Hi~

Hi, first time poster form down under.

Love the site - its been very useful already - thanks all.

I have created a survival curve using proc lifetest.

ods graphics/noborder;
proc lifetest data=sashelp.BMT
              plots=survival(cb=hw atrisk(maxlen=13));
   time T * Status(0);
   strata Group;
run;

how can i remove the top and right hand axis 'frames' so that only the two axis lines are left.

Does anybody know how I might do this?

Hi @shanzha and welcome to the SAS Support Communities!

In the documentation "ODS Graphics Template Modification" there is an Example 22.4 Customizing Axes and Reference Lines, which (among other things) explains "how you can change the style so that a frame is not shown:"

proc template;
   define style noframe;
      parent=styles.listing; /* <-- enter your preferred style here */
      style graphwalls from graphwalls / frameborder=off;
   end;
run;

ods listing style=noframe;

(So, you would insert the above code with or without modifications before yours.)

The original example uses styles.htmlblue as the "parent" style. I used styles.listing in order to maintain the other characteristics of my default graph. You may want to enter your current style (not sure what its name is) and use your preferred ODS destination (e.g., ods html instead of ods listing).
