PROC SGPLOT - Fix Overlapping X-Axis Values

lbogar314 — Tue, 28 Sep 2021 15:44:09 GMT

My code is as follows:

proc sgplot data = demo;
styleattrs datacontrastcolors=(G R Olive Steel Gold Cyan)
datasymbols=(circlefilled);
scatter x = ss y = mm / group=en;

xaxis label= "SS" values = (600 to 900 by 25);
yaxis label= "MM" values = (-500 to 3000 by 500);

run;

This is causing my plot to remove all of the points that are not specified in the values statement. How do I avoid overlap on the x-axis but still include all of the points? I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.

Is your x variable discrete? Try JITTER=UNIFORM option on the SCATTER plot statement.

I just figured out my (very silly) mistake and went to remove this post but it already had a reply! Thank you so much. My x variable wasn't numeric- I don't know why I didn't think to check that first. I fixed that and all is well.
