitstat=clm LEGENDLABEL = 'Average [95% CLM]' MARKERS LINEATTRS = (THICKNESS = 2);
   yaxis min=0 max=20 ;
run;

proc sgplot data=mydata;
   vline x / response=y stat=mean limitstat=clm LEGENDLABEL = 'Average [95% CLM]' MARKERS LINEATTRS = (THICKNESS = 2);
   yaxis values=(0 to 20 by 1);
run;

Thanks, Ric. I don't know why it didn't work for me - but it does now! Have a nice day.
