Fine adjusting position of xaxis label

Multipla99 — Sat, 12 Nov 2022 06:38:31 GMT

The code below generates the horisontal bar chart in the picture. Within the code, in the xaxis statment the labelpos option place the xaxis label to the right. However, I would like to fine adjust the position of the xaxis label and place it a little bit to the left and below the row of thick values. Is this possible?

ods _all_ close;
ods listing 
	image_dpi 	  = 300                                              
	gpath		  = "C:\Temp"
	style 		  = styles.listing
;
ods graphics on /                       
	reset     = all
	outputfmt = png                       
	imagename = "Supportcommunity"    		
	scale     = on                        
	height    = 15cm                       
	width     = 12cm                      
;
title "Car sales sum of invoice"
;
proc sgplot 
	data= sashelp.cars;
	hbar type													
		/ 
		group= origin 									
		groupdisplay= cluster 					
		response= Invoice;
	xaxis valuesformat=COMMA12.0 	  
		label='US $' 							
		labelpos= right 					
		grid                      
		offsetmax= 0.05;
	yaxis labelpos=top;
	keylegend / location=inside 			
		position= bottomright 
		down=3 								
		outerpad=(right=22 bottom=15);
run
;
title;
footnote;
ods graphics off;
ods pdf close;
ods listing close;

How can I fine adjust the position of the xaxis label?

Just pad lots of blanks before "$US"?

title "Car sales sum of invoice";
proc sgplot 
	data= sashelp.cars;
	hbar type													
		/ 
		group= origin 									
		groupdisplay= cluster 					
		response= Invoice;
	xaxis valuesformat=COMMA12.0 	  
		label="                                                                                    US $"						
		grid                      
		offsetmax= 0.05;
	yaxis labelpos=top;
	keylegend / location=inside 			
		position= bottomright 
		down=3 								
		outerpad=(right=22 bottom=15);
run
;

Interesting.

Padding white blanks has no effect to the generated picture "Supportcommunity.png".

But if you are using TAB characters instead of white blanks,then you could get job done.

ods _all_ close;
ods listing 
	image_dpi 	  = 300                                              
	gpath		  = "C:\Temp"
	style 		  = styles.listing
;
ods graphics on /                       
	reset     = all
	outputfmt = png                       
	imagename = "Supportcommunity"    		
	scale     = on                        
	height    = 15cm                       
	width     = 12cm                      
;
title "Car sales sum of invoice";
proc sgplot 
	data= sashelp.cars;
	hbar type													
		/ 
		group= origin 									
		groupdisplay= cluster 					
		response= Invoice;
	xaxis valuesformat=COMMA12.0 	  
		label="															US $"						
		grid                      
		offsetmax= 0.05;
	yaxis labelpos=top;
	keylegend / location=inside 			
		position= bottomright 
		down=3 								
		outerpad=(right=22 bottom=15);
