How to change variable/legend name in Y axis Female_LT50 to Female LT^(sub 50)?

Davejones — Tue, 14 Feb 2023 03:03:23 GMT

Hi experts,

ods escapechar = '^';

title 'LT^{sub 50}';

I used above to successfully add the subscript 50 to the title LT50, but was not able to Y axis variable/legend in PDF output figures. How to do it?

Thanks,

Label Female_LT50 = 'Female LT^{sub 50}';
Showed in Y axis
Female LT__SUB_50_SUB__

Assuming you are using the SGPLOT procedure, you can do it this way:

yaxis label="Female_LT^{unicode '2085'x}^{unicode '2080'x}";

You might also need to specify a different font, depending on whether the font you are using support these Unicode values. I would recommend the following if you have this font issue:

yaxis label="Female_LT^{unicode '2085'x}^{unicode '2080'x}" valueattrs=(family="Arial Unicode MS");

Hope this helps!

Hi Dan,

Thank you for your help and I'm using ODS style=statistical, proc GLM data=LT50 plots all; not SGPLOT

_____

%Macro LT50(var1, var2);
proc glm data=LT50 plots=all;
model &var1=&var2;
run;

Ksharp,

Thanks and I actually want to change "50" to subscript in the variables "LT50" in y axis in the proc GLM?

Best,

Dave

Thanks and can those code be used for proc GLM, PLOTS=ALL, not a proc sgplot?

No, it is not.
But you can make a output dataset by OUTPUT OUT= of PROC GLM . And using PROC SGPLOT to get what you want.
