SGPANEL and COLAXIS

MeredithG — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 17:18:20 GMT

It seems like my COLAXIS statement is being ignored:

proc sgpanel data=long noautolegend;

panelby group time/onepanel novarname sparse columns=2 rows=3 ;

vbar dose;

colaxis values=(0 to 120 by 30);

run;

I get an x-axis with a bunch of unreadable cluttered dose numbers.

I think that vbar implies a discrete X axis. Try FITPOLICY=THIN in your rowaxis statement.

I have, it doesn't make them thin enough to be readable. I may just make a new ordinal variable and use that instead.

Edit: I'm going to use a DENSITY plot. I have a bunch of other panels with discrete axes and I wanted them to look uniform, but it's not right for this variable.
Thank you!

If dose is a continuous variable, taking all sorts of values, then perhaps histograms would be preferable to vbar graphs. - PG
