Y2Axis label direction (not values label)

Kastchei — Thu, 02 Apr 2020 22:59:56 GMT

Hi there,

When I use y2axis in sgplot, the label for the entire y2axis is rotated counterclockwise, just like the yaxis. I would like this label to instead be rotated clockwise. Is this possible?

Warm regards,

Michael

There are no options in SGPLOT or attributes in Graphics Template Language (GTL) that surface a feature for rotating the axis label.

You can customize the plot by specify a blank label and using annotation data to draw your own text at the point where a label should be with the rotation angle desired.

Example:

ods html file='plot.html';

* annotation data for drawing text for the label at x=110% of the data range and implicit y=50%;
* with the desired text render direction of rotation 270 (aka -90);
* 110% puts the text anchor point just beyond the axes tick mark labels;

data y2axis_anno;
  function = "text"; label = "Height"; rotate = 270; x1 = 110; drawspace = 'datapercent';
  OUTPUT;
run;

proc sgplot data=sashelp.class sganno=y2axis_anno;

  series x=name y=age;
  series x=name y=height / y2axis;

  yaxis max=20;
  y2axis min=30 label=" ";    %* Blank label;
run;

Output
