Problem with curvelabelpos option in PROC SGPLOT

QuinnCade — Tue, 04 Feb 2020 08:33:06 GMT

I am currently trying to use PROC SGPLOT in SAS to create a series plot with five lines (8th grade, 10th grade, 12th grade, College Students, and Young Adults). The yaxis is a percentage of prevalence in drug use ranging from 0-100. The xaxis is the year 1975-2019, but formatted (using proc format) so that it shows the value of year as '75-'19. I would like to label each line using its respective group

The "curvelabelpos=" does not give the option to place my label above the first data point of "12th Grade" and "College Students" so that my xaxis does not have all of the space on the left side of the plot. How do I move these two labels above the first data point of each line so that the xaxis does not have empty space?

@QuinnCade Hi and welcome to the SAS Community 🙂

Can you show us your code please?

You will need to use the OFFSETMIN option on the XAXIS statement to reclaim that space allotted for the data labels.

Hope this helps!
