Remove x axis percent values in proc sgplot

Hey everybody,

I created a stacked bar chart with the code:

ods graphics / reset width=16cm height=4cm;
title "Gender distribution" font=Arial;
proc sgplot data=newcomplete;
hbar Full / group=Gender BARWIDTH=.5 groupdisplay=stack stat=percent seglabel seglabelattrs=(Family=Arial size=10);
xaxis discreteorder=data;
styleattrs datacolors=("#D9D9D9" "#C5D4D8" "#B0BAD4" "#85BDB6" SKYBLUE) datalinepatterns=(solid) datacontrastcolors=(grey);
keylegend/ title=" "
titleattrs=(Size=1)
valueattrs=(Family=Arial Size=11);;
yaxis label="S8)"
valueattrs=(size=10);
XAXIS DISPLAY=(NOLABEL);
run;

The outcome is the picture below. Because I added the percent value of each segment in the bar already, I want to remove the percent values (0%...-...100%) on the x-axis scale.

Does anybody have an idea?

Thanks a lot!

You may try

XAXIS DISPLAY=(NOLABEL NOTICKS NOVALUES);

I would do three things here:

1. Change XAXIS DISPLAY=(NOLABEL) to be DISLAY=NONE to get rid of the XAXIS completely

2. Add a YAXIS DISPLAY=NONE as an additional statement to get rid of the YAXIS completely

3. I would add the NOBORDER to the SGPLOT statement to get rid of the frame around the data area

Hope this helps!

Dan
