axis labelpos=datacenter

xxformat_com — Sat, 24 Aug 2024 10:16:49 GMT

Based on the SAS Online documentation https://go.documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.5/grstatproc/p07m2vpyq75fgan14m6g5pphnwlr.htm#n0s89yyivxyeren1ugj51fcu6a9p the two following procedure should output a different graph.

What is missing here?

proc sgplot data=sashelp.class;
    hbarbasic sex;
    
    xaxis values=(0 to 10)
          ranges=(0-20)
          labelpos=datacenter;
run;

proc sgplot data=sashelp.class;
    hbarbasic sex;
    
    xaxis values=(0 to 10)
          ranges=(0-20)
          labelpos=center;
run;

From your link:

CENTER centers the axis label in the axis area (including any offsets).

DATACENTER centers the axis label in the axis tick display area (excluding any offsets).

You don't have any offset defined.

What @ChrisNZ means is this:

proc sgplot data=sashelp.class;
hbarbasic sex;
xaxis
  values=(0 to 10)
  ranges=(0-10)
  labelpos=datacenter
  offsetmax=0.5
;
run;

proc sgplot data=sashelp.class;
hbarbasic sex;
xaxis
  values=(0 to 10)
  ranges=(0-10)
  labelpos=center
  offsetmax=0.5
;
run;

which gets your desired look.

Thank you to both of you.

I was so focused on the picture in the online doc, that I didn't realise that I should double check the definition.
