Add ticks to y2axis

Melk — Mon, 15 May 2017 20:06:54 GMT

I am using sgplot to build vertical boxplots and would like to add ticks without labels to the y2axis where the yaxis has labels. when i add y2axis the yaxis goes away. how can i do this?

proc sgplot data=data;
vbox out / group=cat;
INSET 'p-value <0.001' / POSITION=TOPLEFT BORDER;
run;

Did you try having a Yaxis statement and a Y2axis statement?

It sounds like you might want a Display=Novalues on a Y2axis statement.

To get something on the Y2 axis, you need a plot statement that uses this axis. The example below uses two VBOX, the second is completely transparent and so not visiable.

proc sgplot data=sashelp.cars;
  vbox invoice / group=origin name="vb1" ;
  vbox invoice / group=origin name="vb2" transparency=1 y2axis;
run;

On the YAXIS statement, use the REFTICKS option:

proc sgplot data=data;

yaxis refticks=(values);
vbox out / group=cat;
INSET 'p-value <0.001' / POSITION=TOPLEFT BORDER;
run;

If you only want tick marks, just say REFTICKS without any arguments.

Hope this helps!
