Getting title in SGPLOT centered over the whole graph area and not only the data area

Carol1 — Fri, 21 Apr 2017 11:32:42 GMT

I am running SAS 9.3 and try to get the title centered.

I have very large formatted values on the y-axis, so the data area is very small on the right side.

If I use

title j=c "titletext"

it does not happen. Title is only centered above the graph box.

If I use

title j=l "titletext"

the title appears left bound.

Thanks for your help,

Carol

Starting in SAS 9.4, "j=c" gives you what you want.

title "titletext"; --- centers over the data area

title j=c "titletext"; --- centers in the graph

Dear Dan!

Thank you for this quick answer. But is there any way do to it in SAS 9.3?

I just found out how to center the title over graph area: if it is too long to fit over the data area it will suddenly be centered over the graph area... so adding blanks can help forcing this centering.
