Footnote in Proc Sgplot

Leo9 — Wed, 31 Aug 2016 16:35:27 GMT

I am trying to insert in proc sgplot (in the png) file. I am placing footnote statement in the proc sgplot statements.

The footnote is coming up but I couldn't control the size. I tried height option but it is not working. How can you control the footonote attributes in the proc sgplot ?

Did you put the height optoin before the text?

footnote h=20pt "A Footnote";

Proc sgplot data=sashelp.class;

vbar age;

run;

I tried that but it is not working. Here is the code. I tried placing at after ods layout and before as well but didn't work.

ods graphics / reset height=4.5in width=8.8in outputfmt=png imagename= "out";

options orientation=landscape;
ods pdf notoc nogtitle gfootnote dpi=&dpi
file="&output_name"
style= mystyle;

Footnote 'Test 1' h=1pt ;

ods layout start ;

proc sgplot data = lbs ;
format lbstresn tcfmt. ;

series x = weeks y = lbstresn / group = subjid groupms=subjid markers markerattrs=(size =4);
yaxis label = &lbl values =(&ticks) display = all;
xaxis values= (0 to 24 by 1 ) label = "Weeks" display = all ;
refline &valu4/ label = "LOQ = &valu3 " labelattrs = (size = 6) labelloc=inside;
keylegend / valueattrs = (size=6) title = 'Subjects' ;
run;

ods layout end;
ods graphics off;
ods pdf close;

The height option must be before the text:

Footnote h=1pt 'Test 1' ;

not:

Footnote 'Test 1' h=1pt ;

Since we do not have your dataset you will have to explain exactly how it "is not working". No footnote appears? Appears in an unexpected place (often the bottom of a page not bottom of grapho or table). Footnote appears but the height is not correct? Wrong font/color/ or other font characterisitc?

But as @DanH_sas said: The text MODIFIERS come before the TEXT.

Instead of

Footnote 'Test 1' h=1pt ;

it should be

Footnote h=1pt 'Test 1';

I tried this option of putting height first but it is still not working. The footnote is appearing in the footnote but size

is not changing.

Never mind. I think this works. I had another footnote at the bottom which overwriting the first one.

Thanks you so much.
