Axis starting at more than zero.

deleted_user — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 19:49:34 GMT

I'm using GPlot to create two plots. I'd like the graph to start above the (0,0) origin. For example, instead of the vertical axis running from 0 to 100, I'd like it to run only from 50 to 100. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!

You can use an axis statement with gplot, to specify the exact range you want.

(Be careful - you might hard-code a range that's smaller than your data!)

axis1 order=(70 to 120 by 10);

proc gplot data=sashelp.class;
plot weight*height / vaxis=axis1;
run;

Here's the code for one of my axes.

axis3 value=(color=black font="Helvetica" height=7pt)
label = none
order=(.1 1 10 100 1000)
logbase=10
logstyle=expand
major=none
minor=none;

What I'm getting is the .1 line is above the y axis instead of in the same place. Is there a way for the Y axis to be the .1 line?

Thanks!

Try using offset=(0,) to see if you get what you want. You may get bleed-over of your markers on the axis, though.

OFFSET worked! Thanks!
