SGPLOT overlaying plots is causing extra spacing between axes

Melk — Wed, 01 Aug 2018 19:27:55 GMT

I am overlaying some plots (vbar and 2 scatters) on an sgplot statement but each overlay adds extra space between the 0 mark on the y axis and my x axis. How can I prevent this?

proc sgplot data=dat noautolegend noborder;
   vbarparm category=sex response=median;
   scatter x=sex y=median/ yerrorupper=quartile3 markerattrs=(size=0);
   scatter x=sex y=mylabel / markerattrs=(symbol=asterisk);
   yaxis values=(0 to 100 by 10);
   xaxis display=(nolabel) valueattrs=(size=12pt);
run;

Can you show us a screen dump of what you mean?

yaxis offsetmin=0.

Each plot type requests the preferred offset it needs. Scatter plot wants preferred offset of the size of the marker. So, adding a scatter layer will increase offsets by the size of the marker.
