how to add a superscript on y axis label?

sky1 — Mon, 08 Feb 2016 20:44:24 GMT

I tried to add 10^(-3) to the label of y axis. I want to get rid of "^" and make (-3) be superscript. I used:

ods escapechar='^';

Proc sgplot……

yaxis label="10^{unicode '00b3'x}"

which allows me to add superscript (3). But I cannot add superscript (-3). What is the Unicode for “superscript (-3) in SAS? Thanks.

Could you please try

yaxis label="10^{super -3}"

Did you ever find the solution to this problem? I am in exactly the same boat, so far none of the proposed fixes are working for me!

 x1=50; y1=2.5;label="体重(*ESC*){sub 'mw'}"; output;
